Whole School Photograph – Monday 24th June 2024 

We are excited to carry on the traditional whole school photograph which will be taken in school on Monday 24th June. All children must attend school on time and in the correct uniform along with their hats. Mrs Crocker will provide information after the event for all parents who wish to purchase this fantastic keepsake. 

Kew Fête – tomorrow 22nd June 

A reminder that Year 4 children will run their annual Elderflower Stall at the Kew Fête tomorrow from 11am – 6pm. With recipes and delights that have all been made by hand, it promises to be a fun and delicious event. Parking can be sticky around the Green, so we suggest you jump on the tube/bus. Entry is free and we look forward to seeing you there. 

Senior School Musical – Save the date 

We are looking forward to presenting Peter Pan, which is our Senior School Musical for 2024. The children have been rehearsing and practising the fabulous songs and we can promise you it is going to be an amazing show.  This year we have decided to prioritise tickets for families in Years 5 and 6 as this is their only annual production. Therefore we will not be offering tickets to parents of the children in Year 4. The Year 4 children will still be required to attend as they sing beautifully as the additional choir. There will be two performances, an evening performance, which will take place on Thursday 4th July at 6pm, and a matinee performance, which will take place on Friday 5th July at 2pm. Please save these dates in your diary. The younger children will all watch the performance during the dress rehearsal so we ask that no younger siblings attend either of the final performances. Mrs Doyle will be sending an email next week to all parents in Years 5 and 6 to book your tickets. 

Den Day – 4th July 

Den Day, which was originally planned for next week, will now take place on Thursday 4th July. All of the children will have fun building dens in school to raise money for Save the Children. It will be a fun way for us to raise funds that will change children’s lives, whilst learning new skills, including team building. Once the dens have been built the children will enjoy a picnic lunch inside their dens. On Wednesday 3rd July, we kindly ask that each child brings in an item from home to help build the dens. This can be cardboard boxes, a blanket or a sheet, some clothes pegs, or any other item from around the house that might make good building materials. A link to donate to Save the children can be found by clicking here.
