Year 4 have had a creative morning making Greek vases. It was messy work, but we think they enjoyed it! We cannot wait to see how they turn out!

Today we welcomed Coach Chris from Sporting Heroes for our first Multi Skills Club for Years 1–4!

Everyone had lots of fun playing games, developing their skills and keeping active. It was a great way to get the club off to a fantastic start!

If your child would like to join the club, which runs every Thursday, please speak to the school office for more information.

Today, Anne from New Addington Library visited us to tell the children all about the Summer Reading Challenge. There are lots of exciting activities taking place in Croydon libraries over the summer holidays, and the school with the highest number of children taking part has the chance to win prizes.

Why not visit your local Croydon library over the holidays and sign up? We'd love to see as many of our children as possible getting involved!

Every year, a group of our Year 5 children has the wonderful opportunity to spend time with the ladies from St Mark's Church, Biggin Hill, learning to knit.

The sessions are about so much more than knitting. They give our children the chance to chat, laugh and build friendships across the generations, learning from the ladies' wealth of experience and kindness.

The children absolutely love these sessions and gain so much from them. A huge thank you to the fantastic ladies from St Mark's for giving their time so generously—we truly value this special partnership. 🧶❤️
