Miss Davis and Caroline have taken our reading club up to the National Theatre tonight to see the highly acclaimed production of War Horse. We’re making memories!!

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!’

A few more pics from behind the scenes at Saturday’s dance show. The children recounted their experience in assembly this morning and we enjoyed hearing about it. This was a two and a half hour show in a professional theatre with an audience of more than 200. Apparently, finding your place on the stage when it’s dark and you’re wearing sunglasses is not the easiest thing in the world! We loved their stories. Once again, well done all.

Four square fever is sweeping our school. This is a fun new playground game that has our children competing and getting active in the playground. Tyrone seems to enjoy playing it too!

Miss Davis’ early morning reading club are really enjoying the book War Horse by Michael Morpurgo – and on the 21st they will get to go and see the show at the National Theatre. So exciting!

Many of our children and families marked yesterday’s Remembrance Sunday in various ways. This morning, we will have a two minute silence in school to commemorate those who were lost. We will remember them.

Well done to our fantastic Year 6 dance group who had a long rehearsal this afternoon getting ready for their big performance next Saturday night at the Mick Jagger Centre in Dartford. You are definitely looking good! Thanks to ‘Dance Moms’ Mrs McCarron and Robbie for looking after them all afternoon. The Dance School
