All the children in Reception and KS1 enjoyed a pantomime in school today. They watched a performance of Dick Whittington which tells the story of a man who sets off from his hometown to London in search of fame and fortune. Everyone really enjoyed watching and joining in the performance - it was a wonderful start to the last week of Autumn term.

Brilliant Parents are currently in a transitional period with the Parent Carer Champion programme to facilitate work on improving the service, to better support Hillingdon families. However, please know they are here and will be continuing the Parent Carer Champion Programme in the New Year. A huge part of the programme is the delivery of the peer-to-peer support which exists through their amazing volunteers who want to give back, as they themselves are experiencing or have experienced the myriads of challenges faced by parents and carers today.

Brilliant Parents are currently recruiting for their next cohort of volunteers and are reaching out to see if you would like the opportunity to receive training that will benefit you and your family, whilst also providing emotional support to another parent/ carers.

We have a wonderful visit from Chertsey Toy Museum. We were able to explore toys from the past with range of real and replica toys from 120-60 years ago. We also looked at how different toys work and how they have changed over time.

Everyone came into school today wearing their favourite Christmas jumper. There were lots of lovely Christmas jumpers - there were lots of red jumpers, some sparkly jumpers and even some light up, flashing jumpers! At lunchtime, everyone enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch. There were all the Christmas trimmings including turkey, roast potatoes and yummy vegetables. 

Some children in Year 2 attended the Change 4 Life festival at Park Academy today. They took part in lots of different sporting activities such as Tic Tac Toe, playing with a parachute and they practiced team building skills by helping each other to complete a task. The children really enjoyed all of the activities and developed an understanding of the importance of an active lifestyle. 

Our Year 1 children enjoyed their visit to St. Mary's Church in Hayes. They met Father Wheeler and looked at features of a church. Some of us were very impressed with the size of the organ!
