It has been lovely seeing all of the children back in school over the last two weeks.  Children in all year groups have settled into their new routines and have been busy either getting to know their new teachers or getting back up to speed with teachers that they have previously been taught by.

As this is the first newlsetter of the new school year, I would like to take this opportunity to formally welcome the new members of our staff.  Mr Lyne is a new teacher in Year 5, working in Rowling Class.  Our new sports team consists of Mr Nurse, Mr Sanders and Miss Harbison.  We also have a number of new teaching assistants and midday supervisors across both sites who are supporting various children in class and outside in the playground: Ms Fitzgerald, Mr Lucas, Mrs Thatavarty, Mr Phillips, Mrs Brooks and Mrs Srivatava.

I would also like to take this opportunity to say a massive "thank you" to the PTFA who have provided the funds for our new playground equipment on both sites (photos below).  The Reception playground on the Molesey Site now boasts a fantastic new climbing frame for the children to use and improve their motor skills.  On the Kingston Site, a new outdoor gym has already proven very popular with the children.  Both of these projects would not have been possible without the fundraising of the PTFA so, on behalf of the very lucky children of Cheam Park Farm, thank you!  This thanks extends also to all of the parents who support the fundraising efforts of our amazing PTFA by helping and/or visiting events that raise money for these projects.  We are already thinking about what the next project can be and I know that the PTFA are keen to share ideas of what we will be saving up for next in the near future.

Next, I would also like to say a big "thank you" to FM Conway who very generously added or refreshed and improved line markings on both sites just before the children returned to school.  Once again, photos are included below and you can see that the children have been very lucky to have these markings added to the playground in order to extend the amount of playtime activities available to them. 

Please remember that these fotnightly newsletters contain information about upcoming events and celebrates pupil achievements.  There is also a dates section via the link at the top of the newsletter, a dedicated section for each year group and a section with information about clubs, community events and information from outside providers.

Once again, welcome back to a new school year and thank you in advance from all of the staff for the support that you will be providing your children this year as we work together to provide the very best education for the children of Cheam Park Farm.

Mr Hudson.
