St Jude’s World Book Day
Our pupils loved our belated World Book Day!
Year 2’s learning this week
Earlier in the half term we went on a school trip to Herne Hill to find
out more about our local area. We have used this information this
week to help us find out about littering as well as making our own
maps of Herne Hill. We really enjoyed making the keys and labelling
the different sections.
In maths we have been learning
about weight and mass, we
have been able to use the
balance scales. We have really
enjoyed working out whether
different items are lighter,
heavier or equal to each other
in weight.
In science we have been exploring our whole school topic of
nothing but nature and made food chain mobiles. We discussed the
role of the producer, primary consumer and secondary consumer
when making them too. We think they look great!
Last week we went to Margate
on a special school trip to help
us with our learning about the
seaside. We had the most
wonderful time playing in the sea
and building sandcastles. It
was a fun way to celebrate all
our hard work this year!
This week St. Jude’s were lucky enough to be visited by Brixton
Orchestra for an afternoon. We really enjoyed listening to them
play and loved dancing along!
In English we have been writing our own stories about
endangered animals. Year 2 have been busy creating story maps
and we can’t wait to publish our stories on St Jude’s World
Book Day celebrations this week! We have loved our learning
and final half term in Year 2.
Thank you to all parents and carers for making our exciting
trips happen this half term too!
Year 6’s Production
Year 6 Production!
On Wednesday 14th July, the Year 6 team put on a spectacular performance of The Lion King. It
was a roaring success! We are so proud of the children who worked so hard in their rehearsals
and brought such energy and professionalism to the stage.
Year 6’s Sailing Trip
Year 6 had a brilliant time yesterday on our sailing trip.
We learnt how to set up a boat ready for the water, we controlled rudders and rowed
them, and we played a number of games on the water. Some of us even jumped in at the
end!

PTA Update
Brixton Chamber Orchestra The PTA hope that everyone enjoyed the BCO street orchestra this week. It was such a joyous event and we were very sad that year 5 missed out. If anybody would like to contribute towards this event you can donate via our online fundraising page: https://peoplesfundraising.com/donation/st-jude-s-pta-donations-campaign A message from the PTA As the year draws to a close, I would like to thank everyone who has helped raise funds for the PTA over the last year. Without the ability to hold our usual ‘in person’ activities including the Christmas & summer fairs, Valentine’s disco and cake sales, it’s been a challenging year for fundraising, however the team have been amazing and very creative with online events and activities. At Christmas we had the Advent Challenge, raffle and sales of tea towels, bags and Christmas cards. Then came the online Valentine’s Disco from the comfort of our own homes which was great fun for all who joined. It was obviously very disappointing to have to cancel the Summer Fair this month, especially after Hellen's meticulous planning, but we have still managed to raise £712 from the raffle and £810 from the Peddar boards which is fantastic. Thank you to everyone who has helped to organise the events this year and thank you to all the parents who have supported the PTA and our virtual events. I am proud of what we have achieved in this unprecedented year. With the money the PTA has raised, we have been able to fund some lovely things for the children including some workshops from the Brockwell Community Greenhouses, the joyous Brixton Chamber Orchestra performance that happened this week and our biggest achievement, the beautiful makeover of the Nature Garden. Sarah Dyer and the team worked weekend after weekend to create a beautiful garden for the children to enjoy their outdoor learning in and it has already been well used. Thank you Sarah and everyone who helped out. We would also like to share the good news that the council have recently agreed to match fund our contribution of £6500 to fund a 'Green Screen'. This is an ivy plant that will grow and cover the school playground fences to help combat pollution from the busy roads. This has been an ongoing project we've been trying to achieve for several years now so it's great to finally have the council's agreement that they will fund and organise installation. We will update you on in-stallation dates when we have them. With the lifting of restrictions, we are already planning some fun events for next term. I have just agreed with Brockwell Park that the Fun Run can take place so please put Saturday 2nd October in your diaries. We will also have the Christmas events to look forward to. Finally, I would like to say thank you and farewell to the parents and children from Year 6. We will miss you and appreciate all of the support over the years. And welcome to the Reception parents and children joining in September. We are always looking for new families to get in-volved with the PTA so please look out for us. It's a great way to meet people in the school and help organise some fun events. If anyone has any ideas they'd like to share for future events please email [email protected] or we'd be delighted if anyone wants to join our WhatsApp group. Many thanks again & have a great summer.

Year 5 Trip to Brockwell Park: 20th July, Tuesday
End of term date: Wednesday 21st July
These are the pick up times on the last day of term. Reception and Year 1 - 1pm Year 2 and Year 3 - 1.15pm Year 4 and Year 5 - 1.30pm Year 6 - 1.45pm
As it stands at the moment, schools must send home the class bubble to isolate for
10 days when a positive case is confirmed.
If your child has a positive test result, please email the school Covid
communications email: [email protected]
Please state the timings of the symptoms.
The email will be checked daily and at 7.00pm on a Sunday evening, so that the
school receives the information soon enough to inform parents to keep their child at
home.
The admin team will be informed on Monday morning and will send out an email be-
tween 8.00am – 8.15am to parents to be advised to keep their
children at home.
The staff team will also be contacted swiftly so that they can plan the switch to re-
mote home learning.
I hope this guidance is helpful - should your child test positive over a weekend.
Regards,
Miss New
Headteacher
