Summer Term Week 5 Newsletter
Focused, hardworking, happy children!!
Dear Parents and Carers,
I cannot quite believe how quickly these weeks are flying by and that there is only one week left before
half term. It feels like every time I go into the entrance hall something else is being added to enhance
the space. On Thursday I came in to see Miss Black, Mr Walker and Mr Bacon carrying boxes,
backgrounds and various African animals in their arms for a display to celebrate our partnership with
Summerfield School in South Africa. The result of everyone’s hard work is brilliant and yet another
reason to be proud of our school. This display could not have happened without the commitment and
drive of our staff, parents and children – So thank you - it looks fab!

Maths
Thank you to those parents who came to the Maths meeting on Thursday after school.
It was well received and Mrs Limbert and Miss Griffiths even made me feel
enthusiastic about calculations! There is a lot of information and support on the
website so please remember to use it as a reference point if you need to.
3KG – Assembly
The Class Assembly was lovely and really well attended. Thank you to the Year
3 team and the children in 3KG who have worked so hard on the assembly. It
was a real treat and I am sure we all learnt something about the Tudors (Mr
Trudgill certainly did) - even if it was set to an ABBA song!
Breakfast Club
A message from Breakfast Club – there have been some enquiries about a waiting list. The
children who are on the waiting list will be reviewed next term when Year 6 leave. If your
child’s name is on the list, the staff will review the provision and get in touch with you
directly.
KS1 SATs
It has been KS1’s turn this week with the SATs tests. We have tried to keep it low key in school and I
know that the staff have been extremely pleased with the children for the way in which they have
approached these end of Key Stage assessments. They will finish them next week, so keep up the good
work.
Audiologist
The audiologist will be in year 1 on Monday May 22nd
Year 6 Performance
It is time to turn our thought towards the end of term spectacular by Year 6. A few parents have been
asking about the dates so here they are: Tuesday 11th July 9.30 and Wednesday 12 July 6.30. Should be a
brilliant show.
South Africa on Monday
Exciting times – Mr Walker and Mrs Jeffery will be jetting off to South Africa on
Monday to spend time with our partner school, Summerfield Primary in Durban.
They are going to have an amazing experience : working hard teaching and
presenting to a Head teacher conference, to name just a couple of activities. This
is a culmination of a lot of hard work particularly Miss Black. We wish them good
luck, a safe journey and know they will be brilliant ambassadors for our school.
Fidget Spinners
I am sure you will all recognise the picture and every child in school will
probably be able to tell me where I can buy them from and how much they
cost!
Although we are not banning these from school, we would like you to strongly
discourage your children from bringing them in to school on health and safety
grounds. Today someone was hurt when a fidget spinner was thrown – and although the
incident was minor in the end, it could have been very serious.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
Volunteers in school
If you are interested in coming into school to volunteer to work with our children,
please get in touch with Mrs Seton. No matter what time you can give or what
your talents are, we would love to have you in school passing your skills on to our
children. (All volunteers will need to get a DBS)
Thank you for your continued support - Mark Trudgill, Lisa Seton, David Bickley and Louise Jeynes.
