Open Classroom Afternoon

Dear Parents/Carers,

Due to the Met Office Red Warning (extreme heat leading to serious illness, or danger to life) we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the Open Classroom Afternoon on Monday (18th July).

 

This will now be held early in September, so that you can see your children’s new classrooms and meet their teachers.

 

Thank you for your support and understanding in this matter.

 

We want to say a huge thank you to the PTA and all the volunteers for the incredible amount of work that went into making the summer fair such a success. Also, a thank you to all our families who came and joined in - raising such an amazing amount of money for the school! 

 

It was wonderful to have all the school community together, enjoying the sunshine and fun! 

Class Teacher Awards

 

This week all of the classes have received a Year group Leader Award!

 

We were really pleased with all of the children's behaviour on the trip to the Science Museum and were extremely happy to receive both e mails and calls from members of the public who commented on  their general behaviour and positive relationships with their teachers. 

Also, the sportsmanship that children exemplified on Year Five Sports Day was great to see too!

A huge well done to everyone and what a fabulous end to the year !

Heat Warning

Due to the extreme temperatures forecast for the upcoming week (WB Monday 11th July) we would like to remind Parents/Carers that your children should bring the following every day:

 

  • A refillable water bottle
  • A sunhat

 

Children should come to school in light clothing and are permitted to wear their PE kits. If your child’s PE kit is in school, then any sensible light shorts with an Avenue top is also permitted.

 

We will ensure that classrooms are well ventilated and the children will be reminded to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Physical activities will be limited and the children will stay inside during the hottest parts of the day.

 

As always, the children’s safety is our priority and we thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Sun Safety 

Now that the warmer weather is here, we need to think about sun safety. 

 

Please provide your child with a named sun hat and ensure that they have a named plastic water bottle (with sports cap opening). 

 

If your child requires sun cream, please ensure they apply it before school. If you wish them to reapply sun cream before breaktimes, lunchtimes or outdoor PE, please provide them with a named bottle. Staff are not allowed to apply sun cream to children, so please ensure that your child can apply it themselves.

Year Five Local History Visit to Cheam

 

There was a heightened level of excitement in Year Five this week as all the children were looking forward to the local history trip to Cheam. From Monday, all of teachers were checking the weather on a daily basis in the hope that there would be no sign of rain. We were very lucky indeed as the only rain occurred just as the last classes returned to school on Friday!

All of the children had a fabulous time learning new and interesting facts about Cheam, with many of them planning to take their families on the trip too! Highlights included the link between Nonsuch Palace and the Red Lion Inn, Cheam School ( attended by the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Philip) and the historical graffiti wall close to St Dunstan's Church.

All of the children showed exemplary behaviour with comments being made by numerous members of the public as to how well behaved they were and how wonderful it was to see children enjoying learning. 

Well done to everyone !

At points throughout the day “Reach for the Stars” was played over the tannoy system to remind us all to reach for the stars to achieve our goals.

To celebrate the diverse cultures of children at our school, during the day they will complete activities related to the different languages spoken by the Avenue school community. They will research “endangered” languages, participate in a language quiz and try out different tongue twisters. They can also bring a traditional object related to their country of origin to show their class.

 

 

If your child would like to, they can come dressed in the colours of their home country’s flag, their national dress or a national sports kit of their home country.

Safeguarding Update for Parents

 

A number of pupils have spoken to adults at school about watching the Netflix series ‘The Squid Game’. This is a dystopian drama which has an age rating of 15 and there are strong scenes of violence and death in every episode. Some pupils tell us they can access Netflix on their mobile phones and tablets.

Please ensure you either have the correct safety settings on mobile phones and tablets or ensure your children are supervised while using them, as pupils are telling us that their parents do not know they are watching the show.

Thank you.

We are asking that all parents please try to contribute. This is a one-off payment of £25.

If you are unable to afford this, please do try to make a smaller contribution. This includes pupils eligible for Pupil Premium.

 

If every parent contributes something, it will make such a difference to what we can offer!

Your contribution is entirely voluntary, but you will understand the difference that it makes.

 

Please login to your Parent Portal, sign your child up to the Voluntary contribution TRIP and make your contribution payment on Arbor.

 

Please note that day trips and residentials will be paid for separately, not from the school fund,  and you will be notified of these as and when they occur.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

Reminder for Parents

Please ensure that your children are coming to school with a suitable coat every day as they will be going outside for learning and playtime in most weather. Children will not be allowed to take umbrellas outside with them during the school day. Should your child come to school in wellies, please make that they have suitable school shoes to change in to when they arrive. 

Many thanks for your help in this matter,

 This half – term in French, children will revise days and months as well as numbers 0-70 and they will extend their learning with numbers to 100. They will also learn simple directions so that they can participate in a role – play asking and answering questions on where we can find shops and different places in a town.

Year Five Welcome Letter Autumn One

Dear Parents /Carers,

This term, we will be doing classroom visits and Parent Forum meetings virtually. You will be able to access these on Teams. Virtual classrooms will be available to watch on the 17th September and the Parent Forum presentation on the 24th September. 

Language of the Month - Hungarian

Above is some information linked to our Language of the Month which, for September is Hungarian. 

Drop off and Pick Up Safety

 

We like to have a good relationship with our local residents so please remember, if possible, walk to school. 


 

If you are driving in the local area, please do so considerately and under no circumstances block residents' driveway for any length of time. You must not stop or let children out of the car on the zigzag lines outside the school gate. 


 

Also, a reminder that the use of e-scooters is both dangerous and illegal. 

 

Lockdown Procedures.

 

As you will know all schools need to be prepared for a situation where they need to lockdown the school – keeping children and staff inside for their own safety.  

 

To ensure we are prepared for this we have worked hard to put in place very clear procedures for a lockdown situation using the advice from the Metropolitan Police and other emergency agencies. We have a lockdown policy and procedures for our school, but these are not available on our website or shared beyond staff in the school for obvious security reasons. 

 

We conduct termly lockdown drills with the children and staff to make sure the procedures work. We will ensure that the children understand that, like in the event of a fire alarm – which means the building is not safe – where everybody stays calm and leaves sensibly, a lockdown simply means that something outside is not safe – therefore we stay inside the building and sit quietly and calmly. In an age-appropriate way we will make sure that they are aware of how to respond in the event of an emergency situation.  

Indoor Shoes

 

Currently, indoor shoes are optional. If the weather is bad and you wish your child to come to school in boots or wellies, please ensure that they have their school shoes to change into.

 

Children will still need to have plimsolls and trainers in their PE kits.

 

Thank you

WELCOME TO YEAR 5

We are all really looking forward to seeing the children on Thursday 2nd September. Your children’s teachers have planned wonderful activities to welcome the children into their new classes and will be spending time getting to know your child and helping them feel confident as they begin the new year.

Morning drop-off: Please drop off your child at the Avenue Road gate. The gates will be open 8:10am – 8:30am. The children will then make their way to the Jubilee playground where they will proceed to their new classrooms.

If you also have a child in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, please drop and collect your children off via the Dorset Road gate and follow the guidance on your younger child’s pick-up times and locations. Please note, only children with siblings in Nursery to Year 2 should use the Dorset Road gate.

Uniform

Please remember that children must be in the correct school uniform which is labelled (see our school website for full details of the uniform policy). Although resources will be provided in school, if your child wishes to bring their own pencil cases then they can but please ensure that this, and its contents, is fully labelled.

Could you also ensure that your child’s P.E kit is in school from the start of term and that each item is name labelled.  The children will require their P.E. kit during the first week of school and this should include trainers for outdoor use. Smart watches are not permitted in school, due to safeguarding reasons.

The children will also require a labelled swimming kit as they will start swimming the week beginning 6th September.  

Year 5 children may bring a mobile phone to school, which must be switched off when they arrive and then handed straight to their class teacher. These are not to be used on the school premises.

If you wish your child to walk home alone, please email the school office.

We look forward to working with you and your child.
