News Whitehorse Manor Junior School

Today we celebrated World Book Day at Whitehorse Manor Junior School with some very well disguised pupils and staff members. 

What a delight to be visited by rapper and author Breis today.

Today, Mrs Pinkney, Mrs Chang and a small group of children, took to the school field with their spades and began planting Daffodil bulbs.

Wow Wow Wow! The Whitehorse Museum opened this morning and what a beautiful sight it was.

In year 3 we have been studying variations of the Cinderella story.

We are delighted that our gardening club is now up and running.

Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals. 

Whilst there was much excitement this morning when the children arrived to see the snow-clad field, there was also disappointment for the choir when it became clear that the treacherous conditions outside, and the knock on effect of these on the bus service, would mean their planned visit to the Whitgift Centre to sing carols could not go ahead. 

This term junior children at Whitehorse will get to take home a free book donated by the Children’s Book Project.
