Word of the Week
Key Stage 1: Listening
Key Stage 2: Time
Value of the Week
This week, we will be thinking about ‘pupil voice’ in
our phase assemblies.
Ramadan
We are aware that for Muslim families this week
marks the beginning of Ramadan. In school we will be
recognising and building upon the essence and spirit
of Ramadan by considering some of the values of
Ramadan and encouraging all children to think about
showing respect for others, kindness, forgiveness and
having empathy with those who are less fortunate.
In line with the guidance from the Muslim Council of
Britain and advice from SACRE (Newham’s Standing
Advisory Council on Religious Education) we ask that
any children below the age of puberty do not fast
during school time. For those children who have
reached the age of puberty, and who do wish to fast,
we ask that you write to the Head Teacher.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide an inside
area at lunchtime for the children to stay out of the
heat therefore if we have received a letter to say that
your child will be fasting, we recommend that your
child goes home at lunchtime in order that
appropriate provision can be made.

Sports Day
This year will see some changes to Park Primary’s
Sports Day! We will be holding separate events for
Key Stage 1 and 2 this year – each day we will host
field events in the morning and track events in the
afternoon. Every child will participate in both the
morning and afternoon. With our house system in full
swing we are looking to promote confidence through
a host of competitive events and care through a show
of team spirit within our houses. This year we plan to
hold Key Stage 2 Sports Day on Tuesday 19th July and
Key Stage 1 Sports Day on Wednesday 20th July as
usual I encourage you to come and support your
children during the event!
