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 in 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 Abita who was awarded a Merit card for being a great role model and always being willing to learn.
Congratulations to Tom, Amy and Flo, who were selected to represent the school in the Cross Country competition held at Lloyd Park. Find out how they got on in next weeks blog!
Ask your child about our Privilege Cards-once your child has received 5, they will earn a prize
Don’t forget to log on to the Class Dojo and see how your child is doing.
DON’T FORGET TO RETURN PARENTS’ EVENING SLIPS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO GUARANTEE THE TIME SLOT YOU WOULD LIKE!
