Downderry children have recorded another Christmas album for 2018.

 

Hey! That's What I Call A Downderry Christmas Vol. 2 is available from the school office at £2 each. They would make a great gift for friends and relatives this Christmas!

This year’s Downderry Choir made their debut performance on Saturday, singing at The Glades, Bromley to raise money for Demelza, children’s hospice care charity. They ended the morning session with great singing, dancing and smiles!

 

Well done Downderry choir and thank you to all the parents and carers that came along to support. Keep an eye out for our choir at the Christmas Fair this afternoon between 3:15-3:45pm!

Year 3 have been working hard all week on writing their own newspaper reports. They were visited today by a journalist from the Daily Mail to answer their questions about newspapers and journalism. 

Children in Key Stage 2 will be attending a Christmas Service at St. Barnabas Church on Thursday 13th December, 9.30am - 10:30am.

 

All parents and carers are invited to join us for the service at the church.

The Book Fair will be arriving at school on Wednesday 5th December and run until Monday 10th, in the Middle Hall from 3:00-3:30pm. There will be some great deals on books for Christmas.

Thanks to everyone who bought a poppy for Remembrance Day. Downderry raised a staggering £645.71 for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal to fund welfare work for our Armed Forces families. The total raised by all schools in the BR1/BR2 area was £10,922.20.

This week Downderry’s Eco-Warriors have been making sure teachers and pupils are “switching off” in order to avoid wasting energy!

 

Today children came to school wearing their brightest clothes, as it was “No Electricity Day” which meant No computers, No interactive whiteboards and No iPads! It was a very successful day, helping the environment and saving some money on our electricity bill.
