On Thursday 14th November 2024, Year 4 will be visiting the Tower of London. Children should arrive at school at normal time as we will depart at 9:15am and will be travelling by tube. Children need to be in full school uniform and should have their school coat and can wear their Broomfield beanies as it will be cold. Please send your child(ren) to school with hands free bag for their lunch. A packed lunch will be provided for each child by Chef Nay, but please ensure the children have a full water bottle.

On Friday 15th November 2024, Year 3 will be visiting the British Museum, where they will have access to the Egyptian galleries to bring our school learning to life. The children will be travelling by coach and will be leaving at approximately 8.45am so the children need to be at school promptly at 8.30am so we can leave on time. Children need to be in full school uniform with hats and blazers, as this helps us to recognise them if it is busy. Please send your child(ren) to school with the red swimming bag for their lunch as it is lighter to carry. The children will be able to leave their bags in a cloakroom once we have arrived. A packed lunch will be provided for each child by Chef Nay, but please ensure the children have a full water bottle. The children should be back in time for pick-up at 3.30pm, however we will contact all parents to let you know if we have any delays.

A dress rehearsal will be held on Wednesday, 27th November. On this day, children should come to school dressed in their costumes (please ensure all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name).

Pre-Kindergarten enjoyed their autumn trip to Kew Gardens this week. They learnt about the changes we see in autumn, going on an autumn colour hunt and making autumn bracelets with natural materials. We also enjoyed snack and story time in the beautiful surroundings of the gardens. Thank you to all the parents that came along with us!
The annual Parent vs. Children netball and football matches were held on Wednesday. The netball match at Westerly Ware saw a thrilling victory for the young netballers. Despite a valiant effort from the parents, the children showcased exceptional skill, teamwork, and determination, securing a well-deserved win.
Over at Old Deer Park, the football match proved to be a hard-fought battle. The parents, fueled by experience and determination, emerged victorious. While the children put up a strong fight, the parents’ superior tactics and physicality ultimately proved decisive.
Both events were a resounding success, filled with laughter, friendly rivalry, and a strong sense of community. It was a fantastic opportunity for parents and children to bond, exercise, and create lasting memories. Congratulations to all who participated!
In Eco Club this week, the children completed their homemade bug hotels and also built and decorated some store-bought wooden ones. Let’s see which ones the bugs prefer! Some were taken home, but a few are now nestled in the bushes around the pond.
Pre-Kindergarten had a wonderful time learning about the festival of Diwali last week. The children shared photos of their celebrations at home and enjoyed a story about Diwali traditions.

On Tuesday last week, children from Years 2 - 6 gathered at St. Anne’s Church to kick off the festive season with our annual Christmas Carol Service. Each year group contributed beautifully, and we felt immense pride listening to their lovely singing and instrument playing. An extra ‘well done’ to Year 6 who read the nine lessons brilliantly, telling us the story of the birth of Jesus. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this wonderful occasion.
