Autumn leaves and olive wreaths!
What a lovely assembly we had on Saturday! Year 1 A pupils treated us with autumnal poems and crafts whilst we learnt quite a lot about the importance of the olive tree in ancient Greece by Reception A children. And what beautiful olive wreaths they made! Well done to all!
Second hand book and cakes sale
The Parents’ Association of our school invite all children to the event we organise on Saturday 10th November throughout the school day. The event will include a second hand book sale as well as a sale of cakes, cupcakes, biscuits and juices.
In order for this event to happen and be successful we need your help. Please bring to school on the morning of Saturday any unwanted books in Greek as well as cakes, cupcakes, biscuits and other shop-bought or home-made sweets. We would also kindly ask you to give to your children a small amount of money in order to be able to buy the books and cakes. For your information books will cost £0.50-1 and the same for the cakes. All proceeds will go towards the needs of our school.
We would like to remind you that the PTA will prepare again the Calendar 2019 with the works of our children and also we will secure Favours of 2019 which will be for sale on the Saturdays of December. Other announcements regarding this will follow.
Entrance Rules – Reminder for the Early Years Parents
We would like to remind the parents of Nursery, Reception and Y1 classes that as of Saturday 3rd November you will no more be able to drop off your children at their classrooms in the morning but at the main gate where they will be collected by their teachers. There is no change during pick up time when you will collect your children from the theatre as usual.

All other pupils will be involved in classroom activities closely related to the OHI Day theme.

Thank you Filippos Mandilaras for an amazing assembly!!
Why do you write? Which pencil do you use to write? When are you going to stop writing? Why do you write children stories? How do you come up with ideas for your books?
These were just a few of the numerous questions that our students, young and older, had for the well known children’s books author, Mr Filippos Mandilaras. Filippos, guest author of the Children’s Reading Club (http://www.ekivil.org/), came to our school on Saturday and offered us a hugely interactive assembly answering children’s questions openly and honestly, and giving us an insight on how a book is written. It was such a special day for all!

Dear parents,
We have just been informed by St Marylebone School that we won’t be able to use the main gate tomorrow. Please drop your children off at the site keepers gate at Marylebone High Street.
