Week 4 Complete . This half term is flying by but in a positive way. Everyday the children are embracing new challenges, being pushed out of their comfort zones and working their absolute socks off. You may hear them come home saying ‘I’m year 4 ready’ because before long they will be starting their new chapter in school and moving into the next year group. Not just yet though ! They are stuck with us a while longer !

The summer term will include Sports Day and Stem week. Please keep an eye on Class Dojo, the school website and your emails for more information about these things. 

Notices:

 

• We still have a number of our parents/carers who have not connected to our class dojo. This is a great resource for parents to see all the wonderful things our classes get up to whilst at school. Please check your emails and get in contact if you have any problems logging in. 
• School have launched their new 'IR' maths resource for the children to use at home. Please check your emails and class dojo for instructions and the link to access this wonderful resource. 
• All children need their PE kit on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
• All children need their library books on Wednesday with reading journals. Reading journals should be in school every day along with a water bottle.  
• We have a number of children coming to school in the incorrect uniform. Please can parent/carers ensure children are wearing the correct items. This information can be found on our website or by contacting the school office. 
• The weather is very unpredictable at the moment, so politely ask that children come prepared with hats, water bottles, coats and appropriate footwear. 
• Next week is the National testing week for Y6 (SATS) so there will be some suttle changes to the school timetable and staff working with children. Any changes have been kept as minimal as possible as to avoid disruption to the children. No changes will be made to the start and end of the school day timings.

We would also like to wish our Y6 children the best of luck in their upcoming SATS week. They are an amazing group of children who we know will give 100%. We are already so proud of you all!
