1. Primary Newsletter – Friday 13th October 2017
POWER HOUR
Every Monday afternoon in Primary, we collapse our usual
timetable and run ‘Power Hour’ for all classes in years 2 – 6.
Children have been split into smaller groups and they take part
in enrichment activities that they may not get the
opportunity to be involved in during a typical week at school.
Examples of what the children have been doing are cooking,
orienteering, yoga, ‘Horrible Histories’, portrait workshops and
much more.
Class 5E have been working on a charity project in Power Hour,
where they have been planning and organising a fundraising
charity event. On Monday 16th October at 2.15pm, class 5E will
be hosting an Afternoon Tea for their family and friends. It will
be held in the primary hall and the children would really
welcome as much support as possible for our school charity,
Lewisham Hospital Children’s Ward.
HARVEST FESTIVAL.
We are holding a whole Academy Harvest Festival celebration week next week. We are kindly asking families to bring to school non perishable food items. Student representatives and members of staff will take all donations on Friday 20th October to Lewisham food bank via our school minibuses. Please direct donations to your child’s class teacher. We appreciate your generosity and support. .
PARENTS’ EVENINGS
We are holding Parents’ Evenings next week on
Tuesday and Wednesday from 3.45pm – 6.30pm.
These will be held in classrooms and will be a good
opportunity for you to look through your child’s
books and discuss their progress with their
class teacher. If you have not already returned your
form requesting a specific time slot, please do so as
soon as possible to ensure you get an opportunity to
attend. We kindly ask you to arrive no earlier than 5
minutes before your appointment time to avoid
unnecessary congestion in corridors. If children
accompany you to the appointment, please can we
ask that they remain in school uniform.
Please note that class 4E will be having their Parents’ Evenings on Thursday 2nd and Friday 3rd November.
