He came 4th out of 136 participants from 103 countries and was ranked the 8th best player in the world (in the age 8 category). He deservedly received his prize from the legendary chess player and former champion, Gary Kasparov. Well done, Aditya! Wow!
Religious Trips At Cranbrook we celebrate all the main religions of the world throughout our curriculum. Often year groups visit places of worship to enhance the children's understanding of their RE topic.forms a very important learning experience for the children and if children do not attend these trips they are unable to access some of the work in class that the other children who went will. At Cranbrook we pride ourselves on celebrating the diversity of our community and we believe it is important to show understanding and tolerance of all people who make up our community. Therefore, I do expect all parents to support this by allowing their child to attend. Please note that we are in the process of organising a trip to the mosque next year.

He came 4th out of 136 participants from 103 countries and was ranked the 8th best player in the world (in the age 8 category). He deservedly received his prize from the legendary chess player and former champion, Gary Kasparov. Well done, Aditya! Wow!
Religious Trips At Cranbrook we celebrate all the main religions of the world throughout our curriculum. Often year groups visit places of worship to enhance the children's understanding of their RE topic.forms a very important learning experience for the children and if children do not attend these trips they are unable to access some of the work in class that the other children who went will. At Cranbrook we pride ourselves on celebrating the diversity of our community and we believe it is important to show understanding and tolerance of all people who make up our community. Therefore, I do expect all parents to support this by allowing their child to attend. Please note that we are in the process of organising a trip to the mosque next year.

Road Safety Week This week is Road Safety Week and we will be putting up banners on the fences around the school to spread the road safety message. Please help us to keep the area around our school safe by slowing down your speed, following the one way priority system in the car park, only parking in the bays and wearing seatbelts. Your child’s safety is the priority!
Parking In light of the accident outside school yesterday morning, we would advise parents to refrain from parking on The Drive, especially by the main school gate.
In addition, following further complaints of dangerous driving in the car park I am concerned to hear reports that the driver of a blue Audi, registration KE52 ZXZ was seen driving very dangerously with two children in the car not wearing seatbelts. I would very much like to speak to this person.

Well done to all of you!
Walk Once A Week (WOW) Winners Congratulations to 1G and 4Y who were awarded the WOW trophies for October during the celebration assembly on Friday. Please can you continue to encourage your child to walk to school.
Report Here is a report from the Chair of the School Council, Joana Aukstuolyte (6R):
“As you know last week we were raising lots of money for MacMillan Nurses. We will let you know how much very soon! We will announce the winner this Friday. Is it going to be team Shrek or team Kermit the Frog? Remember all the money that you have raised will go to MacMillan Cancer Support. Thank you for your help. There will be certificates given out to each year group for their amazing work!”.
Residents’ Concerns As a school community we should all be keen for Cranbrook to have an excellent reputation. Unfortunately, this is being spoilt by some as they go home from school. Local residents have contacted us to say that children, in front of their parents, are throwing rubbish into their gardens and cars have damaged walls when reversing and no apology given. These are only a few of the complaints that we have received and are most concerned by them. Please show more respect for our neighbours and work to maintain our positive name.

Car Park I am concerned that since the last newsletter where a reminder was given to parents not to use inappropriate language in and around the school, we have since received further complaints of this. At Cranbrook there is a zero tolerance of the use of inappropriate language by pupils and adults in the school which should also be respected by the parents.

For P.E. lessons that take place outside, please ensure that your child has a sweatshirt and a pair of tracksuit bottoms as well as their regular kit.

Go Green for MacMillan Cancer Support Each year group have been allocated two collection buckets, where children can donate money to choose the green character they wish to have painted on the reading wall. The choice of character is either Shrek or Kermit the Frog. A big thank you to all the children that have already voted. If your child would like to vote they need to make a donation to help fill the collection bucket for their character choice. The character who raises the most money wins, so let’s get voting!

Also, congratulations to the following writers of the week:
Aaliah Patel, Maisha Choudhury, Keerthana Thurisumy, Baljit Assi, Zahra Ahmed, Aliya Hussain, Saad Khan and Nahia Hussain.
School Fundraising As part of our commitment to “giving back” we shall be taking part in the following where children are invited to wear non-uniform clothing:
15th November - Spots theme (funds to Children in Need)
30th November - Blue theme to celebrate St. Andrew’s Day (contributions to the school fund)
We shall be asking that children bring in a donation of £1 which will go to the relevant fund.
Go Green for MacMillan Cancer Support Each year group have been allocated two collection buckets, where children can donate money to choose the green character they wish to have painted on the reading wall. The choice of character is either Shrek or Kermit the Frog. A big thank you to all the children that have already voted. If your child would like to vote they need to make a donation to help fill the collection bucket for their character choice. The character who raises the most money wins, so let’s get voting! There is also a Y1 cake sale taking place this Thursday after school. Please do come along and support this cause.
