Chess Competition
On Saturday 25th November four players from Fern Hill Chess Club took part in the South East England Girls & Boys Chess Championships held at Greycourt School. Top player Jesse managed to score fantastic 13 points followed by Luke, Kabila and Arthur all scoring 9 points. Well done to all those players who took part. We look forward to the next one in March.

Festive Foyer
Many thanks to our school council who decorated the Christmas tree for our reception area last week. They had so much fun working together to bring some festive cheer to the foyer. The tree looks very beautiful and we are all very grateful for their efforts.

Reception, KS1 & KS2 Party
On Wednesday 20th December the children are invited to wear mufti/party clothes to school. Please note there will be no school meals or packed lunches required on the party day. Parents will have been asked by class reps to provide a party food lunch.
School Council Reminder
Just a little reminder from the School Council. If your child has ordered school meals, please make sure that they like the meal because we have caught people changing to a meal that they aren't allocated, which means that other people miss out on what they did order.
Thank you,
Kai
PSA Christmas Fair
