Creative Watergate

See Me, Hear Me! Pupils made sensory banners in classes & in workshops with families before members of our School Council took them up to the Southbank for a peaceful protest. They are clear about what needs to change! 1/2

Pupils and families want...more accessible play spaces, to join in, to be seen and heard, spoken to and welcomed. It's not asking for much, but it's so important. Come on, everyone has the power to make change - big or small. See Me, Hear Me! 2/2

@doctor_oxford I'd quite like my Teaching Assistants to stay doing the brilliant job they are doing. Fund schools better so we can pay them better.

Naked cruelty from Conservative Chair Jake Berry today: “People know that when their [fuel] bills arrive, they can either cut their consumption or get a higher salary, higher wages, go out there and get that new job. That’s the approach the govt is taking".

Brilliant time at the Deptford X community parade! Great to see our families out and about enjoying the festival together. #deptfordx #jelili

@SchoolWatergate families enjoying the Deptford X parade today - a wonderful sense of community as we marched down Deptford High St together 🎉🎨🐠

Just some of our pupils embracing the celebratory vibes of our parade with @jeliliatiku - thanks to @deptfordx for finding a way for us to join in! 😊🎨🐠🎉

@jeliliatiku brought joyful chaos to our playground yesterday! @SchoolWatergate know how to parade! Laughter, fun, dancing, drumming amidst the curiosity of this masquerade figure. Wow! @Deptfordx

Fantastic to welcome @Deptfordx artists to lead inclusive art workshops @SchoolWatergate - we loved making fabulous fish for our parade with @jeliliatiku 🐠🎨🎉

Fantastic to see the work of @SchoolWatergate pupils proudly in display @DeptfordLounge as part of the Liberty Festival #libertyLDN #wearelewisham #everychildanartist

Art Clubbers beating the heat - we blobbed bright paint on a white sheet and then used big syringes to squirt water and watched the paint drip and spread. @SchoolWatergate #artclub #everychildanartist #wearelewisham @WeAreLewisham

Sharing the artistic space - engagement, expression, purpose - working at once individually and collaboratively. #everychildanartist #libertyfestival

Pink and Lime classes got to explore mark making to music as part of Liberty Festival 2022 with artist Gerald Curtis -we loved the collaborative art works they made and the focus of our Watergate artists @WeAreLewisham #libertyfestival @thealbanyse8

Our artists don't just use their hands to make their work! #libertyfestival @TheAlbanySE8 @WeAreLewisham @SchoolWatergate #allschoolsshouldbeartschools

Silver class used their MOVE skills (and recycling) to make this amazing 'Save the Planet' poster! They also made signs and staged a demonstration in the playground! @SchoolWatergate @MOVEprogramme

A fabulous day of performances topped off with this wonderful, whole school finale on a sunny afternoon and a sea of faces full of awe and wonder as the FIREBIRD came to greet pupils - some emotional goodbyes as it flew away too!! @BamboozleUK

Just look at that beautiful engagement! Your performers picked up on our pupils' cues and fed off their energy brilliantly. Wonderful reactions and memorable moments. @BamboozleUK

Such wonderful engagement as the FIREBIRD meets the pupils. 🔥🐦🥰 Thank you @BamboozleUK
