Festive Season
Parents’ Group at Christ Church School, Batten Street SW11, are inviting you to the Art Workshop on Saturday 11. October from 10am – 12 in one of the School’s classrooms, to celebrate Guy Faux’s Day, Eid and Diwali – ‘The Festival of Light’, where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within every human being.
New Parents’ Group
WoW Mums joined the parents in Christ Church School in Battersea, Batten Street, SW11 and started the new Parents’ Group with the aim to introduce the school to new parents and to bond the community. It also helps the parents to find out and share experiences and new things that are awaiting their children in years ahead. We plan to celebrate multicultural events and organise educational workshops.We meet every Monday morning (term times) from 9-11am in the school’s music room. Everybody is welcome to come and have a relaxing chat and a cup of tea.
Summer picnic
Just before the school started, we had a fun picnic in Fredwell’s Gardens. While Mums were catching up on holiday stories, the children played tennis and other outdoors games in the lovely park. Everybody agreed that because of the bad weather, we couldn’t make most of it this summer.
