Week 26

Dear Parent/ Carer,

At Kilmorie this week, our assembly theme was 'Relationships' and Monday's assembly focussed on friendship. The children shared their views on the importance of friendship and discussed quotes about aspects of friendship. In Celebration assembly, as well as rewarding fantastic learning, the winners of the last term's talent competition were presented with prizes.

This week saw the start of the after school clubs for the term. There is a good range of clubs for all year groups from Reception upwards. The lunch time art club is particularly successful and the children really enjoy using the art studio. This week they started a project using papier mache.

There have been several parent tours this week both for the nursery and reception. Visiting parents were surprised by the space both inside and out.

Friends of Kilmorie held an extraordinary meeting this week. Pete Bulley and Clare Tooth stepped down from their roles as Chair and Treasurer after many years great service. After electing new committee members( Jessica  Ormerod and Jane Toussaint) future fund raising events were discussed. On Friday parents held a cake sake in aid of the 'Save Lewisham Hospital ' campaign. 

On Wednesday auditions took place for the end of year production Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Members of the choir spent the day, in small groups, trying out for parts. All parts are now cast and the rehearsals will be underway very soon.

On Friday Year 2 visited went to the Horniman Museum to learn more about the Rainforest .  They visited the Amazon Adventure exhibition as well as having a talk and hands-on session about the people and animals.     

At Fairlawn, we welcomed our new Head of School in our whole school assembly on Monday morning.  Our focus this week was 'Keep Trying.' Ms Ryans spoke about St George's Day and told the story of St George.  We introduced our 'Top Table' at lunch time for all the Stars of the Week.  Our children have been telling us how our School Meals are improving at lunch time.  We held Singing Assemblies on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Year 1R and 1N visited the Devonshire Road Nature Reserve as part of their Literacy and Drama Week, based around the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff.  On Friday our Year 5 classes had a visit from The London Fire Brigade on how to stay safe.  Indeed, the whole school had a visit from the Fire Brigade as the Fire Alarm went off.  We celebrated our KS1 and KS2 'Stars of the Week' at the Assembly on Friday.  Our stars have all had their photos taken and these will be displayed on our Stars of the Week board.

At Haseltine this week, 3W went to Horniman Museum on Monday and 3M went on Tuesday.  Our Year 5 pupils and parents went to Sedgehill on Tuesday morning to exhibit the pottery they made last term.  Year 4 investigated Ravensbourne River on Thursday and 2C shared their amazing learning in their class assembly on Friday.

A busy week for us all, filled with powerful learning and memorable learning experiences.

Have a great weekend,
