News Whitehorse Manor – Brigstock Site

As you are hopefully aware, the deadline for applying for a secondary school for your child to attend in September 2023 is fast approaching. 

Last week, Year 3 were studying the fantastically evocative poem called ‘From a Railway Carriage’ by Robert Louis Stevenson. 

Today Banji Alexander visited our school.  He is an exciting new author who came into school to share his debut book, ‘Lockdown Looms: Reggie’s Birthday Party’. 

A big thank you to all the parents who donated cakes this week, we raised £130 for MacMillan Cancer Support through our school Bake Sale.

Author and storyteller, Chitra Soundar, is hosting an interactive session this Saturday at 2pm at the Salvation Army in Thornton Heath.

Our current Thematic topic in Year 3 is a local area study about Crystal Palace. 

Our new year 3 cohort has had a fantastic start to their Key Stage 2 career. 

There have been sixty one Kings and Queens of England in the last 1200 years but none has been monarch longer than Queen Elizabeth II, who died yesterday at the age of 96. 

This year a number of pupils from Brigstock attended a gardening club at Lion Road Allotments. 

Today we said good bye to our Year 6 children.  It was lovely looking back through the years during the Leavers Assembly and remembering some of the experiences that the children had whilst at Brigstock. 

This website post has information, activity clubs and links to resources which will support families and children over the summer holidays. 

Year 2 enjoyed a lovely day at the beach (except for being accosted by sandwich stealing seagulls!). 

For their Blue Bead treat Year 6 decided to enjoy a water fight. 

Children got the surprise of their lives when they got to meet Ava, a half girl half osprey, from a story they read in class before visiting the London Wetlands Centre.

Today was the day when our ‘decennial’ (it means every 10 years – I Googled it!)
