Please continue to keep your Children’s University passport up to date with activities you did over half term.
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.

Make sure your child has their bike in school if they have signed up to the Bike ability course this week and have had their bikes checked.

Congratulations to Zainab, Shai, Reem and Jaima who helped run the first Bully Buster assembly last Tuesday.

Congratulations to Andrea, Tom, Oliwia and Layla who have attended their first JTA (Junior Travel ambassadors) meeting this week and have some exciting ideas for this half term.

The Bully Buster competition is now up and running.  All badge competition entries must be handed in by Tuesday 7th November.  If you haven’t had your template, ask one of the Year 6 Bully Busters.

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