FrithManor

Festive gathering today in Little Acorns…singing, dancing and lots of happy faces.

We are very proud of Elizabeth, who was presented with her trophy by the Mayor of Sutton after winning the Junior Recital Cup at the 90th Sutton Music Festival.

The children were busy in Cosy Club this lunchtime, making paper chains to decorate the school (and themselves!)

Our Christmas doors are looking amazing!

Huge thank you to everyone who donated their unwanted foreign currency to Mary's Meals. Bob, from the charity, came to collect your donations today and was very impressed with the amount we collected.

Fuchsia class started off our class assemblies with a performance based on their learning in science lessons. Great acting and wonderful singing, perfectly accompanied by Elizabeth on piano. Well done, Fuchsia class!

The NFL kindly sent Frith Manor 3 boxes full of Tennessee Titans flags to distribute to pupils in order to further embed their links to both the NFL, NFL UK and also the Tennessee Titans. Key Stage Two had great fun waving their flags at break time and Key Stage 1 have already been enjoying their flags after receiving them last week. Frith Manor is now very much a Tennessee Titans School!

Anti-Bullying Week. Following class discussions, Amber class have introduced a kindness jar. A child can take a card out of the jar and work on a little act of kindness in the day. Amber class are loving this!

Happy Diwali! Show and Tell in Olive class.

2 minutes’ silence at 11.00am today to remember all those people around the world affected by war.

Thank you to everyone who entered our competition to design a drawing for the Friends of Victoria Park new tree trail. We will be deciding on the winners artwork very soon!

Congratulations to Elizabeth, year 6! Last Friday night, she played in the Baroque class for 17 years & under at the Kingston Festival of Performing Arts and she won 1st prize!

Please keep on sending in your unwanted foreign currency (or UK notes and coins which are no longer legal tender) so our House Captains can donate it to Mary’s Meals charity. Last day to bring donations is Friday 10th November.

Reception children, parents and grandparents took part in a clay-a-thon this morning and created these collaborative sculptures in response to nature and the senses.

Our school councillors are all dressed up for Halloween and ready for their visit to Aarandale care home.

Our first “solo spot” to kick off this morning’s assembly, with a year 6 pupil playing “Weeping Willow” on violin. A lovely start to this half term.

Fresh from conquering America, The Barricade Boys brought the party back to West End home on Tuesday 17 October. Lizzie, Melissa, Panah and Denise from Sunshine class had an opportunity to join this exciting musical theatre group on stage at Adelphi Theatre through their Stage Coach school. Amazing 🤩

Frith Manor children have pulled out all the stops for Dress as an Artist day. See how amazing they look!

We can't wait to see the children in their costumes for our 'Dress as an Artist Day' tomorrow.
Here is a little inspiration from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Yoko Ono, Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dali, Yayoi Kusama, Andy Warhol, Ai Weiwei and beyond...but there are so many that you can chose from, even the mysterious Bansky! Have fun.
