Weekly Update Friday 24th May

What a busy end of half term we have had. Our children have been excited throughout and have loved the projects they have been learning about. We have lots of green-fingered children in our school, and it was exciting to see the what they have been growing this week and they wowed their parents at project outcome.

 

This time last week there was hustle and bustle going on preparing for our summer fayre. What a fayre it was! For once, we had sunshine for the day, which was a lovely change. The overall profit raised from the day was £1850, which is a fantastic amount towards our new learning area outside Year R and Year 1. We will hopefully be going ahead with this very soon, and I know that the children in our school will have some great resources to use for many years. This would not be possible if it wasn't for our fantastic PTA and many helping volunteers (including family members). So much hard work went into the event behind the scenes, and also on the day, where staff joined in on stalls. Thank you so much to Claire, Andy, Maddie, Baz, Veronique, Kath and Karen for all your hardwork. It is our main event of the year and it was fantastic! Thank you to all the extra helpers who joined in helping before and on the day too, including many parents, grandparents and staff. A big thank you to Lilypads, CM Sports and our school governors too, who also helped to man the stalls . We also had great performances from Dance Kidz and Roynon School of Performing Arts and our children (past and present) showed off their talents-thank you to Roynon and Belinda for coming along!  We cannot wait for everyone to see the result of their hard work, so watch this space!

 

This time of the year is a very busy one for teachers, who are very busy assessing the learning for their class' summative school reports, as well as preparing the children for the next transition in their school journey. We will see everybody back in school on Tuesday 4th June, the day after our INSET day.

 

Year 2 will be swimming in the Junior school pool on Thursday afternoons next half term, and they are very excited about it already. They will be taught by Mrs Labram, Miss Whitehead and Mrs Cresswell, whilst being supported by an army of parent volunteers who help support with changing and swimming. We will let you know how our first session has progressed afterwards! Thank you in advance to every helper, who helps to make these sessions so special.

 

Our new Year R Entrant evening went really well last night, with lots of new parents coming to meet our school community. Thank you to everyone from our school community who joined us for the night including our governors Helen and Roy, the mental health team Christina and Kate, Luke from CM Sports, Andy and Claire form our PTA, Mrs Campone our SENCO and our whole Year R Team led by Miss Turner. There were lots of new parents and returning parents, and it was lovely to see you all.
