Another busy week at Kilmorie. 

Monday started with a fantastic Indian Dance session for children in the Early Phase.  The children enjoyed learning the Bollywood dance moves and styles.  Dance has been a theme this week; I was put through my paces when I taught Year 3 on Wednesday as Crystal’s class explored the theme of forces in their dance session.   Educational visits continued this week – Shipra's class visited Deptford Creek for their topic on rivers. 

One of our Kilmorie Qualities is independence and we would like our children to be independent in both their learning but also in their life skills.  We have noticed a number of parents ‘parking’ their child’s scooter or bicycle.  Can we ask that the children, certainly those in Years 3 to 6, store their own vehicles. 

Senior Leader Assembly. 

The focus of Monday’s senior leader assembly was World Earth Day. I spoke to the children about the history of World Earth Day and the motivation behind its inception in 1970.  I spoke about this year’s focus - “Planet Vs Plastics”.  I showed his age by talking about the days when supermarkets gave out free plastic bags.  I discussed the ecological impact that plastic bags have on the world and the motivation behind reusing shopping bags today.  I proudly wore my Arsenal strip but highlighted that the top itself was made from recycled materials. 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! 

Have a lovely weekend, 

Dennis

In this week's Celebration Assembly, we celebrated... 

 

Finding Nemo 

This years production will involve Lower Phase Choir, years 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. As we did last year, the children will be split across the two days and this will be as follows;

 

Tuesday 9th July - Lower Phase Choir, Sarah C's class, year 4 and year 6.

Wednesday 10th July - Lower Phase Choir, Shona's class, year 3 and year 5.

Please note that Kate's class will be split across the two dates and parents/carers will be informed as to what day their child is performing.

As soon as tickets are on sale we will let you know. We will also be asking for your support in terms of chaperoning, hair, make-up, costumes, set and props in the next couple of weeks, so please keep an eye out for that.

Thank you so much for all your support. 

The Children Centre will be closed on Thursday 2nd May 2024 due to it being used as a polling station for the forthcoming local elections. 

If your child in reception attends Breakfast Club on this date, please bring them to the Community Room through the main school gate / office.  If your reception child attends WRAP after-school, please collect from the nursery entrance through the normal reception gate on Elsinore Road. 

Tully Update

Now that Tully has been to visit most classes and is more used to the school environment, there may be times during the school day when your child/children have closer contact with Tully.  

Please do let us know as soon as possible if you have any objections to this by contacting info@kilmorie.lewisham.sch.uk FAO Tully Update and we will keep a record of this.

School Trip Packed Lunches

As a reminder all packed lunches for trips need to be ordered by the deadline set out in the wufoo form, after this closing date you will need to ensure that you provide your child with a packed lunch. 

Our Early Phase Garden Party is slowly creeping up on us. Alongside Friends of Kilmorie, the Early Phase staff have some lovely games and activities planned for the day. 

We have about 20 more volunteer slots to fill, please do give just one hour of your time to help make this event a huge success. 

You can sign up here  - volunteersignup.org/8WYY9

Even if you no longer have a child in the Early Phase, you are still more than welcome to volunteer. We never say no to help.

Alongside the games and stalls, we are hoping to create a craft area for children and parents. There are a few bits on our Amazon wishlist that you could purchase to help support this. Please have a look at the link.
