Week Beginning 13th July 2015
Sun 12 Jul 2015I really cannot believe it is the last week of term already, time has really flown by this term.
Firstly our Jump Rope for Heart on Friday was an enormous success, many thanks to Mr Blundell for organising this. Huge thanks to the Year 5 and Year 6 children who led the activities and ensured the children had a great time. If the children could bring all the money in by Wednesday next week, that would be greatly appreciated.
Also here is some advanced notice of Kenley fun day, on 26th July, which is a local community day that is held every other year on Kenley Common. The event has been running for 8 years and is open to everyone from the Kenley, Whtyeleafe, Purley, Caterham areas. It is a non-profit making group and nearly all activities on the day are free (with an optional donation bucket) so as to make it as inclusive as possible, people being encouraged to bring a picnic. It is a very uncommercial event, so no pitches are sold. Previous years attendances have been up to 3,500+ so it has grown to be a very popular local event. Should you wish for any further information please see the Facebook link below for some of the details.

Fri 03 Jul 2015Firstly thank you and huge congratulations to our dedicated PTA for organising such a wonderful summer fair last Saturday. We are delighted that the weather stayed sunny for us all and it was lovely to see such an amazing range of stalls and activities for the children to join in with. Thank you to our amazing PTA team for organising this and to parents and staff that helped out on the day.
Congratulations to the children from The Hayes who represented Croydon in the London Youth Games, they all did extremely well. The tennis team came third overall, out of all London Boroughs and we are all immensely proud of their amazing achievement. Well done to Sebastian Barrionuevo, Onome Ako, Jake Bennett, Eloise Cooper and Luca Ellul. Ross Sinclair also came third overall in the swimming relay and Omari Giraud-Hutchinson’s team represented football. Well done to you all; it was a tremendous achievement to even be selected for this event. Also thank you to Peter Cooper for coaching the tennis team and helping on the day - it was greatly appreciated. Also thank you to Mrs Lee for accompanying the children and cheering them on.
Please could we remind parents that if you are interested in piano, recorder, guitar, clarinet or flute music lessons you now need to complete a form and send this directly to CSMA in order to secure a place. These are available in the carousel in the school office. This does not apply to those learning drums, violin or Suzuki violin, these forms are also on the carousel.
