Links News- 7th June 2024

Dear Links Families,

It was lovely to welcome you all back to Links this week, and what a busy week it was! Some of our Year 4 children enjoyed our annual residential to Sayers Croft. A big thank you to Mrs Murray, Ms Meara and Ben, for accompanying them and for all the wonderful photos you took (take a peek at them on ‘X’). Year 2 visited the Golden Hinde in Central London and experienced exploring the full-size reconstruction of the famous Elizabethan galleon, the first English ship to circumnavigate the globe by Francis Drake. Coach Cardisha has been busy in PE, practising for our Sports Day on Thursday, which we are all very excited about, and hope you see you there!

Sports Day

Just a reminder that next week is our annual Sports Day!

Nursery’s Sports Day is 9:00am - 10:00am on Friday 14th June in the EYFS garden. Please ensure your child is wearing appropriate clothing and trainers.

Reception’s Sports Day is 2:00pm - 3:00pm on Thursday 13th June at school. Please ensure your child is wearing their PE kit and brings in a water bottle.

Year 1- 6 Sports Day is 9:00am -12:00pm on Thursday 13th June at Tooting Athletics Track. Please ensure that your child wears a T-shirt reflecting their house (red, yellow, blue or green), alongside their PE kit. Children must bring a filled water bottle and wear a hat. Don’t forget get to apply suncream before coming to school.
