News Atwood Primary School

This week, the year 6 netball team played their first league matches of the season.

December is here, and Christmas Making Day is a fantastic way to kick off the festive month! 

We capped off another busy week with a very well-attended dads’ breakfast and all the children dressed in mufti today.

What an amazing world we live in.  The children in Early Years have been outside enjoying the changing weather, and appreciating the last bit of sun for the year. 

Our Trust Staff Meeting at Cypress on Handwriting in the Early Years, for our Early Years and Year 1 practitioners, was a fantastic opportunity for the adults to have some fun, as well as learning some important pedagogy and practical ideas to teach this crucial life skill.

How odd!  Today saw us celebrating our individuality by wearing odd socks and the children embraced this day in style. 

What a busy couple of weeks it has been for the youngest members of the school since coming back after half term.

Yesterday, over 50 of our Year 1-4 children competed at the Croydon schools cross country event. 

Year 3 have been really enjoying learning about dinosaurs in reading, literacy and thematic. 

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.
