Congratulations to our stars and friends of the week! This week’s winners really impressed their teachers with their wonderful attitude to learning. What will you do this week to try and win? A big well done to our very responsible librarians who have been chosen to help out in the library at lunch times. Also many congratulations to our gold reading certificate recipients in key stage two. They each win an impressive 50 house points!
It’s safe to say that if there is one thing the children at Charles Dickens Primary School all have in common, it’s a love of books. From Nursery up to Year 6, every child either reads or is read to on a daily basis. Oliver class in Year 2 are no exception as these photos show.
A huge well done to everyone in Year 6 for performing a joyful, highly educational assembly today. Year 6 recently spent a week on a farm in Gloucestershire where, in their spare time, they wrote and practiced this assembly. Parents and children were treated to rapping, dancing, singing and an amusing history of St Thomas à Becket – all performed in wellington boots of course! There was even a nod to the Canterbury Tales. Congratulations to Mr. Windle, Mr. Bakis, Mrs. Taylor and of course all the children in Year 6.
Many congratulations to both our stars and friends of the week. The winning children this week received certificates for a range of achievements across the curriculum, from great writing to wonderful scientific drawings of fish! What will you do this week to try and win?
Every Friday morning the children at Charles Dickens Primary School have been enjoying a series of cultural assemblies. Last Friday Mr. Young shared his knowledge and love of the art of Keith Haring. During the assembly the children produced their own sketch in the style of the pioneering American artist. Our own head teacher even modelled for the children!
Last term, Tiny Tim children enjoyed listening and acting out the story ‘We’re going on a Bear hunt’.
Today two boys independently chose to read the book to each other, taking turns in turning the page, acting out and telling the story.
Congratulations to everyone in Havisham Class for delivering a highly entertaining assembly on the themes of perseverance, empathy and kindness. The children performed their lines with real confidence, sang with joy, and acted with panache. The audience were treated to a reworking of Michael Jackson’s ‘Man in the Mirror’ and the children even displayed their beautiful artwork depicting acts of kindness they had experienced from classmates. Very well done to the children and to Miss Khan for a wonderful celebration of learning.
Key stage one recently enjoyed a highly educational school trip to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. The children visited pirate school and explored the museum looking for treasure! Here is a slideshow of Bumble Class’s day.
