Thank you for all the donations of cakes this morning. Don’t forget to bring some pennies with you after school in case there is anything left!

What an amazing afternoon we all had at Severndroog Castle. The children listened intently to all the wonderful stories and interesting information about the castle and Lady Anne James who commissioned it. We got to climb the 86 steps to the top and had a good look at the views – managing to spot several landmarks including Middle Park Primary School! The 12 children were worthy winners and really enjoyed their prize. Thank you Eltham Arts for this opportunity!!

Our amazing school council have been educating all the classes on dyslexia this week with an interesting presentation. We are all very proud of our children with dyslexia being able to share their experiences and what it feels like for them.

Well done to Mrs Matthews and her wonderful choir who entertained the shoppers and passers by in Passey Place this afternoon. They looked and sounded fabulous. Thanks also to all the parents and families who came along to support them.

Well done to RILEY LU who was awarded a special commendation this week for his 7 times table rap. Ready??

I know maths is good for me, 7X2 I know is 14
So our fun has just begun, 7X3 is 21

You know this! Don’t make me wait! 7X4 is 28
Come on Riley! Look alive! 7X5 is 35

Don’t cheat or I’ll tell on you, 7X6 is 42
Come on now, you’re doing fine, 7X7 is 49

Memorise this bag of tricks, 7X8 is 56
Let’s be proud of you and me! 7X9 is 63

What fun! Let’s do this again…. 70 equals 7X10

And you’ll be pleased to hear that he does know his 7 times table extremely well! Good job Riley.
