Dear Parents and Friends
Netball and Football Tournament – Margaret Roper School (13.5.23)
Congratulations to our KS2 Netball and Football team for representing us brilliantly at the above
tournament last Saturday. They played well with sportsmanship and showed resilience when competing
against strong competition. The boys narrowly missed out qualifying for the quarter finals on goal
difference. The Netball team were proud to receive the trophy for best sportsmanship. Well done to
both teams for representing us brilliantly.
Thank you to Mrs Mangan, Mrs Lopeman and Mr Abrahams for training the teams and giving up their
Saturday to support the children.
Learning beyond the classroom
Science has been the focus of trips this week across the school. Reception visited Norwood Park to
explore mini beast and the local environment. Year 3 went to the Science Museum, year 4 to
Chislehurst Caves and year 5 visited London Zoo. Thank you to all the parent/carers who volunteered to
help on the trip and to staff for organising the trips. Children were well behaved and as always
enthusiastic about learning beyond the classroom. Other year groups have visits planned for after half
term, so please do look out for details.
5E’s Assembly
An excellent assembly from 5E. Well done children, you were so articulate and shared amazing scientific
information with us which linked perfectly to our Science week focus. I thought you worked well as a
team.
