Federation of Lyon Park Schools Newsletter for the week beginning 5th January 2015 The value of the month for January is ‘Learning’ Welcome back and Happy New Year! I hope everybody had a good holiday and the children are well rested and eager to get back to work... Thank you, on behalf of all the staff, for your good wishes and kind gifts at the end of last term, they were very much appreciated. As usual the term will be very busy. An initial list of dates is on the reverse of this letter - please look out for additional dates in subsequent letters. Douglas Avenue Annex Parents may be aware that there is a huge shortage of primary school places in the local area. Many local schools have already expanded and/or opened an annex. Lyon Park governors have agreed to be responsible for a three class annex in Douglas Avenue. The annex will be for Year 5 and 6 pupils (to accommodate pupils who currently have no school place). Miss Mohan who is currently part of the EAL team at the school has been seconded to the school as teacher in charge and the school has appointed a small team of staff to teach in the annex. Lyon Park Pupil Wins MP Christmas Card Competition Huge congratulations to Darsh Kothari in Year 6, whose beautiful nativity scene was chosen by Barry Gardiner, MP for Brent North, as the winning design in his annual Christmas card competition. Darsh and his family have been invited to meet Barry Gardiner for tea, at the Palace of Westminster in the near future.
