Newsletter - Term 6 - 7th June 2024

Dear Parents/Carers,

Term 6 already? Where does time go? As we move into our final term for this year, we reflect on the progress our children have made, and begin our preparations for moving the children onto their new year groups.

We will be welcoming our new starters for September, as well as inviting all parents into school later in the term to meet new teachers and to find out what lies ahead as your child moves up through the school, what will be expected from you and them for their new learning ahead.

We also have Sports Days to look forward to and Reception Bat Class has their special from Rocky's Animals later this month.

We are all looking forward to hosting our fundraising Summer Fair in July, and hope you will all be able to attend and have some fun.

Finally, please be aware that Mrs Allnutt is not in school at the moment, due to taking time to recover from knee surgery. We are wishing her a speedy recovery, and are hoping to see her back in school before the end of term.

In the meantime, I am acting on her behalf with the full support of the governing body and the incredible school staff team, as always.

Mrs Powlesland

Deputy Headteacher


National Phonics Screening Week

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 21st 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.

Reading Top Tip

Re-reading books two or three times will help children build fluency and help them recognise words 'at a glance' rather than needing to sound out.
