I hope you’ve enjoyed Week Four…we’ve had a jam-packed week with so much great learning, a Times Table Rockstar festival, and the first winners of our Fred the Frog phonics cushion!

City Academy Whitehawk videos

You’ll have seen the brand new promotional videos on our website and Facebook page. It’s wonderful to see families and children speaking so positively about their experiences at our school. Please do share the links with friends and family far and wide...we are so proud of the CAW children, and we want everyone to know about it!

Author visit: Athena Kugblenu

We loved having author Athena Kugblenu visit school today and to run some really exciting assemblies about her new book History’s Most Epic Fails! Athena is a comedian and a write for CBBC’s Horrible Histories, and your children may have told you how much fun they had taking part in the historical quizzes. We’re always proud to give opportunities for authors to share their passion and promote the love of reading that is so important to us as a school.

Our new Instagram account

As well as our Facebook page, we’ve now got a new school Instagram account. Please sign up to follow the account for regular updates on the great things that are happening at City Academy Whitehawk.

Weekly Bulletin

Remember to check our Weekly Bulletins for all of the key information you need about the coming week. We’re always keen to hear feedback on how to improve our communication, so if there’s any information you’d like to see included on the Bulletins, please let us know.

National Poetry Day

We’re looking forward to celebrating National Poetry Day on Thursday (2^nd October). Do you have a favourite poem you like to share with your children? I’ve always loved Lewis Carrol’s Jabberwocky.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you on the gate on Monday morning,
