Author Visit – Ann Bryant

Popular children’s author, Ann Bryant, will be visiting school on Thursday 1st March 2012 as part of World Book Day.  Ann will be running workshops with the children and discussing her life as an author. 

After school, at 3:15 pm, there will be a “Meet the Author Book Signing Event”.  Ann will be giving a short talk to parents and children.  There will also be the opportunity for children to purchase books which will be dedicated with their name and signed by Ann. 

Please find attached a list of books by Ann. For more information about Ann Bryant, and to see a list of her books see www.annbryant.co.uk.  Please use this as a discussion point with the children. If you do decide to purchase a book, these will be available on the day.Thank you for your support. Miss Cleanthi (Literacy Co-ordinator)

Heavers in the news!

There is a fantastic article about us and our recent Ofsted inspection, by journalist Gareth Davies,  in this weeks Croydon Advertiser. We are immensely proud of the outcome of the inspection, which is the result of a lot of hard work by the children, parents, carers and staff at Heavers Farm.

Parent and Carer Travel Survey

We are aware that there are a number of issues for parents, carers, staff and children when travelling to and from school. There have been the endless road works, the re-routing of local buses and the ongoing issue of too many cars in Dinsdale Gardens at the start and end of the school day!  In order to improve this we are working with the Local Authority to find ways to make travelling to and from school easier and safer for everyone.

We would really like to hear your views.

We are carrying out a survey to find out more about how everyone travels to and from school and the problems they face. It would really help us if you could complete this survey for us by clicking the link here. We are also sending home paper copies this week.

Every child will earn one merit for a completed travel questionnaire, so please help us by returning yours as soon as possible.

 

Thought for the week.
