It has been another busy week at school and it looks as if it

is going to get more hectic as we race through the next five

weeks.

Well done to the Year 1 children who showed their teachers

how well they know their phonics this week.

We have had lots of children attending various sporting events and

it was fantastic to hear from teacher from another school how

well behaved and polite the children representing Mission Grove

were. We had children in Year 6 getting their cycling proficiency

badge to show they know how to ride their bikes safely on the

road. Thank you to Cycle confident who provide this training for us

free of charge.

We have been moving furniture around on the south site getting

ready for the new Reception children in September, who will be

visiting next week. From September we will have Nursery right

through to Year 6 on the South site. To make sure that we have a

classroom for everyone the children will be staying in the rooms

that they are in currently. The new Reception class will start in the

mobile with Nursery. Nursery will be in the right hand classroom

and Reception will be in the left. I hope that all makes sense.

Community Gardens—South

The children have done a wonderful job and with the kind donation of plants from the council, the planters

are beginning to look beautiful.

The middle planter is very special as it is full of edible plants. What we hope will happen is that people, and

us at school, cut small piece of the herbs and plants and use them in their cooking. Hopefully, if only small

amounts are cut the plants will flourish and we will have plenty for everyone. We do need everyone helping

us to make sure that people of the public look after them too.

We couldn't do all the amazing things we do without parental support, if you

feel that you want to get more involved we have a position on our governing

body for a parent representative. This is a great opportunity to learn more

about what is involved in the running of the school and sharing the views of

parents. If you are interested and would like any more details, please feel free

to come and speak to me , or email on

office@missiongrove.org.uk with the subject parent governor. If we have a

few interested parties we will hold an election.

Well done to Sparrow class for their assembly on Thursday. The shared lots of information that they

have learnt about the Ancient Egyptians. It was quite surprising to see what they pulled out of the

body before embalming it.

We had this lovely message:

Dear Pupils, teachers and parents and carers

I am so sorry I am not able to be with you tonight to see the wonderful work you have pro-

duced.

For me to be at City Hall a few months ago, and to be with the Mayor of London when he

announced Waltham Forest as the first London Borough of Culture, was the absolute high-

light of my career and I am so excited and impressed that your school have taken up the

ideas with such enthusiasm. To be honest I can just about create a video on my phone, so

to know that pupils at such a young age have been involved in directing, acting and produc-

ing films has somewhat blown me away.

I really hope that you have enjoyed team work, discovered your own creativity, and got to be

better at technology than I could ever hope to be. Some of the parents and carers here

might remember, like I do, when you had to wait for photos to come through the letterbox

(get them to tell you about it later).

You should be very very proud of the work you have done and I am very very proud of you all.

Have an amazing evening and I hope to meet all of you at some of the

exciting events we have planned for our Borough of Culture year 2019.

Thank you

Cllr Clare Coghill, Leader of the Council
