Year 6 Trips

Dear Parents/Carers,

Next week, Year 6 have two exciting trips to look forward to. Please read the information below regarding what the children should bring with them.

Please can children wear their school uniforms for both trips, but trainers instead of school shoes.

Tuesday 27th June – Telford Town Park 

We will be spending the majority of the day outside and so please can children bring their school bags, containing a water bottle, hat and a waterproof coat, should the weather change. Pizza, chips and an ice lolly will be provided by school from Pizza Hut and so no lunch needs to be packed. All allergies will be catered for.

Friday 30th June – Crucial Crew

Please can children bring their school bags, containing a water bottle, hat and coat, as the weather is currently forecasting rain for this day. For children who receive a lunch from school, this will be provided and all other children will need to bring a packed lunch on this day.

Please can children wear their PE kits on Thursday 28th June for their crossbar session.

Many thanks,

Mr McFarland and Miss Jones

Year 6 Production Updates

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you for your continued support with our production, especially with helping your child learn their lines – we cannot wait for you to see it!

Thursday 20th July – The Wizard of Oz performances.

The children have been working incredibly hard to prepare for their production of the Wizard of Oz, which we are delighted to present to you over two performances at 1.30pm and 6.00pm. Tickets for these performances can be purchased via ParentPay (these will be live in the coming weeks) and we kindly ask that all children are in school for 5.30pm via the office to prepare for the evening performance. Some children may be asked to attend earlier than this, but we will communicate this through their reading diary. We look forward to seeing you there!

Friday 21st July – Leavers Assembly – 2pm.

For their final farewell, year 6 will be hosting an awards ceremony, distributing awards to peers who they have voted for in class. The assembly will begin at 2.00pm and there will be an opportunity for photographs to be taken at the end. The children can bring in smart clothing (such as their prom outfit), if they wish to change into this before the event, however this is not compulsory.

We would also please ask for each child to bring in a strong plastic bag to school from Monday 10th July onwards, so that they can bring home their books from this year.

Thank you for your continued support and co-operation.

Year 6 Updates

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you for your continued support as we approach SATs and we are really proud of the hard work and resilience the children are demonstrating both inside and outside of school.

A polite reminder that SATs week will begin Tuesday 9th May – a letter with a permission slip has been sent home regarding a free breakfast club during this week. We strongly encourage the children to attend this so they have time to socialise and relax with their friends before going to their classrooms. At this stage of the year, we really encourage the children to get as much rest as possible so they have plenty of energy for the busy weeks ahead.

On ParentPay there are two upcoming events for year 6 – a Charles Darwin workshop and our trip to Telford Town Park. This trip will include bowling, adventure golf and pizza for the children. We ask if you could please give permission as soon as possible for numbers and bookings to be confirmed.

Many thanks and please get in touch if you have any further questions.

Mr McFarland and Miss Jones.

NSPCC – ‘Speak out. Stay safe’

Dear Parent/Carer

RE: NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. online programme

I am pleased to tell you that this term (week beginning Monday 27th March) we will be participating in the ‘NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe’  online programme. This consists of an online assembly and supporting classroom-based activities. Speak out. Stay safe. is a safeguarding programme available to all primary schools in the UK and Channel Islands. It aims to help children understand abuse in all its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse in a child friendly way. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a trusted adult or Childline.

In the online assembly, the Speak out. Stay safe. messages are delivered in a fun and interactive way with the help of their mascot Buddy as well as special guest appearances from Ant and Dec.

We have studied the content of the materials and are extremely confident that they are appropriate for primary-school-aged children. By the end of the programme, we’re convinced children will feel empowered – knowing how they can speak out and stay safe.

If you would like to know more about the Speak out. Stay safe. programme you can find information on the NSPCC website www.nspcc.org.uk/speakout or I would be happy to discuss any questions that you may have.

Additional resources

Activities for children at home

Keep busy while learning about staying safe and speaking out with our at-home activities for primary school children. These are hosted on the NSPCC website www.nspcc.org.uk/activities.

Online safety hub

You may also like to visit the NSPCC Online Safety Hub where you will find advice and information on a range of different online safety topics including gaming, social media, sharing nudes, parental controls and more.

You will also find online safety information for families of children with additional needs and disabilities. We have worked with Ambitious about Autism and parents and carers who have children with additional needs and disabilities to create activities to help talk about online safety which you can find at www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/online-safety-families-children-with-send.

Childline Under 12’s Website

Childline also have a website with age appropriate advice for primary school children on topics such as bullying.  It also has games and other interactive tools. Your child can visit it at www.childline.org.uk/kids.

The Childline website has an accessibility tool too, you can find out about it by clicking on the accessibility link in the Get Support menu. Children can use it to:

  • Read the website out to them
  • Change the text size and font
  • Change webpages to just text only
  • Add a mask or ruler to help them focus on just part of the page
  • Magnify parts of the webpage
  • Translate the website in to over 120 languages

 Talking PANTS with your children

 Talk PANTS is a simple conversation to help keep children safe from sexual abuse. From P through to S, each letter of PANTS provides a simple but important message that can help keep children safe. You can find out more and download the free resources at www.nspcc.org.uk/pants.

Penguin and Ladybird have partnered with the NSPCC to create a Pantosaurus book aimed at children aged 4 – 8. You can find copies of the new book on sale at https://shop.nspcc.org.uk/ or in Matalan’s selected stores. All profits from the sale of this book will support the NSPCC.

Support the NSPCC

You may be interested in the NSPCC’s new selection of BUDDY goodies available from the NSPCC shop at https://shop.nspcc.org.uk/collections/buddy which make perfect gifts for children – and all profits go to help keep children safe.

If you’d like to know more about the NSPCC’s work, or take a look at the wide range of information and advice which is available for parents and carers, please visit their website www.nspcc.org.uk/parents.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Cook
