News Atwood Primary School

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.

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

There have been sixty one Kings and Queens of England in the last 1200 years but none has been monarch longer than Queen Elizabeth II, who died yesterday at the age of 96.
