Penshurst Primary School

WEEK 4 - Friday 27 September 2024

We have finally reached the end of the Year 4 swimming lessons (taking place over the last 2 weeks), and I am told that all have had a wonderful time.  

Also this week, flu vaccinations were administered to children from Reception to Year 6. If your child missed their vaccination for whatever reason, a follow up session is due to take place shortly - further information to follow. 

On Tuesday after school, I had the pleasure of attending the Year 6 Boys Football tournament at Wolfreton. Whilst we didn’t win the overall tournament, I was so impressed with how well the boys played and how they cooperated impeccably as a team. I had a little tear in my eye when I witnessed Blu from Year 6 shake the hand of the organiser and thank him before we left. Now that’s sportsmanship! 

We have had a few reported cases of headlice in our Reception class over the last 2 weeks. Please check your child’s hair and treat accordingly if you notice anything. 

This week, I had to check the CCTV camera footage. Whilst doing so, I witnessed parents scooting back down the path and somebody vaping. Unfortunately, I could not identify them to address in person, so this is a gentle reminder that both of these are prohibited as aim to set a good example for our learners. Thank you for your cooperation.  

Next week, please remember that individual photographs will be taken on Thursday 3rd October. Please refer to your previous letter for more details.  

I hope you have a super weekend and I look forward to seeing you next week.

Please accept our apologies as due to staffing issues, Mrs Smith was unable to monitor the cycle to school event this week. Further information and rearranged dates will be sent out shortly.

I hope you have a super weekend and I look forward to seeing you next week.
