Dear Parents,

Last Saturday Teatr Trip came to us from Poland. At the morning theatre show, the children saw the play ‘O tym jak Frędzelka i Wiercipiętka spotkały czapeczkę’ (How Frędzelka and Wiercipiętka Met a Little Hat). A wonderful performance, wonderful actors. The children took a lively part in the show, laughing, shouting and living through the characters' adventures. The performance brought the children great joy, while also developing their artistic sensitivity, and gave them the chance to experience a variety of forms of theatrical expression. We thank the Actors and invite them back next year!

  1. This Saturday the Talent Festival, postponed from 3 March, will take place. Parents of pupils performing on stage who have received invitations are warmly invited. Performance times remain unchanged.

  2. Pupils from the oldest class are going to the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London to meet the film director Krzysztof Zanussi.

  3. 24 March is Book Day at our school, celebrated as part of International Book Week. If possible, please let the children dress up as their favourite book character. We will also welcome Ms Paulina Sekuła, who will be selling books from the publishers Dwie Siostry, Media Rodzina and Nasza Księgarnia in the Theatre Hall. Do join us!

  4. We would also like to invite you to the Easter fair, which will take place on 24 March 2018, the last Saturday before the Easter break. The fair will be held right next to our school, at the JUSTIN GREEN shop, 279 Brighton Road, South Croydon

At the fair we will be selling Easter cards and decorations made by pupils of our school. If any of you would like to sell your own Easter handicrafts, please get in touch. In this way we want to raise money to support our school's activities. If there are children at our school who have Polish folk costumes, please also get in touch.

The ‘Old Polish Easter Traditions’ Easter fair introduces and encourages the cultivation of Old Polish Easter traditions and brings the local Polish community together. The programme of the event will include tastings and handicraft stalls.
