Primary Newsletter – Thursday 23rd November 2017 POWER HOUR We are very lucky to have a First-Aid at Work and Paediatric first-aid assessor working in our school and he takes groups of children within our weekly ‘Power Hour’ to complete a ‘Mini Medics’ programme. The children are really enjoying these sessions and are learning important life skills which teach them all about what to do in an emergency. By the end of each course, the children would have covered CPR, the recovery position, treating bleeding, shock, broken bones and small burns. LANTERN PARADE On Monday this week, Year 3 had visitors from ‘Arty Party’ company in school to make some really special lanterns with them. On Wednesday this week, the Year 3 children were involved in this year’s Lantern Parade and Christmas Light’s switch on in Greenwich town centre. The procession met at the Old Royal Naval College and travelled around Greenwich town centre, finishing with the switching on of the Christmas lights by characters from this year’s Greenwich Theatre pantomime, Cinderella. The children were real ambassadors for our school in they way they behaved, and this was commented on by several people at the event. They also got the opportunity to meet the Mayor! Well done Year 3! INSET Just a reminder that tomorrow (24th November), there will be an INSET day and the school will be closed.
