Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back to the second half of the Autumn term. I hope that you all had a restful half-term break. Now that the weather has turned a bit colder, please make sure that your child is wearing their sweatshirt and that they have a warm coat for school. 

There are lots of SWOYSA events over the next few months. Please look ahead at the school calendar on the website so that you can save the dates. The next key event is a 'Table Top Sale of Pre-Loved Items' on Sunday 17th November at 12.30pm. You can sign up for a table to sell your pre-loved items or join us for some shopping! Also, below you will see information about Christmas tree sales and estate agent boards. Please do support if you can.

Our Scholastic Book Fair has arrived in school today and the children have all had an opportunity to visit the fair with their buddies. They have jotted down their top three book choices on an order form wish list. If you would like to order these books for your child, you can return the order form with payment to your child's class teacher. Alternatively, pop along to the Book Fair next week. The opening and closing times are listed below. 

We also have arranged to take part in the TTRS England Rocks multiplication challenge next week. It's important that our children feel confident with their times tables so this competition is a great way to boost their enjoyment and knowledge. A separate email was sent out yesterday with all the details.

Kind regards

Hayley Mayers (Headteacher)

Christmas Fair Boards

Thank you so much to everyone who has previously signed up to host a Hunters estate agent fundraising board for our Christmas and summer fairs last year. If you no longer wish for a board to be put up at your address, please let us know by this evening.

*If you live in SE23 or SE4 and would like to support the school in this way please send your name and address to your class rep or email swoysa1@gmail.com by the end of today (Friday 8th November 2024). *

Hunters will put a board outside your property for approximately 3 weeks over the period of the Christmas and Summer fairs. You may have seen that lots of schools in the area manage to raise sponsorship from estate agents in this way and it’s a great way to support the school  without having to donate any money yourself! You can be removed from the list at any time in future by contacting SWOYSA.

Lost Property - please ensure your child's clothing has their name on

To help us reunite lost property with the owner, please ensure all items have your child's name. Even handwritten on the wash label, you do not need printed labels. 

Late children - please ensure your child is in their classroom by 8:55am, ready for the register at 9am. 

Children who arrive in class after 9am will be marked as late.

If you are late, an adult must sign the child/ren in at the main office using the tablet (instructions are below the screen). 

Office staff will collect the children while parents/carers sign them in on the tablet.
