A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Parenting in the Digital Age talk on Wednesday. The session was both informative and eye-opening, shedding light on the realities of smartphones and social media for children and teenagers. A special thank you goes to Louise Field and Camilla Hadland for organising this valuable event.  

For those who were unable to attend, please keep an eye out for further updates.  

Papaya also host webinars throughout the year. This Wednesday they will be delivering a parent webinar titled The Power of Play: Rediscovering Childhood in the Digital Age. The session will explore the importance of play in childhood development and wellbeing, as well as the impact that screens can have on children.

Reception

Lottie has settled in fabulously to her new classroom - she is an absolute superstar!

Edward is trying so hard to learn his sounds. He also has a wonderful pencil grip which allows him to form his letters beautifully. 

Year 1

Emmie is a super writer  - this week she showed her skills writing about space and he first moon landing in fantastically neat script.

Year 2

Krishika has produced amazing independent writing this week, using all the resources in the environment to uplevel her work!

Year 3

Elizabeth has been pushing herself in all her lessons this week but she particularly impressed with her poster which used technical language to explain the layers of the earth. 

Year 4

Ava always tries her best. She is a delight to have in the classroom  - kind, thoughtful and enthusiastic to learn! 

Year 5

Frankie and Joe are in the Gold Book this week for their outstanding achievements in cross country running. All of our Year 5 children took part in a competitive race around Chorleywood Common alongside local schools. In the boys’ event, Joe secured first place and Frankie came a close second – a fantastic and well-deserved result for them both.  

There was further success in the team events, with both the boys and girls victorious in the relays. A huge well done to Team Year 5 for their brilliant effort and determination!  

Year 6

Grayson shows such quiet determination in all he does - always being his best self and pushing himself where he can. Reliable and trustworthy, Grayson can always be counted upon!

Time passes by

like a bird flying in the sky

Still I sit on a mossy rock

Hope runs in my veins

like a marathon runner

it never gives up

I've waited an eternity
