Congratulations to everyone in Key Stage 1 for delivering a sparkling Winter show! The children in Years 1 and 2 have been practicing with great diligence and performed an uplifting play called ‘Santa’s Hat’ in which Father Christmas loses his hat and his elves set off on a mission to find it. The children sang beautifully and delivered their lines with confidence and charm. A big thank you to parents and carers for practicing lines with their children. A special thank you to those who helped with the set, and huge well done to the Year 1 and 2 teams!

Last week’s Frost fair was a huge success, with the school community coming together to celebrate the festive season and to raise money for the school. Children, parents and carers enjoyed a range of fun activities and games, delicious food and competitions. Everyone who attended had a lovely time and left feeling a little warmer inside. A massive thank you to everyone who contributed items or helped out with stalls. A special thank you to Ms. Gemmell for organising the event so efficiently.

This term teachers at Charles Dickens Primary School have been honing their P.E. teaching skills under the expert tutelage of Southwark Gymnastics. Staff have developed their teaching so that they feel more confident to deliver high quality P.E. lessons that meet the needs of all the children. The children have been enjoying the sessions massively and the results are a joy to see!

The assembly hall is looking wonderfully festive. Our Christmas tree is covered with stars made by the children and shooting stars adorn the walls. What better setting for our stars of the week! These are the children who impressed their teachers with their hard work, their creativity, their kindness, and their resilience. A huge well done to our friends of the week too. What will you do to be a star of the week next time around?
