News Whitehorse Manor Junior School

Today at WHJUN we brought back the Reading Breakfast! (it had been a little while).

In Year 3, we have been studying the book ‘Jemmy Button’ by  Jennifer Uman and Valerio Vidali. 

We are delighted that our gardening club is now up and running.

Recently, year 3 have been studying Aesop’s fables.  We have discussed the features of a fables and what makes them different from fairy tales as well as learning about what a moral is and how the fables convey these morals. 

Whilst there was much excitement this morning when the children arrived to see the snow-clad field, there was also disappointment for the choir when it became clear that the treacherous conditions outside, and the knock on effect of these on the bus service, would mean their planned visit to the Whitgift Centre to sing carols could not go ahead. 

This term junior children at Whitehorse will get to take home a free book donated by the Children’s Book Project. 

You may be aware from the media that the UK is seeing a high number of Group A strep cases this year.  

Here are details of our Christmas Lunch Menu

Thursday morning saw a wonderful demonstration of teaching for Maths Mastery in Year 4 (4P). 

We are very excited to tell you that WHJUN have been donated over 800 books (by the Children’s Book Project) to share with the children.

Thank you to all the parents, carers and children who attended the initial meeting about the Year 6 residential trip 2022-23 last night. 

The Year 6 team are very excited to announce that this academic year’s residential trip for Year 6 has been finalised!

Today, years 3-6 at Brigstock thoroughly enjoyed taking part in workshops for the Lion King! 

This time last year I was approached by one of our parents, asking if we had any old and unused resources which might be useful to a Nursery School that her mother was setting up in Ghana. 

Yesterday, staff and children at Brigstock and WHJUN main site celebrated uniqueness by wearing odd socks.
