  • Latest Newsletter - Friday 15th March 2024

    Published 14/03/24

    We continue to be very busy - trips and learning are both fruitful and fun! Children have produced some particularly great Art work this week. 6 Brazil visited the London Transport Museum; our STEM Fair has been terrific with most children visiting and engaging with all the interesting projects on display; swimming lessons and library visits have continued and Violin and Recorder lessons continue too. Years 3&4 are preparing for their production of ‘Mary Poppins’ in the final week of term which promises to be super. Thank you for helping us to support Comic Relief today with your kind donations for our ‘wear red’ non-uniform day. Our Collective Worship theme this week continued to focus on the Old Testament and Moses – a huge well done to 5 India, 3 Norway and 1 Italy for delivering class collective worship this week! Next week we’ll begin to think about Easter in the lead up to Holy Week in the final week of term.

    Our full newsletter, Easter activity flyer, after school tennis flyer and diary dates sheet are all attached below as usual.

    Wishing you, your families, and our whole community a lovely weekend

    God bless, from the St. James’ team
