On Tuesday 20th June, we will be running our Sports Day at the Scout Hut.

Year 3 and 4: Approximately 9:30 - 11:30am

Year 5 and 6: Approximately 1-3pm

Children should wear a top of their house colour.

Elm = Green Willow = Yellow Oak = Red Pine = Blue

They should also bring a water bottle and weather-dependent clothing and items (e.g. suncream, sunhat). Parents are welcome to come along and spectate. However, we do ask that they stay in their allocated area for safeguarding reasons.

Parents have been emailed with a reminder of their child's house and corresponding colour. 

The Friends Summer Fair is coming up soon - Saturday, 15th July.  We have a fun day of games and activities planned for our wonderful Cheam Common families and we hope you will join us.

In order to make the day happen though, we need your help!  We are looking for volunteers to help us set up, run the stalls and help clear up at the end.  

The fair will run from 11am - 2pm.  Set up will be from 9am and clear-up will be once the fair is finished.  

Please use the sign-up sheet here https://volunteersignup.org/3YRXM to indicate the slots you are able to cover.  They are split into sessions of one hour but if you can do more, please sign up for all you can offer.

When choosing your slot, note that the KS1 and KS2 choirs will be performing for about 20mins at 12.15 so if your child is singing, you may wish to bear that in mind when choosing your slots. If your Year 6 child wishes to sign up to help run a stall, they are very welcome to do so but we ask that you join them also.

To say thank you for helping us on the day, all volunteers will be entered into their own raffle! If you have any questions, please contact us at Friends_CCA@outlook.com.

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.

‘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.
