Whilst studying the book ‘Wolf Brother’ the year 6 children wrote a letter from the book’s main character to his father in the afterlife. 

The children had fun today celebrating the up coming Queen’s Jubilee. 

Dear Parents and Carers.  Our MHST (Mental Health Support Team) would like to share that the Off the Record Youth Counselling Service will be running a Support for Parents and Carers workshop to help them understand and better support their children who may be struggling with self-harm.   

We hope you are all prepared for Year Six’s bushcraft adventure next week, especially as the weather forecast is looking hopeful!

Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who joined us for the last meeting about this month’s residential trip for Year 6.

As part of their Literacy work around the text ‘Wolf Brother’ by Michelle Paver, Year 6 were visited by two cave people, Twig and Ochre, who camped on the field at Whitehorse Manor Junior School for 3 nights. 

With recent higher numbers of COVID cases across the UK the SLT of the Pegasus Academy Trust has put in place some new precautionary measures to keep us all safe as we enter the last weeks of term. 

Over the last couple of weeks, Year 6 have been studying the text ‘Varmints’ by Helen War and Marc Craste. 

The last year has taught us not to take for granted the simple joy of hearing laughter along our corridors, the pounding of feet across our playground and the sight of 30 children all in one room!

Hello to all of our Pegasus families wherever you are reading this. 

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement today (Wednesday 30th December) and the publication of the accompanying guidance it is now clear that Croydon schools, including our schools within the Pegasus Academy Trust, will not reopen on 5th January as planned. 

This year we took to the virtual universe to bring you a Christmas Junior Production. 

As we come into the Christmas season many parents may be considering buying tablets or laptops for their children which will allow them to access social media sites.
