Message from Jane
Many things make me feel very privileged to be the Head
Teacher of this wonderful school but I’d just like to share a few
of those moments from just one day - yesterday:

Reception classes going on a visit to the Natural History
Museum with so many parent helpers

Staff and parents giving up their own time to help
transform our library

Our choir performing at the O2 arena as part of Young
Voices

Supply teachers (covering the teachers with the choir)
telling me just how much they’ve loved working with our
children

Pupils producing detailed geometric artwork as part of a 3
day workshop

The creative talent shown in our Knitting Club
Thank you for lending us your children each day!
The classes with the best attendance:
KS1: Tulips Class 96%
KS2: Cedar Class 100%
Date: 28 January 2015
School Uniform
Please make sure your child comes to school wearing
the correct uniform. Children are not allowed to wear
clothing with logos as part of their indoor uniform.
Shoes or boots must be black. Black trainers may be worn
but not coloured ones. Children should not be wearing any
jewellery apart from stud earrings. We do have some
second hand items available—please see Mrs King if you
are interested.
PE Kits—Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in
school every week. PE is a statutory part of the curriculum
and all children are expected to take part. Plimsolls are ideal
footwear and relatively cheap to buy.
Absence reporting
Please could parents ensure that when leaving an
answerphone message to report your child being
unwell, you give details of their sickness, e.g. “cold & flu”.
Absences will not be authorised unless specific reasons are
given.
Question of the Week
The answer is: “ Yes, but only when the sun shines.”
What is the question?

Year 6 Trip to the Transport Museum
Y6 enjoyed a great day out last week at the
London Transport Museum in Covent Garden.
The children discovered how Victorian
inventions revolutionised travel in London
through role play and gallery investigation.
They also participated in creative activities and
an exciting workshop where they were able to
pretend to be drivers of different modes of
transport. Angelika said: “It was the best trip I
have ever been on and I would definitely visit
again!”
Mathematician of the Week
We now have a Mathematician of the Week
award thanks to Leelou in Tulip class's
response to last week's question of the
week. She said 'If maths is more important then why do we
not have a mathematician of the week but we have a writer
of the week?' So now her response has led to a
mathematician of the week!
Well done to Joe in Daffodils Class who is our first
Mathematician of the Week.
