News Whitehorse Manor Junior School

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.

This week Year 5 visited the Science Museum as part of their studies on Earth and Space. 

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. 

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. 

I know EPS have done a ‘What staff looked like as school children’ quiz (excellent work guys!)

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.
