It’s really important to us that our children have a good knowledge of current affairs. One of their favourite times of the week is our Newsbites assembly which gives the children a round up of the week’s news stories, often followed by a lively discussion. This week we heard about a satellite landing on Mars, traffic light labelling on our breakfast cereal and the discovery of an Egyptian tomb. What a fascinating world we live in!

Thanks to our lovely Premises Manager, Brian – who donated this great game to Miss Evans and Ferdi Class. He must have known how much they were all going to love it!

Thanks a million to our wonderful local football club Charlton FC who have donated an entire football kit to the school so we get to look EVEN COOLER when we’re out and about representing our school. We’ll give it a test run this Thursday!

The children in Ferdi class have written and posted out invitations to their parents/carers and are looking forward to making them afternoon tea this Thursday. Fun!

Well done to our Year 4 Sewing Club who created these fantastic pyramid door stops.

We had an enjoyable assembly this morning thanks to Mrs Lewis who spoke to us all about the importance of developing a growth mindset, not a fixed mindset. If we have a growth mindset, we believe that we can always improve in what we are doing. Some of the staff had a go at drawing the Eiffel Tower and we saw a mixture of mindsets. Mrs Fenn was very switched off and negative, Mr Pollard gave up half way through and Mr Lawrence thought his drawing was ‘perfect’ and there was nothing he could do to improve it. Thank goodness for Mrs McCarron and her ‘growth mindset!’
