THIS WEEK AT DEANSFIELD
Year 2 – Literacy Festival
This week, Year 2 children participated in the New Eltham Cluster
of Schools Literacy Festival. Their performance was based on the
book “The Snail and the Whale”, which they performed
wonderfully. I am sure everyone who saw the children’s
performance agreed with us that the children were amazing; we
are so proud of them. The Festival was opened by Michael Rosen,
the famous children’s author and former Children’s Laureate.
Michael also visited Deansfield before the Event to deliver a
session to teachers from the Cluster of schools. Michael told us
that “the displays and quality of learning are amazing at
Deansfield” which coming from a Children’s Laureate was very
high praise indeed! A very proud day for the creative community
of Deansfield.

Summer Open Evening
It was lovely to see so many parents at our Open Evening on
Wednesday giving you all the chance to meet current and future
children’s teachers and to see children’s learning first hand. We
hope you had a wonderful evening; we are so proud of the quality
of learning in evidence across the school.
Choir
The Choir performed at Crown Woods Music Festival earlier this
week and as usual the quality of their performance and high
standard of singing amazed everyone in the audience.
Attendance
Attendance this week was 97.5% and Class Award goes to Class
6S. Thank you for your support. As you know it is still so
important for your child to attend every day.
French phrase of the Week: Ou est Monsieur et Madame? Where is
Mr and Mrs?
Uniform
We will be writing to you next week about Uniform. We are
tightening up on uniform next year and will be making a few
small changes which includes asking all children to wear black
shoes and no trainers. Our uniform is important to us at
Deansfield as it conveys many messages about our expectations
and we want all children to be smart every day.

them to school and we are looking forward to their starting their
formal schooling in September.
