On Thursday morning  we will be visiting Whitgift school to watch a music concert, performed by children who attend the school.  It is a great opportunity to hear live music and a good way to start the Whitgift Primary project which the children will be participating in, on the 20th November (more info to follow).

Mrs Stout will be in to check the Children’s University passports.  Please make sure they are up to date.
The Children’s University is an amazing programme that encourages your child to take part in a wide variety of activities both in and outside school that will enrich their lives and give them access to activities they wouldn’t usually have.  We would like as many children in Year 6 as possible to purchase a Children’s University passport (£2 from Miss Handley) and start collecting stamps.  Clubs that they participate in both in school and outside school will stamp their passport and once they have received 30 stamps they will be recognised at a formal graduation ceremony.  Children in the past have met the Mayor of Croydon at this event and other important people within the community.

It is a great way for children to develop more than just academic skills and be recognised for all the extra-curricular activities that they do.  This can include sports clubs, drama clubs, arts and crafts clubs, brownies, scouts, volunteering with the Lily Trust at school, supporting the school with whole community projects and many more.

Congratulations to Yasti  who was awarded a Merit card for always being willing to help both adults and peers with a great attitude.

Well done to all the Cross country runners.  You were amazing and kept going and didn’t stop running.

Congratulations to Amy and Yasti who received our first Privilege cards for last week

Don’t forget to log on to the Class Dojo and see how your child is doing.

Thank you to all the parents who have now made Parent’s Evening appointments.  I look forward to meeting you all.
