Year 6 Leavers’ Festival Information

Good afternoon,

Year 6 will have their leavers’ assembly and festival on Friday 17th July from 1-3pm. Please go straight to the hall for the assembly to start at 1pm. There are spare tickets available which will be put onto ParentPay for those that would like further tickets.

We would like to thank parents for your kind donation to put towards our exciting end-of-year celebration. We have organised activities such as bubble football, a silent disco, a quiet area and garden games.

Children will be able to come to school on the final day in festival clothing – think bright colours, glitter and festival accessories!

This year, we will also be providing food and drink which can be purchased on the day. This will be cash only please and includes: hot dogs, chocolate crunch, ice cream and drinks (prices range from 50p to £1.50). Please rest assured that vegetarian and gluten free options will be available for the children with dietary requirements. Please bring picnic blankets and foldable chairs should you need a place to rest.

Please speak to your child’s class teacher if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

The Year 6 Team

What’s App – Year 5

We have been made aware of some What’s App groups involving children in year 5 that we are asking for you to please monitor.

Within the chats, older children, who are not known by everybody, have been added and some of the content and messages being sent are not age appropriate.

As a school we will continue to address online safety in lessons and making sure pupils understand the importance of staying safe online and ask you as parents/ carers to support at home and monitor devices.

Y1 Picnic

This half term we have been designing a healthy sandwich. On Monday 13th July we will be making the sandwiches and then in the afternoon taking them on our picnic to the school oak tree. We would like to invite the year 1 children to bring their teddy to join us but please can it be named so no teddies go missing!!

Weather adaptions

Dear Parents/Carers,

Normally we welcome the sun and long spells of lovely dry weather, but it is rather annoying now as we face another heat wave.

We will be carrying out all of the below strategies from tomorrow (with some adaptions today as the temperatures rise)…

 

  • Relax school uniform rules – all children are encouraged to come in PE kits for Thursday and Friday (I will update about next week over the weekend).
  • All children will need a hat – preferably one with a wide brim to maximise protection.
  • Sunscreen with high sun protection factor needs to be applied before coming to school and children will be permitted to reapply throughout the day. (Name bottles please!)
  • We will be again encouraging children to stay in shaded areas – we are lucky to have the back fence lined with trees and some other shaded options to use. We will ask Mr Bryant to put up some gazebos.
  • Teachers will adapt lessons for hot weather including bringing the water sprays back out of the cupboards!
  • We will try our best to ventilate rooms, but children are permitted to bring in fans, but they will be responsible for looking after them.
  • We will reduce unnecessary heat and only use lights when required.
  • We will provide and encourage children to drink more water – please ensure they have a named bottle.

I know from experience that though school does heat up, it does seem to remain cooler than houses, unless they have air conditioning.

We are open as normal and expect all children to attend. We will be opening the gate at 2.45pm on Thursday and Friday to support at the hottest time of the day.

Thank you for your support.
