Oof! Well that was a cold one! Thank goodness it is due to get a little warmer over the weekend and into next week. 

As I stood on the playground one lunchtime in fluffy boots, a padded coat, scarf up to my eyeballs and gloves (I decided to leave the hot water bottle at home), I was amazed to see a handful of learners remove their coats and play in their shirt sleeves like it was July. This made me feel rather old but it also made me realise what a resilient bunch of children we have! 

Once again, it has been a busy week at Penshurst: 

• The Eco/PFA Book Sale took place on Monday night, and we appreciate all who participated and supported this wonderful event. 

• This week, Year 5 and Year 6 learners participated in Hatecrime Workshops led by the PCSO, which provided valuable learning on important social issues. 

• Today, we held PFA Comfy Feet Friday, where students were encouraged to wear comfy footwear. As always, thank you for your support and participation with these events. 

Looking ahead to next week: 

• The PFA Christmas Fair will be held on Wednesday, and we’re excited for the festive activities and opportunities to get into the holiday spirit. We hope to see you there!
