News Whitehorse Manor Junior School

A highlight of the end of year is the opportunity for pupils in different year groups to share their music work with each other. 

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

This week, Year 6 at Whitehorse Manor performed their end of term production, ‘Aladdin Trouble,’ to children across the school and to their parents. 

We were pleased to be visited today by Steve Reed, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice and MP for Croydon North, so that he could meet with our School Council to discuss local matters and tell them a little bit more about his work as our local MP. 

Lovely to see Rachel Dixon, our Dance and Yoga specialist teacher, working with Year 5 on the field under the blazing sunshine today. 

It was a pleasure accompanying Year 6 on the annual visit to Chessington World of Adventures on Wednesday 6th July. 

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!)

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

Excitement was in the air on Monday, as a sea of red, blue, green and yellow took to the school field.

I will be honest and say that the building of the Anglo Saxon houses in 4P was not popular with our cleaning staff (lots of mud and straw) but the learning when Mrs Pinkney set up a ‘river’ in one of the flower beds and asked pupils to set up their homestead was next level stuff. 

On Monday 20th June, courtesy of Ms Madukah, we were lucky enough to have Arthur Torrington CBE leading our assembly commemorating Windrush Day – 22nd June.

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!
