Following the success of the Young Mayor's programme, Downderry were invited to visit with the Mayor of Lewisham, Sir Steve Bullock. Some of our year 5 and 6 pupils, along with other local schools, met with the Mayor in his chambers and asked some challenging questions!

Along with children from others schools, 12 of our children from year 2 attended a fun packed festival at Bonus Pastor on Thursday. They tried out agility, balancing and coordination skills. They all tried hard, supported each other and had a wonderful experience. Well done to all who attended.

Next week Early Years are holding a Health and Social skills week. We will have a visit from a dental nurse from Guys & St Thomas hospital. The school nurse will be at school to teach the children about hand washing and preventing the spread of germs.

Children will visit Bellingham leisure Centre's soft play area to keep their pulses racing and we will be making healthy smoothies and lollies for the children to eat in class.

On Friday 27th January parents of full time and morning children are invited to our open morning, 9:00 - 9:45am, to share in the activities. Afternoon parents are invited to our open afternoon, 2:15 - 2:45pm.
