Year 5 Christmas performance

The children have been creating Christmas cards that have been sent to residents of local care homes and the Salvation Army.

Thank you so much to all our families who have donated to the Food Bank Treat Bag project over the last four weeks. You have made such a difference to local families who are finding this festive period hard.

Next week at school will be full of Christmas celebrations. Each Year group will have a Christmas party day and and a Christmas Performance day.

Monday 14th December - Year 3 party day and Year 6 performance day.
Tuesday 15th December - Year 4 party day and Year 5 performance day.
Wednesday 16th December - Year 5 party day and Year 4 performance day.
Thursday 17th December - Year 6 party day and Year 3 performance day.

Please remember there will be no hot school meals for each year group on their party day. More details are on the related emails.

Children of Lyndhurst have been busy making wooden decorations based on Van Gogh’s Starry Night to help spread Christmas cheer across our whole Lyndhurst community. We hope you like them.

Reminder: It is Christmas Jumper Day this Friday. Children are invited to come to school in non uniform and/or festive jumpers for a charity donation of £1.

Thank you again to all the families who donated Treat Bags to the Foodbank this morning. Next Tuesday is our final collection day.

Reminder: If your child wants to give Christmas cards to their school friends, we will collect them on Thursday 10th and Friday 11th December. Cards will go into a container in classroom bubbles and then be stored for 72 hours and sorted by staff wearing gloves and face coverings before being distributed. Please ensure that envelopes are clearly labelled with the child’s name and class to assist us with this.

Thank you again for all the Treat Bags donated today for the Foodbank. We will continue to collect these every Tuesday morning until the end of term.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... at Lyndhurst Juniors. Thanks to OJ Painting and decorating, Bibble & Bubble Baby Yoga and Baby Massage and the Lyndhurst Team for sponsoring our Christmas trees and lights.

A massive thank you from the Friends of CPI&LJS PTA for all your contributions to the Bags 2 Schools appeal today.

Please can all Christmas Lunch orders be returned to school by Friday 27th. Thank you for your support.

Please can all Nasal Flu vaccination forms be returned to school by Friday 27th so they can be ready for the school nurse next week. Thank you for your support.

Thank you to all the generous families who donated Christmas Treat bags or goodies to go to the Foodbank this morning. We will be collecting every Tuesday morning at drop off time between now and the end of term.

Welcome to Lyndhurst Junior School

Usually we would host an open event during the Autumn Term for Year 2 children and their families to introduce you all to Lyndhurst Junior School. Sadly, we are not able to do this due to the COVID-19 guidance.
This link will take you to a short video to give you a flavour of what belonging to the Lyndhurst Family is like: https://youtu.be/-1keJtwA2Ew

Welcome to Lyndhurst Junior School

College Park and Lyndhurst Junior Schools are working together to make Christmas treats for the children of the families who use the Foodbank. Here is an example from one of Year 5 pupils.

Lyndhurst Junior School children create poppy wave to commemorate Armistice Day DETERMINED not to be beaten by Covid restrictions a local primary school decided to take its Armistice Day commemoration online.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Summer Reading Challenge. We won a beanbag for the school library! We can't wait to use it once the restrictions around soft furnishings in school are lifted.

Thank you to our colleagues from the Portsmouth Music Hub for joining us today.

Lovely to hear from so many schools across the country performing Poppies and Faded Ribbons as part of the commemorative events.
A privilege to be invited to Lynhurst Junior school’s online performance today and to see their beautiful poppy wave

At at time when we are separated from many we love, the Lyndhurst Family came together to create a new poppy wave as a symbol of remembrance, togetherness and hope. Each member of our school made a poppy and it is lovely to see them united for us and our community to enjoy.

Year 3 had a fantastic day creating prehistoric Cave Art using crushed berries, avocados and mud!

Diary date: College Park and Lyndhurst Junior Schools are having a Be Bright, Be Seen non-uniform day on Thursday 5th November. All donations will go to the 'Friends of CPLJS' who are raising funds for school resources.

It has come to our attention there is a TikTok site with our school logo on it. It is not related to our school in any way. Thank you to the concerned Year 6 children who reported this to us. The age requirement for signing up to TikTok is 13.

Thank you to all our families for the contributions towards the food bank.

Diary date: on Tuesday 1st December the School Nursing Team will be in school to give all the children their nasal flu vaccinations. More information and consent forms will be sent out 10 days beforehand. With the current situation, it is really important we have maximum take-up to protect your children.

Stockholm are learning so much history whilst having fun in the fresh air and sunshine. This week has been a super way to start Year 3's Prehistoric Britain work. Thank you to the staff at Butser and to the children for being such magnificent ambassadors for LJS.

Copenhagen class were Stone Age hunter gatherers today. Some of us even got to feed the goats. The wall made from clunch is getting really tall after 3 visits from LJS.

Today was Helsinki class' turn to visit Butser. They had a lovely day looking around the Neolithic house, meeting the animals and using flint tools to carve chalk.

Year 3, Oslo class are having a fantastic day learning about the lives of Stone Age and Iron Age people. Making a wall out of clunch was mucky but lots of fun!
