Headteacher Message

Hello all,

We have overcome the gloomy skies and had a lovely return to school. One of the advantages of being a smaller school is that I have had interaction with nearly all the children in the school in these last 4 days.  I don't know if it is our year long focus on kindness, but a number of your children in conversation have asked how I am.  I think it is great that they are learning to communicate in this way and engaging in a two way conversation. As ever, they are a credit to you.  I have talked about our collaboration with Roehampton University and the work we are doing to improve North Sheen Rec.  I received the following from one of the three senior lecturers at the university.

This write up is shared with all of the universities partner schools and I am really proud of this collaboration and the fantastic work that our Year 5 have produced.

I really hope the sun makes an appearance over the weekend.  Have a good one.

The Reading Corner

Welcome to our weekly section of the newsletter all about reading. Every week, we will share a question (or two) with you about the book your child is reading in school. Please use these questions to help you find out a little more about what your child has been reading in school and continue to develop their love of reading.
