Dear Parents,

We will printing with paint next Wednesday. In order to keep their school clothes clean, we would advise that you send in an old over sized t-shirt or shirt that can be popped over the top of their uniform. The children can keep these in the bottom of their bags.

Thank you for your support.

Dear Parents and carers,

It has been wonderful to welcome our children back into Blue Class. Despite the heat, we have had an enjoyable and successful first week back.

We apologise that there was some confusion about PE which will take place on a Monday afternoon and Friday afternoon. Friday this half term is gym which takes place indoors.

Mrs Bernasconi will be teaching on a Monday and Tuesday, and every alternate Wednesday. Mrs Benson will be teaching on a Thursday and Friday and every alternate Wednesday. On a Wednesday afternoon the children will have Mrs Stelmans who will be teaching Art and Music.

All children should now have a reading book which needs to be in school everyday; your child is expecetd to read at home for approximately 15 minutes a day. Please can you sign the book when your child has read at home. We know that some of our more fluent readers prefer to read to themselves but please discuss the books that they are reading with them or ask them to read aloud to you. You may wish to share a Junior newspaper with them – Junior Week is a great publication excellent for this age range.

Spellings will go home on a Monday and will be tested the following Monday. We will send more information on homework next week.

Mrs Bernasconi and myself are always here at the end of the day if you wish to speak to us: we are happy to respond to to emails if you have any concerns. However, on the days that we are teaching we may not see them until the end of the day.

Thank you for your support. We hope you have alovely weekend enjoying the late summer sun.

We have had some questions about whether to wear PE kit or normal school uniform on Monday as we are going swimming.
The younger children have worn PE kit to make changing easier and to keep the children warm.

As the forecast is for another warm sunny day, I would suggest that they wear  PE kit ( including school t- shirt) or normal school uniform – whichever will be cool enough in our very warm classroom and they find easiest to put on when damp after swimming.

Mrs Bernasconi

Please don’t forget your swimming kit on Monday morning.
We have the swimming section of our PE curriculum this half term – at least we have the good weather for it.

Mrs Bernasconi

Congratulations to all our year 6 who have finished their SATs this week. They worked incredibly hard, remained focussed and did their absolute BEST. Well done year 6.

Our annual trip to Pizza Hut for a buffet lunch, following the end of the tests,was a great success. The children’s behaviour was impeccable, and I think we all ate as much pizza, salad, and ice cream as we possibly could!

Also, many thanks to our Year 5 who have supported their classmates and been very flexible moving between  rooms and having different teachers. Your treat is no homework this weekend.

See you all next week – curriculum back to normal. Don’t forget Viking Day on Thursday.

Have a restful weekend.

Mrs Benson and Mrs Bernasconi
