Children's Hospital Pyjamas Campaign!
Children's Hospital Pyjamas Campaign!
As we quickly approach the festive season, we have taken on board a new Christmas fundraiser. Our chosen charity for the festive season is ‘Children’s Hospital Pyjamas’. This amazing charity donates brand new pairs of pyjamas to poorly children in hospital over the Christmas period.
We aim to also donate to:
St Helier Hospital (Sutton)
The Royal Marsden Hospital (Sutton)
St George’s Hospital (Tooting)
Kingston Hospital (Kingston Upon Thames)
If you would like to help us support this charity, we are asking for either donations of brand new pyjamas or money that will go towards buying new pyjamas. To confirm, we are only able to accept BRAND NEW pyjamas due to the vulnerability of the children who will be receiving the pyjamas. Unfortunately, second hand pyjamas are not accepted. The pyjamas can be any size ranging from baby sizes - 10 years old. Alternatively, money donations are also welcomed and will be used to purchase new pyjamas to go towards our donations.
The deadline for all donations is Monday 14th November. Please hand pyjamas into the school office or Miss Beagle’s classroom, 4CB. Cash donations will be accepted at the gate each morning.
We hope that we can count on your generosity on this occasion as we are pleased that we are able to support a local charity, as well as our local hospitals.

On Thursday night, our Year 3 children had their very first taste of residentials at Cheam Common Juniors - by sleeping over at school! Throughout the day, they took part in a Stone Age lesson using our Now Press Play resources. In the evening, they enjoyed creating some Stone Age art, building LEGO settlements and even toasting some marshmallows on the campfire! We all enjoyed pizza for dinner, as well as some doughnuts that were kindly donated by Samuel's family, to celebrate his birthday. After watching a film, we made our beds, brushed our teeth and went to bed!

‘Small Change, Big Difference’ Parent Group for parents of children with a diagnosis of autism.'
We are also looking to host another Small Change, Big Difference course with Adapt to Learn. For those that are unfamiliar with this course, we run this as an alternative to the Early Bird programme. Some information about this is below.
If you are interested in attending this course, please email: sutton@nas.org.uk and we'll be in touch.
The aim is to empower parents, supporting them to help their children by developing an in-depth understanding of autism. Taking a positive approach, we will explore, share and discuss practical strategies to help develop communication skills, pre-empt and manage behaviour and gain confidence and resilience.
During the sessions, parents will be given the opportunity to make connections, gain support and feel less isolated.
Each course comprises of four x 1.5-hour sessions and will cover a range of topics.
