Dear all families,
I hope you all had a great half-term break and were able to enjoy the sunny weather. The temperatures are rising! Please ensure your children come to school with a water bottle, a hat and have applied sun cream. If sun cream needs reapplying at lunchtime children will need to do this themselves and use their own cream.
Walking around the school this morning seeing so many families sharing the children's books was wonderful. There was a fantastic atmosphere - if felt very calm and there were lots of very proud children and adults. Your children have worked so hard during the year.
Thank you to all those who attended the PSHE/RSE parent workshops on Wednesday. The slides are here. They clearly show what your children will be learning in the 'Changing Me' unit this term. If you have any questions do contact your child's class teacher or drop me an email.
This term is a busy one! Next week, our Year 1 children will be taking the Phonics Screen Check and Year 4 the Multiplication Check, both are statutory assessments and the PTA summer fair is on Saturday 17th June (please see below for more information). Later in the term, we have Barnes Literary Festival; STEM week (see below); the festival of sport events and the Year 6 performance, to name just a few! The dates for these are all on the website, so please do check them.
There is a real air of excitement around the school for the music talent competition. I am very much looking forward to seeing the children perform. If you have any questions on this please contact your class teacher.
As always, please do speak to me on the gate in the morning or email me if you have any concerns or questions. I am always happy to hear your feedback.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
Frances Bracegirdle
