Mrs Kenneth’s Message
Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe we are already half-way through the
Summer Term, as always very busy, and the end of the school
year is fast approaching. Everyone has been working very
hard but there have already been lots of lovely things
happening and many more planned to take place before we
finish in July.
Class trips have been, and still are, in full flow this term with
Year 5 starting things off with their 2 night visit to The
Kingswood Centre near Ashford last month, followed by their
visit to The Battle of Britain memorial. Year 3 were next with
their trip to the Roald Dahl Wondercrump exhibition at The
Southbank Centre last week. This week we saw Year 6 enjoy a
fantastic day at Thorpe Park on Tuesday as a reward for all
their hard work with their SATS (below)
and on Wednesday it was the turn of Year 2 who had a lovely
day exploring on the coast at Birling Gap near Eastbourne, .
This term, the Reception Class’s topic is ‘People who help us’
and they have had numerous visitors, including a vet, nurse,
police officer, postman and soldiers who have come in to
speak to the children about their various roles. Today it was
the children’s turn to pay a visit when they went along to the
newly rebuilt Orpington Fire Station!
Reception Class will also be having a day out at the
Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve on Wednesday 8th June and the
following day, Year 1 are off to The National Gallery. The
final class day out will be when Year 4 visits The Museum of
London on Tuesday 28th June.
In addition, our annual trip to The Houses of Parliament for
school council members, school governors and House
captains is on Monday 13th June.
Of course, the biggest trip to coordinate is the much
anticipated Year 6 School Journey to the Isle of Wight which
is taking place the first week back after half-term. We are
sure everyone will have a wonderful time!
Comings and Goings
Last term there were a few changes, in Year 3 particularly,
where we were sorry to see Eve and Gabby leave us but
welcomed Hollie, Grace and Vincent. We were pleased when
Josh and Milanna joined us in January then we bid farewell to
the Maryan family when they left us at Easter. Earlier this
term we welcomed Eva to Year 2 and Hayley to Year 5.
Today we are sad to be saying
goodbye to Layla (Year 2) and
Isabelle (Reception) who are
moving out of the area. We
wish the family good luck and
much happiness in your new
home and school – please keep
in touch, we will miss you!

Foth News
You will have noticed from the minutes of last Friday’s FOTH meeting that plans are well underway for the Summer Fair which this year is taking place after school on Friday 24th June. Our wonderful team is doing a grand job in organising lots of fun but if you are able to help in any capacity we would be very grateful. Please let either the class reps or put your name down at the School Office.
There is also a RACE NIGHT booked for Saturday 9th July which is bound to be great fun. Please see last week’s flyer or the separate email sent out this week for more details.
Of course the biggest event in the calendar is our very own 10k in September, which this year is being sponsored by Coolings. Thank you so much to everyone who is helping to put this event on again. There is still plenty of time for you to get involved and nearer the time we will be asking for marshalls. More details to follow shortly.
Wishing you all a lovely, relaxing Half-Term break and see you all again on Monday 6th June.
