It’s a time of transition for many of our children, and to mark the change from one key stage to another, the children have been celebrating with special ‘graduations.’ Last week FS2 graduated and this week, Year 2 have been celebrating their time in the infants. They’ve all done brilliantly and they are definitely ready to be big, grown up juniors.
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!
Tiddler have had a fun-filled day at the Environmental Curriculum Centre, enjoying a range of activities to enrich their science learning. They headed off on a mini beast hunt, searched for life in the pond dipping and got to feed Darwin and Wallace the beautiful pigs! Happy faces, happy kids.
Once again, a huge thank you to Mr Fallon for taking the time out to take photographs of our KS1 children enjoying their sports morning and for happily sharing his shots with you all. He has captured the enjoyment, the concentration and the determination brilliantly. Well done again to the brave parents and staff who joined in with the fun at the end. A HUGE thank you to the sports coaches from Cray Wanderers for organising the event and well done to our always impressive Year 6 young leaders
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.
