Congratulations to our Y2 pupils Fianna, Neveah-Jade, Ralphie, Cillian, Darcie, Jaxon, Harry and Aurora who have completed their Peer Listener programme with Mrs Rostron. Mrs Rostron said the following: We are incredibly proud of a group of our Year 2 children who have recently completed our Peer Listener Programme! During this time, they have been learning how to listen carefully, show kindness and support their friends when they need someone to talk to. They have taken part with great enthusiasm and have shown fantastic teamwork, and care for others. It has been wonderful to see their confidence grow, and they should all feel very proud of their achievements. They are brilliant examples of pupils who demonstrate our CHESWICK Way values 🌟

What a fantastic afternoon we have had with Mitch Johnson, celebrating the release of his latest book Strike ⚽️ It was the perfect way to kickstart our Men’s World Cup celebrations!
Mitch talked to our Y3-6 pupils about Strike and the inspiration behind it. He taught us to check our labels and see where our clothes are made too then challenged some of our children to a football boots competition. We also learnt lots of fascinating facts about Wembley stadium 🏟️

If you didn’t manage to order a copy of Kick or Strike before Mitch’s visit, we have a small number of signed copies of Strike left as well as plenty of unsigned copies available until Friday. Please get in touch with our office to order a copy 📚
Thanks again Warwick Books for supporting us with books for this brilliant event and thanks Usborne for letting us have Mitch this afternoon.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar story has provided our Nursery children with plenty of creative opportunities recently. The children made some fantastic playdough caterpillars, and the fruit and vegetable kebabs were delicious, which also developed their fine motor skills using a knife. Well done everyone 🐛📖

We are really excited that Mitch Johnson will be visiting Cheswick Green on Tuesday to celebrate the release of his new book, Strike. He’ll have lots of books to sign but if you missed out on ordering Kick or Strike, we have spare books available to order now via ParentPay. Thanks again to Warwick Books for supporting us and the other schools involved in Mitch’s visit ⚽️ 📚
