Kilmorie have missed Y6 this week. They have been away on School Journey to Wrotham. The week passed by smoothly and lots of fun was had by all. We look forward to seeing and hearing all about it at Leavers Assembly which in past years has always been a highly amusing and entertaining highlight of the school year. In school the week began with an Assembly about kindness and a reminder from Emma that what we reap we sow. Also on Monday, we proudly showed new parents around the school as parents are busy deciding on Primary Schools for Reception children. Not all of our Year 6 went away on School Journey. Those that remained behind also had an eventful week of Spanish learning with Will. They have learnt some Spanish words, looked at culture and cuisine and have done a lot of drama. The Home School Journeyers went to visit the Tate Modern on Wednesday to explore in more detail the artwork of Picasso in preparation for creating their own cubist paintings and had a Latin American themed party on Friday, including freshly made biscuits and a piñata! Also on Wednesady, it was the turn of Y3 and Dominic to show us what they had been learning by putting on a Class Assembly. This was a brilliant success! The children had all written their own scripts to re-enact the story of Krindlekrax which they are currently reading in class and performed a great dance to the Monstermash. We have interviewed for new staff this week, ready for next year, and on Wednesday evening Liz attended a Parent Voice 'Meet and Greet' session to mark the re-naming of this group, previously known as Parent Council. This group provides a forum for all parents to express their views, thoughts and concerns about school life. All are welcome.
Fairlawn
We
started our week with a wonderful Whole School Celebration Assembly at which certificates were shared and musical achievements were celebrated. On Tuesday, Year 6 pupils were invited to watch a
performance of the 'Sustainable Transport Live Concert, at the Catford
Broadway Theatre, a one hour show put on by the 'Big Green Machine Theatre
Company' regarding the enviornment and how to be greener! On Wednesday, four Year 6 pupils were chosen to represent
Fairlawn in the Primary Maths Challenge at Dunraven School. They
competed against other gifted mathematicians from across the Lewisham
borough. They worked incredibly hard as a team and did very, very well at the event. Well done to them all. RH and 5E had an arrival of caterpillar larvae on
Thursday. They children will be closely observing the caterpillars as they go
through their metamorphosis. Year 2 classes welcomed the arrival of their chicken's eggs. The eggs are
currently warm and cosy in the incubators, where they will stay for the
next three weeks while we await their hatching! Year 6 are busy rehearsing for their final production... We look forward to seeing the end result. On Friday we held our Class Reps meeting, which was very useful and construtive. It was nice to see so many parents... and speaks, once again, of the great support, the great spirit and the great community that we enjoy at Fairlawn. We ended our week with a Key Stage 2 sharing assembly. Certificates and Stars of the Week were shared.
Haseltine
We started the week at Haseltine with our affirmation 'I will treat
everyone fairly.' The children showed a good understanding and concluded
that treating people fairly doesn't always mean treating everyone the
same. 3W had a trip to the Maritime Museum on Monday as part of their topic on the Titanic and they enjoyed every second of it. Year 6 went to the Broadway Theatre on Tuesday to see The Big Green Machine. They learned a lot about looking after our planet. Ms Brumby led yet another Parent Tour on Tuesday as Hasletine becomes a popular school of choice amongst parents. There was a great deal of positive feedback, especially about how friendly our children are. Friday was a very exciting day at Haseltine. Courtney and Kevin from 3W reported
something strange in the top hall to Ms. Brumby. An emergency assembly
was then called where we found a portal to another universe - just in
time the gatekeeper arrived to help us. In the corner of the Hall we
found a PUP - a parallel universe person - who was very scared and could
hardly walk. The children asked her a few question and found out that we
needed to spend the day writing/drawing/acting/singing and generally
being creative to help identify the PUP's parallel universe. The children
had a fantastic day and came back together at the end of the day to
share everything they'd done. They were so amazing that the PUP returned
to her universe through the portal. What clever, creative children they
are at Haseltine!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mark Wilson
Executive Head teacher
