Individual class photos

On Wednesday 18th September, your child will be having their individual school photos taken. Please ensure that children are wearing their full school uniform, including a school jumper or cardigan. 

The children will also have their photos taken with their siblings in the school later in the day.

Does your child have a sibling at Cheam Common Infants?

Come along to the Cheam Common Junior Academy hall on Wednesday 18th September from 8-8:45am, to have your CCI/CCJ sibling photo taken. This is always a popular occasion so please turn up earlier than usual.

Young Writers Competition: 'Wonderverse Poetry'

Throughout the year the Young Writers host a range of competitions for 7-12 year olds. This time round, the theme is Wonderverse Poetry! Wonderverse Poetry is an exciting, fun way to engage 7-12 year-olds with creative writing by inspiring them in different themes.

Children will be inspired to delve into their imaginations to write a poem about any topic. Using any style or technique, they can write about incredible worlds or fantasy creatures, express their inner thoughts or emotions, describe their favourite people, places or hobbies, or write about your class topic. Watch this video to find out more.

The opportunity to see their work in print will inspire our pupils to get writing, and everyone chosen for publication will receive a certificate of merit. There are also fantastic prizes to be won, including an incredible £1,000 for the school! 

At the end of the last academic year, we opened up the competition of Ancient Adventures across the school. We are pleased to announce that 64 entries have been chosen and will be published in the book: Ancient Adventures - Story Time. Successful entrants will be informed on prizes etc later when more information is received.

Let's take our pupils into the Wonderverse today! If this sounds like something you are interested in, speak to your learning council representative, your class teacher or Miss Holloway. 

Closing Date: Friday 25th October 2025.

🎨 Request for donations: Old T-shirts for Art lessons 🖌

As part of our ongoing efforts to encourage creativity and hands-on learning in our art classes, we are in need of some additional supplies. To help protect the children's clothing during art activities, we would like to kindly ask for donations of old shirts or t-shirts that can be used as art aprons. Ideally, long-sleeved shirts would be most suitable, but any size or style is greatly appreciated!

If you have any old shirts or t-shirts at home that you no longer need, we would be grateful if you could send them into school with your child to give to Miss Maclean (4M).

Thank you in advance for your generosity and continued support.

Miss Maclean

Our Book Wishlist

Children across the school wrote a wishlist of the different books that they would like to see in their library and their classrooms. 

We have collated this wishes and have put together an Amazon Wish List, which can be found here. If parents and families wish, there are over a hundred books that children are desperate to read on the list and these can be ordered as a present to our school. Alternatively, if you notice a book on the list that your children no longer read, we are always grateful for any donations!

It has also been suggested by our children that, on a birthday, rather than bringing sweets in for their classmates, children choose a book on the list that they would like to donate to their class. This also falls in line with our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles. On the order, there is an option to leave a message - you can specify which class the book is for. As ever, we recognise that money can be tight so please note that this is entirely optional. Any support is always appreciated.

Check out what our children have been up to this week at Cheam Common Junior Academy!
