CHILDREN IN NEED
Cake Sale
The children in Year 5 will be selling cakes tomorrow for Children in Need. If your child would like to purchase one please send them into school with 20p or 50p. Thank you.
Sleepover
Children participating in the Children in Need Sleepover on Friday 19th November should arrive at school from 7pm at the Nursery gate. Please ensure that your child is collected by 8 am on Saturday morning—20.11.10.
As in previous years we will be working hard to raise money for the Children in Need Appeal.
Lunch Boxes
Please make sure that all lunch boxes are clearly marked with your child’s name and class as lots of them are very similar and this causes much confusion if they are without a name.
School Dinner Menu
Just to inform you that there will be a slight adjustment to the school lunch menu. It will affect Week 2 roast chicken meal. We will now be serving a chicken drumstick as opposed to chicken breast meat on this day.
Year 2 Science Museum Trips
Our Year 2 classes both had a wonderful time when they went to the Science Museum this week. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves including the adventure of going by train!
Redbridge Schools Swimming Gala
We wish all the swim team good luck today as they compete in the annual Redbridge Schools Swimming Gala. We will update you next week about how they get on.
Christmas Dinner Day—9th December
Your child should have brought home a letter yesterday about Christmas lunch. We will need to have all replies back by Friday 26th November as the cook needs to pre-order the food. Without a reply by this date your child will have to have a packed lunch or else go home for lunch on 9th. Thank you.
Raffle Tickets
Please promote our school raffle this year. The PAWS group have managed to gather some really great prizes. Please support our school.
School Development
We are working on the Nursery garden at the moment and making much needed improvements so that we can link with the new Reception classes. We are having additional “soft play” laid and have created extra play areas by removing the over-grown shrubs. The Nursery and Reception teams are working closely together to improve the outdoor play area and have got lots of exciting ideals for future developments.
Reminder
Please remember that the school day ends at 3.30pm and the children should be collected promptly at 3.30. An increasing number of children are being collected much later than 3.30pm which means that the office staff also have to work late. The school does have a Late Collection Charge Policy and this will be implemented if the same children are collected late on more than 2 occasions.

Maria Sohail’s Culture Poem:
The Cultures in our World,
As different as they are,
From every corner of the earth,
They come from near and far.
Given by our fore-fathers,
From birth in the womb,
Stays with us forever,
Until death in the tomb.
It is not religion at all,
Nor is it fact,
Our traditions and our ways,
Is what keeps us intact.
We all have our cultures,
That we should remember,
Londoner’s yes we are,
Each a significant member.
Pakistan Appeal Thank you to everyone who participated in fundraising. We will update you soon with the grand total raised which will go directly to support schemes in Pakistan.
Year 3 Trip Last Friday our children in Year 3 visited the William Morris gallery in Walthamstow. They all had a good time looking around the exhibits although the weather did put a slight dampener on the day as it prevented some of the outdoor activities.
Indoor Athletics Competition Well done to all the children who took part in the athletics competition at Caterham yesterday. We did really well finishing first in both the mixed single lap race and the girls relay race. Photographs are on the PE page of the school website.
