It’s great to see the children back for the final half term of the academic year! This week has seen some super History learning in action; class photos were taken; 5 Turner and 6 Hockney began their swimming sessions for the term; Year 5 started with their Millwall ‘Joy of Movement’ sessions; Year 6 took part in Cycle Confident sessions and clubs have re-commenced which will end on Monday 6th July for the year. 4 Kahlo also attended Southwark Park Gallery to help display their recent lovely artwork with a local artist – further details in our full newsletter attached below regarding the grand opening next Monday which parents and carers are invited to!
Our Collective Worship theme for this week has seen us begin to explore our school vision of ‘Let your light shine’ and our school aims and values with the children. This week – ‘Loving to Learn!’.
In addition to our full newsletter attached below, please also see below our updated diary dates list and a reminder of the Wednesday 'Toast' session from 3.30-4.30pm.
