News Atwood Primary School

Atwood Primary School has an Ofsted inspection this week.  We would appreciate it if families could complete the Ofsted Parent View questionnaire.

A shortened week this week means a shorter newsletter.  However, just because we’ve only had three days in school it doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy.

Well done to everyone who took part in this year’s Atwood Pumpkin Competition.

In assembly this week, the children have learned about the importance of cutting our carbon. 

It is hard to believe that we have already made it to half term. 

The children have been amazing in their first half term in the Early Years at Atwood. 

In Year Five, the children have been creating and performing ‘blackout’ Poetry using the book The Lost Words: A Spell Book by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris’. 

The Atwood girls’ football team opened their season with a win this week. 

As part of our continued commitment to reading and phonics, we were delighted to take delivery this week of even more books to support the delivery of our Little Wandle Phonics programme. 

In the Early Years we look at the world around us a lot and explore similarities, differences and change. 

On Monday this week, a selection of Year 5 and 6 pupils represented the school at the Croydon’s prestigious interschool cross country competition. 

We are always very interested in what parents tell us via the parental questionnaire that we undertake each year. 

It has been another busy week of learning at Atwood. YEAR GROUP BY YEAR GROUP Our Nursery and Reception children have been busy outside enjoying the sunshine and you can read more about their week on our website here.

In the Early Years, children have been enjoying the unexpected good weather and have spent a lot of time outside. 

Everybody has been busy this September in the Early Years getting to know all of the new children and helping them feel safe and happy at school.
