Perryfields Infant School

We hope you have a wonderful Summer Holiday!

Thank you to our pupils, their families and our staff for another fantastic academic year.

We look forward to seeing familiar faces return and welcoming new ones in September. In the meantime, keep an eye on our page for some summer holiday tips.

Last term, the whole school went to the Foundation UK Chatham Green site as part of our ‘Wonderful World’ topic learning.

Our pupils had a wonderful time engaging with nature and discovering six unique learning areas:
🐜Bug Hunting
🐝Bee Buzz
🪵 Den Building
🌳 Nature Walk
🌱 All About Plants
🦢 Pond Dipping

Do you have any plans to explore nature during the summer holidays? Let us know below!

Our World-Cup themed Sponsored Walk kicks off on 26 June. ⚽

As part of our fundraiser for outdoor play equipment, we are inviting you to participate in a sponsored walk, inspired by the FIFA World Cup! 🏆

We are hoping for goal-den weather and un-ball-ievable sunshine so pupils should come in a football kit or comfortable sports clothes.

Make sure to bring a water bottle and a hat to stay cool! 🕶️

Can you believe it’s already been a month since our Art Day? 😲

It feels like just yesterday that our pupils put on their aprons, picked up their paintbrushes and created some fabulous artwork for the event, inspired by Henry Rousseau. 🎨

Look at our pupils’ masterpieces!

Thank you to our amazing Friends of Infant Perryfields School (FIPS) team for all of your support with fundraising! 🤝

This term, FIPS has raised a total of £962.64 from our Mother’s Day gifts, Easter Raffle and Disco, which will go towards buying new play equipment for our pupils to enjoy.

We want to also thank all our parents and carers for your generous donations on Red Nose Day for Comic Relief. We raised £99 for charity, and your children had lots of fun wearing their Red Noses! 🔴

Get your child’s colouring pencils and paintbrushes ready: our Art Day is happening on Wednesday 8 May! ✏️ 🎨

What an outstanding result for our pupils at the Year 2 Tag Rugby Competition!

Both of our teams shone during their matches, securing 1st and 2nd place against 11 other schools. 🥇 🥈

We are so proud of their teamwork and polite behaviour - well done!

Special thanks to Mr Bowen, Mrs Shaikhly, and to our wonderful parents and carers for their enthusiastic support on the day.

Did you know we recently had a visit from international storyteller, Mike Dodsworth - Storyteller for World Book Day? 📖

Mike performed a range of traditional stories for our pupils, who enjoyed seeing classic tales brought to life before their eyes. It was so lovely to see them bond over their shared love of reading and leave the session excited to read even more books!

A big thank you! 🌳

We would like to give a special thanks to a parent from Ruby Class for entering us into the Longacres giveaway! We are excited to share that we won the Longacre planting competition and have been gifted planters, compost, and bulbs to grow some lovely plants!

The children are beyond excited to get digging! 🌻
