Wishing you a wonderful winter break and a happy New Year! We look forward to welcoming children back on Tuesday 6th January 2026.

 

Please see below some reminders and key dates for next term.

Whole School

Pencil Cases

Your child’s class teacher will have sent your child home with their pencil case (Y1-Y6). Please could you take the time to look through these and restock them with anything that is missing. We are noticing that valuable learning time is being lost because children are having to search for or share glue sticks or to ask for pencils and pens (which the school only has a limited supply of). Please make sure that everything is named so that if it is not put away, we can give it back to your child.

What should be in a pencil case: 3 sharp penicils, a whiteboard pen, a selection of colouring pencils, a glue stick, a sharpener, a pair of scissors, 2 handwriting pens (Y4,5,6 only).

Y4, 5, 6 Biblio-Buzz Participants

Attached is the schedule for when the children need to read each of the books by. A paper copy was also given to the children. If you did not order your books from the school, you can still buy the set at the discounted price at Muswell Hill Children’s Bookshop, or Pickled Pepper books in Crouch End. We have had a huge uptake this year of children wanting to take part. Please remember that your child will only be chosen to attend the awards ceremony if they read all of the books and attend the book clubs.

 

Year 4

Times Tables

The children in Y4 have spent the past seven weeks of term learning and practising their times tables. Many of them are not yet fully secure on all of these important facts and it is really important that you keep on practising these at home. If the children do not practise with you at home, then they are likely to forget them. There have been some games shared to google classroom that you could use to practise these. Additionally, if you were to search for ‘Coldfall’ on Kahoot! You could find some interactive quizzes that we played in class that the children really enjoyed.
