It was such a pleasure to see everyone who could attend the 'Meet The Teacher' sessions this week! Your involvement plays a big part in creating a positive learning experience for your child, and we’re grateful for your time and engagement.

For those who couldn’t make it, or if you'd like to review any of the details, we’ve made the presentation slides available for easy access. Simply click the link below to view them.

Thank you for being a part of our school community—we look forward to a successful and exciting year ahead!

MEET THE TEACHER SLIDES 

We’re excited to announce that Vauxhall Primary School will be hosting a Bike Market! This is a fantastic opportunity for families to buy affordable, quality-checked second-hand bikes or sell outgrown ones, all while promoting a healthy, eco-friendly way to get around.

Event Details: 📅 Date: 18th September  2024

🕒 Time: 10.00am and 3.20pm

📍 Location: Vauxhall Primary School Playground

Whether you're looking to purchase a bike, sell a bike, or just want to browse and join in the fun, we’d love to see you there! For more information, feel free to contact the school office.

How it works:

Donate your outgrown, unwanted bikes in the morning 10.00am -  Peddle My Wheels will spend the day getting them ready. Proceeds from the sale of donated bikes will go back to your school.

After school - 3.20pm - you can buy a serviced, affordable, used bike (you can pay by cash or card).

Let’s make cycling accessible to all—see you at the Bike Market! 🚲

StreetTag

StreetTag is back! 

StreetTag is an app that encourages children and their families to be more active and to travel sustainably to school by turning the world around them into a virtual playground.  You earn points in the app by walking, running, scooting or cycling to the virtual tags that have been placed throughout their community.  

You are invited to join the Lambeth StreetTag School’s Leader Board download and use the app. There are three seasons planned; points earned during each seasons by everyone who has signed up to the leaderboard will be added to the total for the school with the following prizes to be awarded each season to the top five schools:  

1st Place: £500, 2nd Place: £350, 3rd Place: £150, 4th Place: £100, 5th Place: £50 (to be awarded as sports vouchers).

The new season will run from  October 3rd to December 2nd.  

Last season, thanks to all your your hard work, determination and active travelling, Vauxhall Primary finished 5th place!

The 'WakeUpWednesday' guides empower and equip parents, carers and educators with the confidence and practical skills to be able to have informed and age-appropriate conversations with children about online safety, mental health and well-being, and climate change. 

Each week we will post a relevant guide to support our school community's knowledge and understanding of how to keep safe online and new things to be aware of. 

This week is an online safety focus on 'Supporting Children to Manage Conflict Effectively'. Please click on the PDF to enlarge it.
