Year 6 visit Wembley Stadium to watch England

On Tuesday, 25 lucky Year 6 children were excited to visit the Iconic Wembley Stadium to watch England play Ivory Coast as part of a friendly match.

Travelling up, children represented the school proudly as they took in the sights and sounds that London had to offer before taking their seats to watch the match unfold.

After a 3-0 victory to England, children were buzzing from watching such a spectacle. Thank you to Miss Kelly, Mrs Culver and Miss Brooks for accompanying the children for such a wonderful experience.

Science Week at Cheam Common Junior

Throughout last week, Cheam Common Junior celebrated Science with a range of fun and exciting activities and experiments as part of Science Week.

From learning how to make cheese, to creating their own tooth paste, examining fossils to how gravity and forces work, children had fun as they completed each activity and being awarded their Crest Science Bags.

Year 5 had a special treat where they had an assembly with a Climate Change expert, understanding the effects of global warming and out global footprints. Well done all!

Children awarded their Cycle Badges as part of the Spring Cycle Coach Club

After developing their cycling proficiency skills this term as part of the Brilliant Cycle Coach Club, our amazing Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 children have been awarded their Green Jersey Badge.

Learning how to ride safely is an important skill and these children have proven themselves to be competent and confident children. Well done to all those who took part!

Update - Current World Events in Ukraine

Ukraine is facing an urgent humanitarian crisis and as a result, I am sure you and your children are all saddened by the current events and may have questions or concerns. Many parents have enquired how they can help. Currently, there are several charities working tirelessly on the ground to offer support to the millions of people affected. We understand that it can be hard to know how to help so we have found some charity campaigns and fundraisers to donate to: Click Here
