    Times Table Rock Heroes 

    We were very proud to see more children adding their handprints to our CAW Rock Heroes wall of fame! Children who can answer their TTRS questions accurately in less than one second earn the title Rock Hero, which is an incredible achievement. Please keep encouraging your children to practise on the TTRS website. Younger children can use Numbots and be in with a chance of winning the weekly Robot Trophy for their class! 

    CAW Author makes the news 

    You may have seen that one of our Year Five students had a big article written about her in The Argus this week! Click here to read all about Lei’s joy at publishing her first story book. We are very proud of her creativity and compassion. 

    Farewell! 

    I’ve included a message to all families in our Spring 1 Newsletter, along with some photos of the things I’ve most enjoyed as being part of City Academy Whitehawk. It’s been an absolute honour to serve the school and Whitehawk community for the last four years. I’m grateful for all the kind words and messages I’ve received over the last few weeks: a big, big thank you to all the CAW families for your support and collaboration during my time here. Whitehawk will always hold a very special place in my heart, and I’ll follow the school’s future successes with real pride. 

    All the very best,
