Dear Parents and Carers,

What a week. The children have been amazing in the heat and we are exceptionally proud of them. They have enjoyed the paddling pools, sprinklers, and the chance to dip their feet in cold water to keep cool. They have managed brilliantly. Thank you for all your support with the early closings this week. We also really appreciate your kind words about this week. We are looking forward to returning to normal on Monday. There will be no class newsletters this week due to the unusual circumstances.

Thank you for all your donations for the Summer Fair and for signing up to help. We are really looking forward to it. Thanks to everyone who is helping to set up, run a stall and then help tidy up. All help really makes a difference and we look forward to seeing you there.

Betty Layward enjoyed a special Windrush Lunch on Monday as part of our celebrations of the Windrush generation and their lasting contribution to Britain. The menu featured delicious Caribbean-inspired dishes, including patties from Brixton, giving children the chance to taste wonderful flavours. 

This week we had the pleasure of hearing singing performances from Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3. The children had been working extremely hard to perform at the Hackney Music Festival, but due to the weather, we held the performances at school. It was a delight to hear the children's incredible voices and a variety of songs. Well done to all the children involved, and thank you to the parents and carers who came to support the events. 

Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you at the Summer Fair tomorrow,

Jessica

Headteacher
