Reindeer Come to Westfield

Extreme Reading Challenge

Last week, School 21 visited Westfield Shopping Centre as part of a social

skills and communication outing. Children enjoyed riding the DLR, feeding

the reindeer at Santa's Grotto, viewing the Olympic park, and playing in the

children's area. We would like to thank our Year 7 Leader, Raheem Yaseen,

for his help and dedication to our Reception children.

We already knew that the School21 team just love to read, but some of the staff couldn't wait to get started on their Christmas challenge! Check out these snaps of Miss Hardy and Miss Baxendale doing some "Extreme reading!"

Message from our

Primary Governor

No doubt you are all excited about the

children's impending Christmas

production, which I'm sure will be

fantastic. Following the presentation, I

was hoping that parents might want

to come along to a Christmas lunch

from 11:15-11:30 at the Best Café

(Stratford Broadway, near the Old

Town Hall). This will give us an

opportunity to meet one another,

have a friendly chat and celebrate the

Christmas season together. I hope to

see you all there, Leonda
