| Message from the Head Teacher:
Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you for all your help getting children settled into Homerton this half term. As you know next week is half term. If your child is booked into Holiday club it runs Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm. Please come to the main entrance by the office to drop off and pick up. Thank you to Mel, Bridget, and all the staff who are helping to run the club this half term.
On Monday 4th November the Centre is closed for a staff training day. The Centre re-opens as normal on Tuesday 5th November.
We have an exciting event in the week we return, which is a mini quiet fireworks display, just for the children, during their session on 6th November. This gives us a chance to talk about firework safety for ourselves, and our pets, during a week when children are likely to be seeing and hearing fireworks.

| Medical Update/Covid:
Unfortunately Covid cases do seem to be on the rise again so please keep your children off if they are unwell as we want to limit the spread of any illnesses.

| Some of the Learning this week
Please see the selection of photos below for just a few of the activities that have taken place in the last couple of weeks focusing on the theme of autumn. These activities have included conker rolling, collecting autumn leaves and looking at their colours, and leaf printing. I am also attaching some photos of lovely displays that are up in the classes with the theme of Autumn in mind.
This week’s final picture is of Mel’s display celebrating Diwali, which is the Hindu and Jain festival of light. Over half term there are quite a number of celebrations taking place including Halloween and All Saints and All Souls Days.
