The news from our three schools this week....
Kilmorie
Rehearsals for our end of year production, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, have been in full swing this week at Kilmorie. The children (and Daisy) have been working incredibly hard, showing true dedication and commitment to the show which is already looking good! On Tuesday, Y4 visited Down House, the home of Charles Darwin, while two of the Reception classes, the tigers and lions, took a trip to Woodlands Farm. Great days out were had by both year groups and once again the children were great representatives of the school. On Wednesday the parent voice met for a coffee morning and had a chance to chat with Liz about curriculum, homework and general life at Kilmorie. Thursday the football team took part Iona Forest Hill schools tournament and our week ended with the annual F.O.K barbecue which was a wonderful community event. This year was bigger than ever with crafts, hand made items for sale, face painting, beauty treatments, photography, and the highlight - the great Kilmorie bake off! Thank you to all who came along to support and especially to those parents who have given up so much if their time to organise, bake and run stalls.
Haseltine
As always it's been an exciting week at Haseltine. We held yet another parent tour as the school continues to grow in popularity and in pupil numbers. We were delighted to receive lots of positive feedback, referring to our high standards, great teaching and good behaviour. People always comment on how eager our children are to share their learning with them. We are blessed to have such wonderful, giving, helpful children. Thursday was a busy day with Year 5 spending the day at Sedgehill to get a taste of life at a Secondary school. They all enjoyed the day and have a much better understanding of what lies ahead for them in Year 7. A big thank you to Sedgehill for hosting a brilliant day. The children in 4A performed a very interactive class assembly on Thursday morning, presenting us with different periods of time and asking the audience to choose their favourite - the Tudors won! We were particularly proud of them because they wrote the performance themselves - Well Done 4A. On Friday, we were privileged to take a delegation of teachers, staff and Governors to the TES Excellence Awards as one of only six schools nationally shortlisted for the Primary School of the Year Award. Sadly, we didn't win... but it was an honour to have been shortlisted - a lovely recognition for the staff, parents and children who work so hard.
Fairlawn
We have enjoyed a busy week at Fairlawn this week! Our Summer Fair last Saturday was a huge success. Great fun was had by all, and the weather was very kind to us! We
started our week off by saying 'Bon Voyage' to Year 6 children who went on to have a fantastic fun-filled week in France. We look
forward to hearing about all their exciting experiences on Monday. Year 6 Home School Journey have also been having just
as much fun, with trips to Chessington World of Adventures,
Ice Skating, Bowling and lots more. Our Year 4's
visited The Tate Modern Gallery on Monday. They had a wonderful
opportunity to use an unusual medium to inspire their numeracy work on
ratio. They concentrated on the work of the artist Mark Rothko, and had a
thoroughly fantastic time. On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of meeting our new
Reception children who will be joining us in September. They enjoyed a
'Play and Meet' session with their new class teacher and class friends.
On Thursday, four Year 4 children represented Lewisham at
the London Youth Games at Crystal Palace. They competed against thirty three
other London Borough teams. They came third in their group and
progressed to the 'plate' competition, where they beat Ealing 3-1 and were
then defeated 3-1 by Bexley. The four children were had a wonderful time and showed
great sportsmanship throughout. On Friday, 2C took advantage of the beautiful sunshine and
had a picnic and games in Horniman Park as a special 'marble jar'
treat. They were joined by parents and had a wonderful afternoon. RF sang and preformed beautifully on Friday at their Assembly. Parents and staff were extremely proud. We said goodbye and thanks to our three Year 10 students from St Dunstan's College and from Sydenham Girls who were with us all week on work experience. We
are sure they have enjoyed their time with us, and wish them the very
best of luck for their futures.
Have a great weekend,
Mark Wilson
Executive Head teacher
