Think it's fair to say the teachers might not have won this one... Well done, scholars, for all the effort you've been putting into TT Rockstars this week!

We are all very excited for this week's Times Tables Rock Stars London Rocks challenge! Log on and play, Monday to Friday this week from 2pm to 7pm🎸⭐️ If you need some inspiration, check out some of our teachers having their very own TTRS competition! youtu.be/IupZWB2bhNk via YouTube

Instead of sports day this year, we're taking part in the #arksportsdaychallenge. Each year group can compete to see who can do the most exercise in the next two weeks! 🏅🏆🏅Watch the video below then sign up here: youtu.be/G-rjdcEyEF4 via YouTube arksportsdaychallenge.com

Well done to everybody who took part in the Times Tables Rock Stars London Rocks Challenge last week! We're very impressed with the hard work you put in. Special congratulations to Germain class, who came top of all classes at AJK - and in the top 5% of all classes in London!! 🏅⭐️🎸

Our Year 5 and 6 pupils have had a wonderful time working with @GuardianEduCent this year - so many commented after the sessions how inspired they felt to become journalists in the future! Lovely to see some of them in this video 👇

Got a friend who is joining an Ark Schools & Ventures school this coming term. Attended behaviour management training today and fed back: 'feels like I've gone from non league to the premier league in terms of what a professional set up looks and feels like.' 👌

Wonderful to welcome the Ark John Keats Academy team back. Watching Mide Biola, Katie Marshall and Mark Jesnick & Chanti deliver the opening session on T&L is *joyful* 💙

We are looking forward to welcoming our pupils back this week. A reminder that the times for pick up and drop off of our staggered start can be found here: arkjohnkeats.org

So far so good! Thank-you parents for respecting the social distancing guidelines. It really helps during entrance and exit times.

Incredibly impressed with our parents patience and understanding during drop offs and collections. Thank-you! Please remember to pick up pupils between 2:30pm and 2:45pm today and every Friday from now on.

Each week we will celebrate the top users of our online homework platform- Doodle! This week Potter class are the winners! Well done Potter!

Parents it's definitely raining tomorrow and the rest of the week! Please remember to make sure your child has adequate protection from the rain when they come to school.

Parents from tomorrow, we are asking parents to wear face coverings at drop off/collection time. We are keen to do all we can to reduce transmission where parents are in close contact with each other. School leaders will also wear masks. Thank you for your support.

Congratulations to Hubble class on a great week of doodling! They are the class to beat for next week!

This #WorldTeachersDay, we are so grateful to all our teachers--and, indeed, all our staff, in the classroom and out--who have done so much for our young people in these challenging times. Thank you!
