Knowledge begins with respect for God (Proverbs 1:7)

 

This half-term’s value is ‘Hope’ (1 Corinthians 13:13)

Class Assemblies

Thank you to our Swallows’ class for their fantastic assembly on the Great Fire of London last week. It was great to see so many parents and carers in school to support their children for this – thank you for coming along.

 

The next class assembly will be taking place on Wednesday 22nd May at 8.45am and will be led by our Kingfishers’ class. Parents and carers of children in the Kingfishers’ class are very welcome to join us for this.

Dan Worsley

As part of our recent focus on improving children’s writing, we have been working with Dan Worsley, a children’s author. He has really inspired the children to enjoy writing and develop their creativity. Dan will be leading our assembly next Monday, 13th May. After school he will be selling signed copies of some of his books in the school hall. If you would like to buy a copy of one of his books, please come to the main entrance straight after school.

Year 6 Assessments (SATs): Monday 13th May – Thursday 16th May

A reminder that children in Year 6 (all the Eagles and some of the Falcons) are taking their SATs assessments next week.

 

Please make sure your child is well-rested and gets plenty of sleep each night. Your child needs to eat a good breakfast to help their concentration and enable them to do their best in the tests.

 

We are providing free breakfasts for all Year 6 children each day next week from 8.00am – 8.20am. We encourage all Year 6 children to come along and eat breakfast with their friends.

 

Online Safety

Last week I told you about an online safety session for parents and carers which is taking place tomorrow, Wednesday 8th May 2024, 4.00pm – 4.45pm. Here is the link to join the meeting:

This session is a repeat session (last delivered Jan 2024), so if parents/carers attended that session, they don’t need to attend again. Sessions are also recorded so they can be watched at any time afterwards.

The May edition of the online safety newsletter is also now available on the school website (Parents/Online Safety).
