The children have arrived safely at the 02 and cannot wait to perform later. Apparently they are up high right behind the stage!

Clockhouse draw

Well done to the boys football team on Friday, who took on Crownfields in a local fixture and our first home game.

As always all the boys played well, did us proud and despite the mud were committed to the very end.

We drew 1-1, well done to all the team and to Teraun Davis the goal scorer!

There are lots more matches coming up, we will keep you posted.

                                                       

Boccia Team News

A big well done to the Clockhouse Boccia team who took part in a Borough wide competition on Friday afternoon at the YMCA.

The children, along with Mrs Pacheco, Mr Thomas, Mrs Herbert and Mrs Jackson all had a wonderful time and the children did there very best and made us all proud!

We are unsure of the final result yet but as always it is the taking part that is so important. We will let you know the result when we find out!

Well done team Clockhouse!

Year 6 Historical Character Day

The Year 6 children had a great day looking at historical characters and eras!

Well done to all those who came dressed up (children and staff). The costumes were fabulous! We hope you all enjoyed it and this has got everyone in the mood for learning lots about history this half term!

Reminders for Week Beginning 13th January 2014

It was lovely to welcome everyone back last week and we were pleased to hear about everyone's Christmas Holidays.

 

There are lots of different things happening in school this week, so please read on to find out!

 

Year 6

Please remember that the Year 6 children have their historical dress day tomorrow (Monday). Children have been asked to come to school dressed as an historical figure or wear a costume that represents an historical era.

Also on Monday the Community Police and Transport for London will be in school security marking Year 6 bikes. Please ensure that the form sent home on Friday is completed and securely attach to your child's bike (in a plastic bag if it is raining). Bikes should be left in the fenced off area outside 4MM. We will be offering this to other Year Groups in the near future.

 

Year 6 will also be visiting HMS Belfast on Friday. Please see your child's class teacher should you require any further information. Please ensure children get to school on time fully equipped for the day, as they will be leaving straight after registration.

 

Year 1

Year 1 children have their Sports Fashion Show tomorrow (Monday). Please send the children in with their sports outfit in a clearly labelled plastic bag. They should come to school in normal school uniform.

 

Year 2

We look forward to welcoming lots of our Year 2 Parents and Carers on Thursday morning for the Year 2 'Learn with your Child Morning'. We hope that you find this a worthwhile and useful experience.

 

Please can we also take this opportunity to remind Year 1, 2 (Thursday) and 5 (Wednesday) parents / carers that your Year Groups offer 'Ready, Steady Read' mornings, which gives you the opportunity to come in and read with your child before school. Please do come and join us. We hope to extend this to more year groups in the future.

 

Have a good week everyone!

Calling all Year 2 Parents / Carers

Do not forget that the Year 2 Ready Steady Read mornings start tomorrow.

Please come into school to read with your child before the start of the school day!

We look forward to seeing lots of you there.

Welcome Back to School and reminders for Week Beginning 6th January 2014

Happy New Year everyone!

We all hope that you have had a fantastic Christmas and that 2014 has got off to a good start for you all! On behalf of all the staff a huge thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts we received prior to the Christmas break.

As you are aware we are back to school tomorrow (6th January) and are looking forward to seeing everyone bright and early!

Please ensure that all the children return to school with all the necessary equipment they require - full P.E. kits, water bottles, coats, home learning, reading books and anything else they need. Please can we also remind you of the importance of full school uniform and that this along with coats are clearly named.

169 children achieved 100% attendance at school last term, can we beat this this term? Good luck everyone.

As always we look forward to working with each and everyone of you in 2014!
Here is to another successful term at Clockhouse Primary!

See you all tomorrow and have a good week.
