Newsletter - Term 5 - 24th May 2024

Dear Parents/Carers,

This has been another incredibly exciting term. The trim trail is now well and truly in use, and we are so pleased to see everyone building up their skill levels and being active.

Our Y3, Y2 & Y1 classes have all been out of school this term on their class trips. We were very proud to hear back from Kent Life and Wingham that your children were exceptionally behaved. We hope that they all enjoyed their visits.

We were also lucky enough to send 12 children horse riding, thanks to the charity MedwayPlus. Mrs Williams and the Robins all reported that it was a wonderful experience.

We were also offered a special circus skills session for Y1which the children thoroughly enjoyed. We are looking forward to being supported with other activities by the charity so watch this space for future events!

Our annual celebration of Elmer Day was as colourful as ever, with special dance and story workshops for reception to Y3.

As we move into the final term, we have Sports Day to look forward to our Summer Fair, and of course glorious weather!

Mrs Allnutt

Headteacher

Phonics Screening

All Year 1 pupils will be completing the Phonics Screening, and some pupils in Year 2 (parents have been notified separately) will be re-taking the check. We will be able to administer the check during the week of the 10th to 14th June 2024. If a child is absent during that week, the school can administer the check up until Friday 21^st June 2024.

As at all times, attendance throughout the year is VITAL. Particularly during this period in June, we ask that children are not taken out of school. Children who are absent from school for the whole 2-week period will have to wait to take the screening test in Year 2 instead.

Reminders

All children must bring a water bottle to school every day. It should only contain water.
As the weather is warming up, please ensure your child has sun cream applied before they come to school.
We encourage hats to be worn in the summer months.
Please ensure all school items are labelled with your child's name.
