SATs Tests

Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils who seem to have coped with their SATs very well during this week. They demonstrated stamina and focus but were visibly relieved at the end of the last test! Thank you to all members of the Governing Body who have been in school frequently this week to help with the administration of the SATs. A reminder that annual tests continue into next week for many other year groups.

New School Meals Menu from 4 June 2018

Food & More have now provided us with a new three week menu which will start from 4 June. As a means of providing as much variety and choice for all children, they are introducing a three-option menu, the traditional meat and vegetarian options along with a third lighter option for the summer months. This is a strategy which has proved popular with other local authorities. They hope that this change may encourage those pupils who don’t currently take a school lunch, to try one as well as providing new and more varied options for their regular customers. Copies of the new 3 options menu have been uploaded to the school website.

Book Fair from 22^nd May

Once a year we have a Book Fair which, this yearwill be arriving on Tuesday 22 May. There will be a great selection of books (look out for the leaflet in book bags which illustrates a selection of them) chosen carefully to inspire and entertain young readers and earn, by way of commission, free books for school. The Book Fair will be open on Tuesday afternoon, before and after school on Wednesday and Thursday and the last opportunity to purchase will be on Friday morning. This year we have a special offer of 3 books for the price of 2 and we look forward to seeing you there! Thank you.

 

Lost Property

We have a mountain of lost property in the box in the hall. Please do have a look through it if you are missing any items. In a couple of week’s time we shall dispose of any unnamed items which are past their best. Thank you.

LITTLE BEARS NEWS:

Our Little Bears continue to love exploring with different sensory materials and water.  Our sensory tables will be filled with potting soil, dried beans, sunflower seeds, and grass seeds over the next few weeks as we explore the theme ‘growing.’ We look forward to planting our own sunflowers in the garden and measuring how tall they will become, keeping a daily check on them and making sure we care for our plants. Our science and nature area has come to life and we continue to enjoy observing how well our now little froglets are doing.  After half term we will have a very special delivery in the post of 5 little caterpillars to add to our nature area.
