I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of Summer term 1. A busy final week of term – Y1&2 performed with gusto in their performance this week; Y3, 4 & Cezanne class delivered a brilliant violin recital, showing great progress this year; clubs have continued, Y6 Girls’ footballers had a great match with Michael Faraday; swimming lessons continue to be enjoyed by all; Groundworks delivered Mental Health/Wellbeing assemblies to Y5&6; Reception had a super trip to the Horniman museum; Y6 engaged with ‘Fix-a-Bike’ workshops in school; Y5 attended a citizenship trip with their ‘Mini-Police’ project yesterday and Nursery - Y2 children have enjoyed a performance delivered by Booster Cushion theatre.
Our Collective Worship theme has continued to be based around the lead up to Pentecost, The Holy Spirit, and events following Easter.
