Year 4 visit Kew Gardens

On Tuesday, our Year 4 children visited Kew Gardens to attend a special Rainforest Workshop. The children learned about how chocolate is made and the journey that it goes on to reach our kitchen cupboards! We also spent time exploring the gardens and learning about the different plants that grow in the rainforest.

Year 5 visit the Natural History Museum

On Monday, Year 5 visited the Natural History Museum to launch their new topic: Existing, Endangered and Extinct! It was an incredible immersive experience and it was incredible to see the different types of creatures that have walked the planet.

Young Carers at Cheam Common

At Cheam Common Junior Academy, we hold a weekly small group session to support children across the school who fulfil the role of ‘Young Carer’ because they have a sibling or parent with serious health issues, special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

We want to celebrate the important role our Young Carers play, but also recognise that they may face challenges and pressures not shared by the general school population.

The group meets during assembly time and is led by Mrs Hart.

If you would like your child to take part please complete this form.

If you have any questions about the group, please feel free to contact us at ccjsend@leoacademytrust.co.uk
