A quick learning walk around the school this afternoon shows the wide variety of activities and learning that is taking place. We have Year 1 programming beebots and solving puzzles, FS2 getting active and making their hearts beat faster, music scales and story writing in Year 3, rugby, dance, creating a Gruffalo house using Lego, close observational drawing and a ‘drop-everything-and-read’ session. Wonderful kids, wonderful adults
Thanks to the parents and carers who came along to this morning’s meeting with Mr Shilton to find out more about reading and phonics in FS2. The best thing that any parent can do to support their child’s learning is to share books with them for enjoyment. Read with them and to them whenever you can – we promise it’s worth the effort.
Introducing Ferdi Class!! What used to be our FS1 classroom has now been converted into a really exciting class which has been named Ferdi. Miss Evans and Miss Hogger have organised the room to support children each morning with intensive English and Mathematics, and Mrs Plume and Teresa will be supporting different children in the afternoon through Nurture. We are so excited about the potential that this new provision is going to bring to our school and we will of course keep you updated as it develops.
A HUGE thank you to our very own Pearly Princess of Woolwich (Miss Bennett), her Pearly King Daddio (Clive) and the naughtiest Chelsea Pensioner we’ve ever met (Dave) for agreeing to cut the ribbon on our new Nursery. We can’t imagine a better start to this new era for our youngest children. LOVE IT!!
We’re really excited today as we have welcomed 26 Chinese students in to school from Donghai Primary School in China. They are going to spend the next 5 days with us as they want to learn all about what it is like to go to school in England. As always, our children have embraced and welcomed them warmly. We love making new friends and we’re excited to learn more about our similarities and our differences. Fun!
China, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Kenya, Nigeria….. we are travelling all around the world today and learning a little bit about other cultures. Our children and families speak more than 24 different languages and it’s really fun learning what makes us different and what makes us the same. Thanks to the parents and grandparents who came to tell us about their cultures and traditions and who supported staff to plan a really fun-packed day.
A summary of the day with video can be found here – http://www.peddlemywheels.com/school-bike-markets or see below
How it works –
● 08:00-09:30: drop off bikes for selling and we tag them with your details. These are added to the selection of children’s bikes (and adult on request*) we bring along.
● 09:30-15:30: mechanic checks every bike and makes minor repairs where necessary
● people selling bikes will get a valuation of the bike sent via email and a link to a secure site for inputting their bank or PayPal details for payment to be made when the bike sells
● there is a 25% commission charge on all bike sales which we deduct once the bike is sold
● 15:30-16:30: market opens for people to buy bikes. We accept credit cards and cash
● sellers will receive an email when their bike sells and a money transfer will be made the Monday after it sells
● unsold bikes are taken with us to be sold at other markets and payments are made once sold
● if the seller wants to take their unsold bike it is their responsibility to collect at the end of the day
● Any questions – please email info@peddlemywheels.com * Any adult looking for a bike for themselves should complete a ‘Market Order Form’ on our website at least 48 hours before the event and we will try and bring something suitable along.
