Dear families,
And in a blink of an eye we are at the end of the first half of the summer term!
I can't go any further without thanking the PTA for their hard work in organising the family fun football event last Saturday. Comments on the gate on Monday morning included, “That was the best event we've attended at school!” “There was a fantastic atmosphere!” and “The children thoroughly enjoyed it; the teachers looked like they did too!”
Music has been the highlight of my week. Firstly, in the form of the singing assembly for Reception and KS1 on Monday. The children were singing together and learning musical terms such as tempo, forte and pitch. On Wednesday, I went to the singing festival at The Rose Theatre. This is a borough wide event for KS2. It was truly magnificent, and I felt very proud of our children who took part in it. Thank you to Mrs Rossington and Mr Oliver for all the work it took to ensure the children were ready.
Thinking ahead to Summer 2, and the festival of sports events:
Tuesday 9th July - 1.45 - 3pm - years 1&2
Wednesday 10th July - 9.30-11am - years 5&6
Wednesday 10th July - 1.45-3pm - years 3&4
Thursday 11th July - 1.45-3pm - reception
Families are welcome to join these events, so please put the dates in your diaries.
I hope you all have a lovely week away from the routine and have plenty of time to enjoy family time together. Looking forward to seeing all the children back for the final part of the academic year.
