• Easter Bonnet Parade

  Thu 24 Mar 2016 K Cartwright

  On the last day of term Nursery, Reception and Year 1 got together for an Easter bonnet parade.  The bonnets were truly fantastic and really showcased the children's creativity.

  We saw a giant egg, some magnificent baskets and even a hat that lit up!

  The parade was a great success even though the rain prevented us from having it outside.  

  Thank you to all the parents who came along to support and for joining in with traditional songs such as Chick Chick Chicken and Hot Cross Buns!

  Thanks to Mrs Marshall for organising the prizes and to all the children for joining in and being creative!

  

• Elfrida Supports Sport Relief

  Fri 18 Mar 2016 K Cartwright

  On Friday 18th March, Elfrida did their bit for Sports Relief!  Many people dressed up as their favourite sports person and every class had a go at completing an exciting and challenging obstacle course.  We saw ballerinas, Taekwondo stars, cheerleaders, footballers and rugby players to name a few! 

  Thank you to everyone who brought in their pound for dressing up, as a school we raised almost £300 for a very good cause.  This could pay for 25 children to receive life saving vaccines in Africa.

  Thank you for your generosity.

  

• Meeting the Mayor

  Fri 04 Mar 2016 K Cartwright

  On Friday 4th Mayor, the Year 5 school councillors went with Miss Cartwright to meet the mayor of Lewisham.  We were allowed to sit in the council chambers and we had to speak to 4 other Lewisham schools about what we would do if we were the Young Mayor for the day.

  We then sat in the mayor's private parlour and we got to ask Steve Bullock some very difficult questions.  We asked about the potential closure of Lewisham Hospital, how he would ensure green spaces for children with the new building works in Lewisham, and how he was going to help prevent crimes in Bellingham.  Although he didn't really give us any straight answers we certainly made him think!  We clearly have some politicians in the making!

  

• Book Week

  Fri 04 Mar 2016 K Cartwright

  This week the whole school celebrated book week because it was World Book Day on March 3rd.

  Lots of exciting events happened throughout the school.  We had stories read to us in many different languages, lots of parents came in to read with children and make book marks to take away for immediate use and Snow White even came to visit Year 3!

  We ended the week with dressing up and the school was a rainbow of colours as children celebrated classic stories like Alice in Wonderland and newer ones such as Horrid Henry. 

  Lots of fun was had by all, including the teachers, all of whom dressed up too.  There were Tigers, princesses and even an Oompa Loompa.  Ms Newton did assembly dressed as a giant Peach from the classic Roald Dahl book!

  All classes took part in a competition to turn their book corners into something exciting.  See some of them below.

  Don't forget the reading challenge that Miss Cartwright set on Monday.  Get your completed football pitches and sponsorship forms to the office by Friday 18th March.  (Extra copies are available to download below too!)   Click here

   

  

• Elfrida Dance at Lewisham Live!

  Thu 03 Mar 2016 K Cartwright

  On 2nd March 2016 Mrs Lawson's dance group performed at Catford Theatre!  They took part in an event with a lot of other Lewisham schools and really did themselves proud.

  Their dancing and their behaviour was excellent and the show was fantastic.  Many of the parents were in the audience and were part of the great cheer that went up as Elfrida finished their dance.  The music got everyone clapping and a lot of fun was had by all.  Thank you to Mrs Lawson for her hard work in preparing the dancers and for giving up her Wednesday evening for the performance!
