Biker’s Breakfast We are keen to encourage our children to cycle or scoot to school and all children who do so on Monday 19th May, are invited to come along to the Small Hall from 8.15 onwards for a biker's breakfast. Please leave your bike or scooter in the gym area in the playground and join us for breakfast.
Colour Assemblies Colour assemblies will be running as usual on Thursday.

Animal Magic On 2nd May, Years 1 and 2 met some nocturnal animals from the ’Animal Magic’ company. The children asked lots of questions and enjoyed getting closer to the animals than they would usually!
 
Owls Last week, Years 1, 2 and 3 were lucky enough to receive a visit from some owls. They learned some interesting facts about owls in an information assembly. Reception classes and Years 1 and 2 had the opportunity to take photographs with an owl.
 
Lost Property Please come and check the tubs, which are now overflowing with unclaimed items with no names. If items are not claimed by the end of this half-term (22nd May), we will be sending them to the charity shop.
 
FACE Painting Workshop We are holding a face painted workshop on Thursday 5th June at 1.45pm (to 3pm). Parents/volunteers with an artistic flair are invited to learn the basic skills of face painting. This is an exciting opportunity to learn some valuable tips and techniques in the trade. Furthermore, this will hopefully give you the experience to join us in the Summer Fair to use these skills as a face painter. Certificates will be awarded to participants.
 
English Course for Parents Parents and carers from all year groups are invited to take part in a 6 week English course at Cranbrook Primary School. The course will start on Friday 6th June and will run for 6 weeks until Friday 11th July from 9.30am – 11.30am. Parents will have the opportunity to understand how and what their children are learning in English lessons at school, develop new spelling strategies and gain a greater understanding of grammar and punctuation in order to support their children’s learning in the home. A certificate will be awarded to all participants and free refreshments will be provided. Unfortunately we are unable to provide a crèche on this occasion. If you would like to enrol then please phone 020 8518 2562 to put your name down on the waiting list or contact Beverley the school’s parent support adviser for further information.
