6th July 2018 Newsletter No. 089

Welcome to our Newsletter!

There has been a fabulous, excited buzz around school this week as the initial work

has begun on our playground developments. I am sure you will have all noticed the new

gym equipment and 2 table tennis tables which have been installed on the edge of the

field.

The children have behaved impeccably this week, watching the installation and are

excited about having a go on the new equipment.

We specifically chose

this to be the first

phase of our

improvements in order

that Year 6 children can

enjoy the equipment

before they leave St

Dunstan’s.

I am delighted to announce that Year 6 will be able to have the first turn on Monday

and then it will be opened to the rest of the school!

Phase 2 of the improvements will take place during the summer holidays and I would

like to thank you all again for all of the contributions you have made to the

fundraising which is enabling the project to come to fruition.

Please note that for health and safety reasons no-one is allowed on the equipment

after school and we ask parents to please reinforce this rule with all of the children

as they go home each day. Thank you.

The District Sports team did brilliantly at the 89th

Annual Borough Athletics at the David Weir Leisure Centre on Thursday 26th June.

The children were supportive of each other and enthusiastic throughout the afternoon. Everyone did an excellent job in the heats, which resulted in many of our relay teams and sprinters making it

through to the final. All of the team must be complemented on their impeccable behaviour and sportsmanship.

The year 6 girls relay teams won in their category, leading to us winning the 'Girls Relay' trophy. Year 5 girls came 2nd and Year 4 came in 3rd. Well done to our sprinters: Lexi who came 1st in her age group. Jasmine who came 2nd in her age group and Peter who secured 1st in his heat. We took part in 6 out of a possible 8 finals. Overall, we won the girls combined trophy and came 1st in the medium schools category. Congratulations to the winners and everyone who took part in the afternoon! A huge success!

89th Annual Borough Athletics

Message from the Headteacher

Year 6 Leavers’ Service

On Thursday

28th June, Year

6 visited

Southwark

Cathedral for

their Leavers’

Service.

‘There were lots of schools who came together

for songs and dance. Before the service, we

went to the wibbly wobbly bridge and walked past

the Globe Theatre. When it was time for the

service to start, we took our seats. The service

was lovely, although our view was limited by a

pillar. After the service, we had lunch in the

garden at

Southwark

Cathedral. It

was nice to

finally rest our

feet!!

When we

returned to

school, we all felt extremely proud but tired.

Thank you to the staff and Governors for

escorting us.’ by Poppy, Aquila

Attendance

As part of their learning, for the past few weeks the children

in Nursery have been watching their caterpillars develop into butterflies.

The children enjoyed every minute of watching the caterpillars change.

It was a very magical moment when the first butterfly emerged!

The children said good-bye and the butterflies were released this week.

On Saturday 14th July it is the Cheam and Cuddington

Horticultural Society’s 125th anniversary Summer Show.

Do you have green fingers? Are you a

budding artist or a talented designer?

Or do you prefer tasty treats and have

expert cookery skills? If you have any of

these talents, the society would love

you to enter the Summer Show

competition. Details of all the classes

you can enter are explained in the letter

which was sent out by ParentMail

today. Please send your entry lists to Mrs Farrell by

Tuesday 10th July. You can enter all the classes, a few

classes or just one class, the judges would just like to see

your work.

There are trophies and prize money to be won. Good

luck everybody!!!
