School Council had a fantastic morning when Miss Hogger and Claire took them to the Town Hall to meet our great friend, the Mayor of Greenwich Christine May. The children got to sit in the council chambers and had a brilliant debate about whether we should have more school holidays!

Our school council are getting excited about their visit to the Town Hall tomorrow where they will meet the Mayor of Greenwich and find out more about the council and how everything runs. Democracy in action! We can’t wait to hear all about it.

One thing our children are so good at is redrafting their work. It’s no wonder they come up with such great results – compare these Picasso portraits from the first draft to the fourth.

Mrs Fenn leads our early morning writing club, and this half term the children will be writing about Windrush and entering a competition. We’ll keep you posted on their progress.

Ferdi class are doing some hard thinking this afternoon. The children are helping to establish their own environment and it is definitely looking good!

Thanks to monies raised by parents at the Enrichment Evening and a successful bid made by Mrs Wells, we have been able to purchase some new climbing equipment for the playground. Year 5 Nergui and Year 2 Tarzan were the first two classes to try it out this morning. We think it gets a thumbs-up!!
