Congratulations to our fabulous cook VICKY who has made it to the final three in the 2015 ‘Catering Manager of the Year’ award. She finds out in October where she will come while tucking into a five course meal at the Dorchester. I say!! We love her at Middle Park. Good luck Vicky!!
As Year 6 enter their final few days of primary school, yesterday they headed off to Southend to celebrate all the hard work and the good times they have had this year and during their time at Middle Park. They had a fun-packed day which they all really enjoyed. A fitting send off!! We’ll miss you little beauties!
A huge thank you to Miss Turner and Diane, and of course to the staff and students of Eltham Hill School, for organising our very enjoyable Sports Day this morning. The children competed brilliantly and we managed to get back before it got too hot! Great to see so many parents and carers there supporting. Well done everyone.
Well done Middle Park! We have been awarded the Primary Quality Mark for the third successive time. This is an award that celebrates our continuous improvement in literacy and numeracy. We really impressed the awarding body with our vibrant classrooms, problem solving pupils and constant drive for high quality learning in all areas of literacy and numeracy within school.
This week, the children in Year 6 who have been coming in to early morning booster sessions were awarded special school mugs to recognise their extra efforts. Mrs Adams calculated that some children had notched up an extra 60 hours of learning through their commitment to the booster sessions. This effort has definitely been reflected in their accelerated levels of progress. There is no question that the very special Mrs Drummond hot chocolate and Willoughby toast has been the fuel needed to get the grey matter working!! Well done and thank you to all the children and to the staff for running these successful sessions.
This week we welcomed a professional photographer into school to capture our lovely children in action. The photographs will be used in our new prospectus, in large prints throughout the school and on the school website. We can’t wait to see the end results – Well done to all the children for being so gorgeous!
FS2 Gruffalo & Tango had a fantastic opportunity this term to work with a professional artist, Emmanuelle Camus. They took part in a Community Arts Project, along with Vista Fields Children’s Centre. The project took place over 3 days, where the children helped to create wind chimes and stunning ceramic garden accessories. Their fabulous creations are on display outside, at the front of Vista Fields Children’s Centre. Go and have a look! There will also be a public exhibition of the children’s work, along with the other schools that took part, at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich during the month of August.
