Autumn term
Indigo2 trip
The first day of term will be Thursday
3rd September 2015
On the evening of Thursday 9th July pupils in Key Stage 2
attended a concert at the O2. The opportunity was given to
us by the ‘Charlton Athletic community Trust’ after they had
heard one of our pupil’s sing at the ‘One goal’ launch. Zuriel,
who is a pupil in year 6 agreed to sing at the event and
impressed the organisers so much that he was asked to
perform with Rixton at the concert.
Summer Fair
A very successful Summer Fair was
held after school on Thursday 3rd July.
There were a range of stalls including
face painting, bouncy castles, pedal
karts, splat the rat, spin the wheel,
tombola and spin the wheel. As always
the food and drink stall also proved to
be very popular!
There were some impressive
performances in the arena from some
of the pupils who attend Band, Ballet,
Zumba and Taekwon-Do clubs
We would like to give a massive thank
you to the following companies for
their generous donations to the raffle.
Asda Charlton, The Cornerstone Café,

We would also like to thank ‘Charlton
Athletic Community Trust’ for lending
us their inflatable football goal for the
penalty shoot-out.
With five coaches travelling from the school and over 360
tickets being handed out to pupils, family and friends of the
school it was an amazing atmosphere with children and staff
had an amazing evening. A big thank you goes to all the
adults who helped the occasion to be a big success.
Zuriel has been performing as
Michael Jackson in ‘Thriller Live’ at
the West End for two months
already and year 6 pupils have
been to watch his inspirational
performance. We wish him luck as
he goes on the European tour with
the ‘Thriller Live’ cast over the
Summer.
Charlton Athletic Stadium visit
On Thursday 11th June we were invited to the ‘One goal’
launch at the Charlton Athletic Stadium. ‘One goal’ involves
children and young people from across London, with an aim
of using sport to motivate, inspire and involve young people
for the better. The children represented the school brilliantly
and were complemented on their excellent behaviour.

The performance was very professionally
done. Well done to everyone involved
both on stage and behind stage.
Key Stage 2 had their Sports Day at the Woolwich

here and it proved to be a successful and memorable
successful. A highlight of the event was the house colour
relay where all pupils were cheering on their house colour.
Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage had their Sports Days

head race.

On Wednesday 24th June Years 3 and 4 took part in the
Greenwich Sportathon at Sutcliffe Park. This is an
athletics event that involves all the primary schools in the

schools in the borough. The tournament was a big
success and we are planning to hold a similar
