Thank you to
@CityPolice
for coming in this afternoon to visit all of our children. We always love seeing the horses, but it was great to have our fingerprints done and meet the sniffer dog. Also, who knew there were so many different police hats?!
A huge thank you and an extremely sad goodbye to our precious Mrs Bilborough. Over 20 years of dedication and inspiration to the school. Your music will be missed.
What a wonderful experience today. Our children sang at the lunchtime Eucharist in St Paul's Cathedral. Thank you
@tom_daggett
for making this possible.
Our very own wonderful children in the Young Voices Choir, along with Billy Ocean, Ruti and YolanDa Brown have covered ' Lovely Day' to support children's mental health week and Place2Be, the children's mental health charity. Download the track here:

The chocolate cake at dinner went down a treat and the children are just finishing off their evening walk and camp craft sessions before settling down for the evening. I hope Ms Caunter remembered to bring a good bedtime story to read to everyone...
Thank you from all of us here at The Aldgate School to
@FishmongersCo
for their generous donation of £500 towards our Chromebook appeal. Thank you too to
@LiveryLSL
for matching this donation. We’ve put an order in and can’t wait for the new Chromebooks to arrive!
We had some really exciting news in assembly today! Our Year 5 choir found out that they've won the PP4S songwriting competition. Their composition will be sung by 3000 children and played by a 120 piece orchestra in the Royal Albert Hall.
Sherlock Holmes, Samuel Pepys, Greek gods and goddesses, Nelson Mandela and a whole plethora of well known characters and individuals in school today as an end to a great book week.
Today's girls football tournament was an overwhelming success for our pupils. They couldn't be happier at achieving overall winner and seeing their hard work pay off.
What a fantastic strings concert this morning from our Year 4, 5 and 6 children as well as Concert Group. All finished off with a massed performance of Jingle Bells. We are so lucky to have this provision at our school.
Look who I spotted on my way to school this morning! Our art club dragon has found his way into Kahaila. Why don't you drop by and say hi to him over the next couple of weeks?
Today, the Inside Out project is live on Tower Bridge. Why don't you head there and see how many of us you can spot? If you can't make today there will be more locations soon.
This morning the children were up and ready at the first call... I think they're excited for the first of their 'big' activities - either canoeing, mountain climbing or caving. We're also looking forward to seeing members of
@Portal_Trust
and sharing out experiences with them!
Having a wonderful experience at this evening's Prom Praise for Schools in the Royal Albert Hall. A lot of proud faces when the children heard the song they wrote resounding round the auditorium!
In Reception we've been looking at 'Our City' and creating our own local buildings. Thank you
@BotolphAldgate
for letting us display them in church.... a first exhibition aged only 4 years old!
"It's the best day ever... We get to eat Book Food..." One of the children when they just got up to the dining hall today. It's fair to say that Maurice's magical rainbow spaghetti and Bruce Bogtrotter's chocolate cake is going down well. Happy World Book Day
A great big thank you to the City of London Police Charity for Children and your generous donation to support our children to be able to attend school residentials! They really are lifechanging experiences.
@CityPolice
3 of our artists had a wonderful time at the Eid in the City dinner at the Guildhall last night. Their artwork was used on the menu for the event.
@cityoflondon
It truly is a place to inspire awe and wonder in the world (we couldn't quite get a clear photo of Jupiter but the harvest moon was stunning). The children are just getting up and ready for breakfast before their big day of activity ahead!
I think it's fair to say that this has to be one of my favourite times in the school year - chick time. The miracle of new life taking place as the children watch...
A huge thank you from all of The Aldgate School community to
@ClothworkersCo
for their generous donation of £1,500 towards the Chromebook appeal. It will make a huge difference to our children!
Thank you for coming to visit
@bishopSarahM
and for answering all of our questions. We enjoyed hearing your answers and finding out that you used to be a nurse!
Amazing artwork by
@aldgateschool
going up today on the hoardings for our new church hall. Huge thanks to
@AldgateConnect
for their sponsorship of the hoarding art.
From 2 to 6 in just a few hours. The awe and wonder of the world...mixed in with a bit of maths (they’re beautifully split into 2 groups of 3) for our Reception children today.
