Some of our children are working with Mrs Plume to create a special festive wreath that will be displayed at Eltham Palace this Christmas. They have come up with the theme of ‘foraging,’ and spent time at the Tarn this week collecting some natural resources that they will be using. We will let you know when the wreath is on display and how you can see it. 

Meet the Eco team – they will be reminding their teachers about recycling, switching off lights and thinking about the energy we use in school and how we can make savings and look after our planet. 

Harvest Festival Thanks to all our families for the generous donations to this year’s harvest festival. We have been celebrating all week in school and giving thanks for what we have. We will make sure that donations go to those in need and we know they will make a difference.

Congratulations to our star pupil who was a awarded a special ‘Do the Right Thing’ award at the Town Hall on Friday evening. He has been recognised for his resilience and courage and we are all very proud of him. 

Today we said a fond farewell to Billy and wished him well on his exciting new chapter. We also warmly welcomed Ryan who will become our sports coach in school and will take over much of the PE teaching. 

Black History Month

We are celebrating Black History Month and our children have been thinking about what it means to them to be ‘Standing Firm in Pride and Power.’ This is what some of them said:

TORRI – Me showing confidence in myself.

SCARLETT – Bring proud of who I am.

DAVID – Speaking up when something is not fair.

VICTORIA – Showing the world what I am capable of.

Empowering words from our children. The future is bright indeed!

Do you love autumn?? The weather has been lovely lately and we are all enjoying the autumn light and seasonal changes. Adam the school frog had definitely grown, might this be our first year with frog spawn? The children are enjoying the play equipment at breaktime and playing happily together.

We were so excited today for another FREE book giveaway thanks to Miss Davis. In Year 3, we had to have a bit of free reading time so we could get cracking on our brand new books. Every child in the school will be taking home two books to keep.
