6 Week Summer Clubs
Clubs begin next week. Clubs are very popular and we have a waiting list for several clubs. If you have changed your mind and no longer want your child to attend, please inform us so that we can allocate places to those on the waiting list.
Year 4 River Thames Cruise
This week, Year 4 travelled to Waterloo Pier and went on a river cruise as part of our Geography unit on rivers. We saw lots of famous landmarks such as the London Eye, The Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), The Tower of London and Tower Bridge. After that we had lunch by the River Thames in Jubilee gardens before returning to school.
“The trip was fun. The boat was a bit windy and I was freezing. I learned that they changed the colour of the bridge and the colour was red so no one would know about it [that they had forgotten to remove it].” - Mahamadou
“The trip was fun. The train was noisy. When we went to Waterloo we went on the boat and it was so fun. I can see lots of boats.” - Akshith
Year 6 SATS (Monday 11th - Thursday 14th May)
A huge good luck to all of our amazing Year 6 children, who will be taking their SATs next week. The children have worked incredibly hard this year and we are very proud of them already. We know they will do their very best! To help children feel calm, confident and prepared, please make sure they are getting a good night’s sleep throughout the week and arrive at school on time each morning.
We will be running a free Year 6 Breakfast Club from 8:00–8:30am every day during SATs week. Children can enjoy a selection of cereal, yoghurt and fruit, as well as spend some time with the Year 6 team before the tests begin. We would also encourage children to take time to relax, spend time doing things they enjoy and remember that SATs are simply a chance to show what they know. Good luck team! You are going to smash it!
Morning drop off and afternoon pickup
This is a polite reminder to families that the school gates open at 8:30 am in the mornings. Please drop your child off on time to support them in lining up with their friends before walking into the class. This will support your child/ren in starting the day in the best way possible. From Monday -Thursday, gates open at 3:10pm for Reception families only (2:20pm Friday). Families of children in Years 1-6, we kindly ask you to arrive ready for 3:20 pm (2:30 pm on Friday) when the gates open. This way, we can ensure children can safely get to their lines to wait for their families.
Reception visit to community gardens
Reception had an exciting trip to the Forest Gate Community Gardens last week. We were very proud of how the children explored the garden so sensibly and with keen interest in the natural world around them. The garden is also open to the public if you wish to visit with your children.
