Dear Parents
Welcome back. I hope you all had a super Easter break and the chance to catch up with family and friends and even enjoy some welcomed sunshine!
Our worship focus this term is Truthfulness. We will look at how important it is to be truthful to yourself as well as others. We need to encourage each other to offload and help each other accept all our imperfections – we all have them!
1 John 3:18 ESV / 47
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
A special thank you for all your help and support over the last two long terms – we couldn’t do it without working together. Please continue to sign up to PTA events if you can this term too.
Now we are in the summer terms please can you make sure that your child/children are sun creamed before coming to school and have a hat to wear if we eventually see some more sun! We are happy for sun cream to come to school but please be aware the children will have to apply it themselves when necessary. Children are more likely to take off sweatshirts and jumpers and leave them outside so please make sure that these are named so we can return them quickly.
Please can I remind you to ensure that children with long hair keep it tied up throughout the day. It’s amazing how quickly it grows.
Our baptism, admission to communion and confirmation service is on 21st June this year. Please let the school know as soon as possible if you would like your child to take part in any of these. Note that confirmation is for Year 6s only.
The guinea pigs have now spent several holidays with different families – thank you. If you would like to offer a home for the two over a school break please let us know. We have invested in a portable hutch so you don’t need to worry about accommodation. We will obviously supply the food and bedding. Perhaps we should start up a postcard collection of places they have been!
Can I please remind you that this is a term of national assessments and the Key Stage 2 SAT tests are 9th- 12th of May. Assessments for other pupils throughout the school will be a little more flexible. Pease talk to teachers if you would like more information.
Our pick up and drop off arrangements are working well, thank you for keeping to the routines we asked you to. If you have any suggestions for how we can make it even safer for the children then please let us know.
Please keep safe in the car park and use this area with caution remembering that children of all sizes can run out across the road at any time. We do remind them at school but the excitement of play with friends at the end of the day can sometimes prove too much!
Please can drivers not keep engines running, as we know more about how dangerous the fumes from a running engine can be for all of us it is better to keep the engine off while outside school.
