Notes/Reminders

Sports Day

We are looking forward to sharing our children's sporting achievements with all of you on Sports Day on Friday 9^th June.

Children will compete in their house colours and every child will have the opportunity to shine as they each participate in both novelty and running races through the morning.  Parents / grandparents / godparents and friends are warmly invited to join us and enjoy the fun!

Timings will be roughly the same as last year:

9am - approx 10:30am - Key Stage 2 Sports Day

10:45am - approx 12 noon - Reception and Key Stage 1 Sports Day

After Sports Day, children will return to their classrooms for afternoon register and packed lunches can be provided by the school kitchen for those who would like them.  Collection will be from the classroom doors like at the end of the day.

As usual, we will operate a soft release on Sports Day afternoon, so children will be free to go once Sports Day has completely finished; in previous years this has been warmly welcomed by families as an opportunity either to picnic in the park, to have an afternoon out or to make an early getaway for a weekend trip!  Staff will be in school as usual through the afternoon and any children who remain in school will be looked after until the end of the day.

Year 5 residential to High Ashurst

This week year 5 enjoyed their 2 night stay at High Ashurst, an outdoor education centre , located in near Box Hill. They participated in a variety of activities, ranging from the exhilaration of High Ropes (and the infamous leap of faith) to den building and teamwork games.  Blessed with warm, dry weather many of the year 5's experienced their first nights under canvas and the learning that results from sharing time with their friends, in the outdoors.  Many of the children surprised themselves and rose to the many challenges they were faced with, experiencing the satisfaction of climbing to the top of the climbing wall, or developing their leadership skills.  

'At first I was nervous about the rock climbing, but conquering that fear I was proud of myself'

'On the High Ropes, I thought I couldn't do it, but I surprised myself by doing amazing'.

Well done all! For more photos see below.

Food Diversity afternoon

Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success.  Thank you to every single parent who went to so much trouble and took so much time to represent their countries in food.  Thank you too, to the parents and children who came along to celebrate the richness and diversity within our school community.  We had wonderful table displays and truly amazing food.  We had food from every continent, from Australia, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and Asia.  The food was so good that many parents commented that their children had tasted food they never would have tasted otherwise.  A real compliment!

Quad Kids Surrey

On Friday 19th May Melodie And Luma from Yr6 participated in a trial for a Quad Kids Surrey Team. The girls competed with pupils from seven other local schools.  The standards were extremely high and all pupils performed to their best ability. Well done to Luma who will be invited to represent Surrey at the final in June at Guildford Spectrum.

PE kits and Earrings

Over the half-term holiday, please take the time to review your child's school PE kit.  Trainers (in the right size!), school logo PE navy T-shirt and red PE shorts are all part of the compulsory uniform and should be in school at all times.  Cycling shorts (black / navy) may be worn under summer dresses / skirts but are not PE kit.

Please remember that the first week of the SUMMER holidays is the best time to get ears pierced if that's what you'd like to do - this avoids the need to miss 6 weeks of PE in school.  Children with pierced ears should be able to remove their earrings independently for school PE.  Thank you!

School Dinners

Please remember to book school dinners on Scopay at least 1 day in advance or ring the school office before 9am if you have left it too late to book/cancel online for that day.

Allergies

If your child has an allergy please make sure the school office is informed. Please check the menu carefully before booking lunch for your child.
