Fundraising

In the last month we’ve raised almost £600 for charity. In December we collected £337.25 for the West London day Centre and on Friday Year 6’s cake sale and our non-uniform contributions raised £256.22 for the Haiti Appeal.

 Thank you to everyone who contributed. 


Uniform

Just another reminder about school uniform. Some of the children seem to be getting a bit confused!

 We’re in winter uniform at the moment, so:

  • White shirts with collars (not polo type shirts)

  • Ties

  • GREY trousers (not black)

  • School sweatshirts (not cardigans or pullovers)

  • Dark shoes (not trainers)

 If there’s something you’re not sure about, ask at the reception desk or give us a call.


Story Telling Week

Storytelling week starts next Monday with an assembly from Abundance Arts, who specialise in interactive performances and African storytelling. They’ll also be running workshops in classes. Story Telling Week is part of a bigger ‘Speaking and Listening’  project we are involved with and the entire school will be learning a story together that all children and adults should be able to re-tell off by heart by the end of the week. Over the week,  children will be listening, telling, acting and writing stories in class but you can help too. Please Look out for letters and posters explaining how you can support storytelling at home or here at school by coming in to share your own stories.  We'll be showing the work we've done in assemblies and open mornings on Friday 5th and Monday 8th February. Keep checking your child’s book bag for further information!
