Oliver Goldsmith Primary School, Kingsbury, has announced that it will be open as usual tomorrow, Monday  January 16th, following a repair to its boiler.

The school had to close on Friday 13th when the boiler broke down and the school was without heating or hot water.

Congratulations to all concerned for a speedy repair.

More discoveries in Fryent Country Park

Hot on the heels of the discovery by Year 1 pupils from Oliver Goldsmith Primary School of a water stick insect, Ranatra linearis, a few weeks ago, another class also found something unusual last week.

The pond stick insect, confusingly, is not really a stick insect and Year 4s from Michael Sobell Sinai Primary School found a worm that is not a worm.

They found a slow worm which is not a worm and not a snake. It is a lizard which through evolution has lost its legs.  The children found an adult (below) and a juvenile in a seldom disturbed section of Fryent Country Park. As ths is a protected species we will try and make sure it remains undisturbed.
