Week beginning 3rd February 2020

We start this week’s bulletin with a big thank you to Mrs Duckett, our History Co-Ordinator who organised a fantastic history week for our children. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about their local area and interesting Croydon buildings. If you would like to see some of the work they have produced, a small exhibition will be open to parents and carers in the school hall between 2:40 and 3:00 on Tuesday afternoon. We will be using the car park fire doors for an entrance and exit and pick up will be the normal place and normal time for your child. We would love to see some of you there.

Our focus next week is largely on Internet safety as we celebrate Safer Internet Day in school (Wed 5th). All children will participate in computing workshops and assemblies to help them improve their awareness of how to be safe on line either this week or next. There will also be a parent workshop after school on online safety taking place on Monday and Tuesday. Spaces are limited so please call the office to check availability and make a booking if there is still space.

It is also children’s mental health week and we will be talking to the children about ways they can keep their minds healthy and the importance of talking to someone if they have a worry or a concern. On Thursday, we wish good luck to the children participating in the swimming gala. We are sure they will represent our school brilliantly. Children will meet at 8:30am in the foyer of Purley Pools. Children are expected to return to school for the afternoon session. Due to this annual event, there will be no swimming for children in Year One this week.

On Friday 7th we wish our netball team the best of luck as they play against Margaret Roper (at home).

Have a great weekend.
