Please remember to send in any photos either printed off or via your class email of events and celebrations you may have attended over the holiday for the Jubilee. We will be using these in our writing this week.

CONGRATULATIONS to Class 6 who won the competition for bringing in the most jars for the May Fair. Well done!

Noticeboard

• During this first week we will be carrying out our Phonics Screening in Year 1.

• NEXT WEEK we will be holding our special whole school week where we will be commemorating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We will be asking the children to wear red, white and blue or purple on the Friday (17th June). 

Here are some dates for your diary:
Sports Day – Afternoon of Thursday 23rd June – 1:30 pm
Learning Shares in classes –  Friday, July 1st (Classes 4 and 6, 9:10am and Class 5 at 2:50pm.)

• You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions. 
• Could you please make sure children have a change of shoes suitable for PE in their PE kits as most of our PE will be outside this term. Thank you.

We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.
