No school-led clubs in week commencing 6th February

School Council: Toy Swap Shop

The School Council is launching their Toy Swap Shop! This will be taking place on Friday 10th February in the afternoon and run by the School Council. Best of all, everyone can get a new toy, puzzle, book or game for FREE! So how will this work?

• Any day during week 6 - week beginning 6/2/23, children can bring in a toy, book, puzzle or game that they no longer want but that is still in good condition. 

• Their name will be written on the back of a raffle ticket which can be kept safe by their class teacher.

• If you want to bring in more than 1 toy, that is fine but you will only be able to choose a second item at the end of the swap shop, not at your class' session. 

• A number can be written on the back of the raffle ticket to show how many toys were originally brought in.

•  All toys will be collected on Friday morning and a time slot will be given to each year group to attend the swap shop in the afternoon. 

• Each child will need their named raffle ticket to ‘buy’ a new item from the swap shop.

Thanks for your help with this.

Secondhand books and board games

Do you have any secondhand books or board games that you no longer need?  At Cheam Common, we would appreciate donations of any of these items. Books are always appreciated and board games are extremely useful, especially during wet play! Simply drop these into the office or ask your child to hand them to their class teacher. Thank you for your support in advance!

AFC Wimbledon Kids' Cup

Our Y5/6 Boys' Football team also represented Cheam Common at a Kids' Cup tournament at AFC Wimbledon. The boys showed togetherness and teamwork throughout the tournament, which culminated in them reaching the final, after winning a penalty shoot-out in the semi finals. The final was a tight match and ended up as a draw, meaning that this game also went to penalties. Cian's heroics in goal meant that the boys won the final and therefore the tournament. They will be representing AFC Wimbledon in the Kids' Cup Regional Finals in March. Well done, boys!

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
