Junior - Weekly email - Friday 5th May

Dear Parents / Carers
 
We all enjoyed celebrating the coronation this afternoon with our standins for King Charles and Queen Camilla - sadly due to the weather we couldn't meet up with the Infant School but we had a mock ceremony and a parade of crowns in the school hall this afternoon.
 
We hope that Year 5 enjoyed the amazing planetarium shows in the Wonderdome this week. 
 

The girls football team had two matches this week - winning one and losing one. The scores were Little Chalfont 0-4 CSG and Chesham Prep 1-0 CSG. Thank you to Mr O'sullivan for managing the girls team this season.

 
A year 4 team took part in a football festival at Butlers Court on Thursday. They played four mini matches, winning three and drawing one. Great performances from all players and they showed good sportsmanship throughout the tournament. Thank you to Miss Balaam for managing the team.
 
Mr Ballard was very pleased with the netball team's performance this week. They won 4-2 against St Josephs on Thursday. They have now played 3 won 3 this season.
 
Year 3 PACCAR Trip on Thursday 22nd June. We are looking for two parent helpers from Year 3 to accompany us on the visit. If you are able to help on this trip and have a DBS check valid for our school, please can you contact the School Office
 
Year 4 Neasden Temple trip - Tuesday 20th June. We are looking for two or three parent helpers from Year 4 to accompany us on the visit: preferably male as boys and girls sit separately in the temple for the ceremony. If you are able to help on this trip and have a DBS check valid for our school, please can you contact the School Office
 
Bikeability Training  for Year 5 and 6 children - we now have just enough children signed up to make the training viable. There are still places available so if you would like to sign your child up for the training please the deadline is now Friday12th May.  Details here or paper copies of the forms are available from the School Office. 
 
Class photos -  Stanley Baker photographers are visiting on Tuesday 16th May to take class photos and leavers photos for the Year 6 children. They are operating a new system to eliminate the need for proofs, and have set up a code that enables parents to pre-register to view class group photograph images when they are uploaded. There will be separate individual codes for Year 6 that will be given to Year 6 children on the day the photographs are taken, and these can be used for their individual photos and their Class photos.

The code for the class group photographs is JRYJM58 and the web address is www.photoordering.co.uk

Lost property - there are a lot of unlabelled items in the lost property box in the Dining Hall. Items will be out in the dining hall at the end of school today and the box will be emptied over the half term holidays.
