Haseltine
Another great week at Haseltine. Our community police officer visited the nursery children on Monday- they were very excited and learned a lot about the job.
Tuesday was a big day for year 2 as they spent the day at the seaside- what lovely weather they had. Year 5 were also out that day at the French Institute to watch a French film (their French is very good). 3M spent the day on a river cruise- how lucky the children are at Haseltine. Most exciting of all on Tuesday we opened our brand new library- nearly all our children now have their library card which can be used in any library in Lewisham and it gets them into swimming free. Many children came back the next day having read their books already. Fantastic.
On Wednesday the nursery children went to the allotments to see how we grow things and several children from Key Stage 2 went to a farm to pick strawberries- they have now used them to make jam for the breakfast club. Pupil Parliament met with Mr Wilson and Miss Brumby to talk about this years successes and ways forward for next year whilst eating pizza and garlic bread!
The sun shone on Thursday for our postponed sports day. How fantastic it was- we are especially proud of our key stage 2 children who organised their own time when selecting events to take part in. A great day was had by all.
The fun didn't stop on Friday: year 6 went to the Laban to take part in a 'Moving on Up' project; meeting children from other schools who are going to the same secondary school as them whilst doing various activities. 4JB did a fabulous performance for their class assembly- the parents were very proud.
A busy week but a very happy one at Haseltine.
Fairlawn
We began our eggciting...... week off with the hatching of our first
chick, then a further 10 more hatched across our Year 2 classes! The
children will continue to await the last few arrivals with eagerness and
excitement.
On Monday we had an invasion of Year 1 pirates. The
children and staff spent the day dressed as pirates as part of
their 'Seaside' topic. They looked wonderful and a fantastic fun time
was had by everyone.
Our Year 6 classes have been busy practicing extremely
hard for the production of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' I'm sure
the final result next Wednesday 17th July will be of theatrialcal
standards.
Wednesday all the children got to meet with their new
class teacher for September. It was a very positive day and enjoyed by
all.
Wednesday our Wind Band children preformed for
the whole school in assembly. They played fantastically. Parents, staff
and children watched with pride and admiration.
On Friday Fairlawn was one of six local schools that
had the opportunity to spend the day at the Laban Centre in Deptford.
The aim of the day was to provide a fun way for pupils to meet other
children who are going to the same secondary school as them, and to help
with the transition. They experienced a dance workshop, a music
workshop, and circus skills. A fun time was had by everyone.
We ended our week with Class RH's assembly. They brought the
house down with their fantastic dancing and acting skills. A real
pleasure to watch.
Kilmorie
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was the highlight of the week at
Kilmorie: What a great production! Children in both Key stages enjoyed
watching the dress rehearsals on Tuesday and Wednesday, when it was
evident that this was going to be our best show yet. Daisy and her team
of staff and parent helpers have worked incredibly hard developing the
children's acting, vocal skills and of course, musicality. The stage
set was all created by children in art club and children were also the
'back stage crew', so the whole show was a real collaboration between
several groups working together. The cast and crew were really
professional, we have some real talent in our school, it was a pleasure
to watch, No doubt we will spot some of these faces on bigger stages one
day!
Throughout the week we have welcomed our new reception parents and children as they come to meet their new teachers and find out amount life at Kilmorie, and our current 'Bears' class took a trip to Woodlands Farm on Monday, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
On Thursday it was the turn of Y5 and Y2 to take a trip out of school; they went to Hyde park to see The Golden Cowpat and Superhero Snail Boy – which are both co-produced by Greenwich theatre and will play at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Once again, it is great to see so many of our classes making the most of all that London has to offer.
