If your child likes fire engines, Croydon Fire Station is hosting its annual Open Day on Saturday 2nd July 2022 from 11am until 4pm. 

Our friends at Thornton Heath Nursery School (THNS) are starting a new ‘Stay and Play’ after the half term holiday. 

The end of our amazing woodland adventure is finally here! Across our classes, the children ended on a high with trap making, camouflage games and survival bracelet making.

It has been a very busy full day here at Boughton Woods with year 6!

After a long drive and some coach delays, our Year 6 adventurers have settled into camp, unrolled their sleeping bags and got stuck in to woodland life!

Year 5 and 6 children,  Miss Hall and Miss Surrey have enjoyed working alongside the Green Project at Bensham Allotments. 

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. 

Thank you to all the families who donated Easter Eggs for the raffle. 

Your child should already have brought home a kit list which outlines all the equipment they need for the upcoming residential woodland bushcraft trip this May. 

As part of our literacy unit on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, we have been delving into the killer mind of Lady Macbeth.
