London Maths Week: Map Design Winners

Miss Kelly was delighted to have received over a hundred entries to the London Maths Week: Map Design competition. 

CCJ Radio

Throughout the rest of the term, we will be inviting many children to have a slot on our radio station. 

Every week, four Green Ticket winners are chosen to take part in Friday's session.

🎵 Amazon Music 🎵

Pupils across the school started by requesting the songs they would like to be part of the radio station. If any parents would like to donate to our Amazon fund to purchase music for the radio then please gift any amount you can on an Amazon E-Gift Card to ccjradio@leoacademytrust.co.uk. We would be very grateful.

Summer 2 Curriculum Newsletters and Homework

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.

🧬 Science Quiz Finals: On Friday, our Science Quiz Team had travelled to Oxford to take part in the National Quiz Finals, against schools from across the country. Due to road closures and traffic in Oxford, the team had no choice but to turn back without taking part in the finals - along with manhy other teams. However, this did not deter our team! On Monday morning, Mildred, Nivan, Aadi and Bitna took part in a virtual version of the quiz. After a gruelling hour, our team managed to finish in 5th place, out of thirty schools. We are incredibly proud of their resilience and determination!

🏏 Surrey Cricket Day: On Monday, some Year 5 children travelled to the Kia Oval to take part in the Surrey Cricket Schools' Day. Children were given a tour of the world famous stands, took part in cricket-themed games, and met the Surrey Cricket mascot, Caesar the Lion.

🏅 Year 5 Olympiad: On Tuesday, it was Year 5 children's chancce to take part in our brand-new Olympiad event. All children represented a country from around the world by taking part in different sporting activities. The eventual winners were 5M, who were representing Brazil.

🔴🔵🟢🟡  Sports Days: On Wednesday, our Year 3, 4 and 5 children took part in their annual Sports Day, held at the Worcester Park Scout Hut. Events ranged from the classics (egg and spoon and sack races) as well as new favourites (speed bounce and the Under Over race). Massive thanks go to the following people...

Mr Greaves, Miss Mills and Miss Eldridge - for organising and running the event.

Our Cheam Common PTA - for providing well-deserved refreshments for our children to enjoy.

Cheam High and Year 6 Sports Leaders - for helping to run and score each station.

Parents - for their continuous support! A special thanks to those Year 3 parents who took part in the Mums and Dads races.

💷 Fiver Challenge: After weeks of planning, our Year 6 children launched our annual Fiver Challenge Enterprise Afternoon on Thursday. Each group was given £5 to create a business and that they did! Stalls ranged from the ever-popular Soak the Teacher, Beat the Goalie, face painting, nail painting, tattoo parlours, Lucky Dip and many, many more! All profits will go towards our Year 6s Leavers' Party in two weeks' time!

🎵 Choir and Orchestra Performance: On Thursday morning, we welcomed parents and families into school for the Summer Choir and Orchestra Performance.  Both families and children from across the school enjoyed performances from our choir, orchestra and individual musicians. Particular highlights were Lucas playing the electric guitar and Sonny playing the keyboard. Tippi's singing solo was also incredible. Well done, all!
