This week, we need to celebrate our children in Year 6! Throughout the week, they have been completing their end of Key Stage Two statutory assessment tests (SATs). They have completely blown us away by their attitude, their resilience and their positivity. We all know that exams can be very stressful, but our children have been simply brilliant. Thank you to the children and also to the staff and parents who have supported them so well. We are very proud of you.
Staff News
I am delighted to share with you that Mrs Meggitt gave birth to a baby girl, Ella Fern, on 30th April. I am sure you will all want to join me in congratulating Mrs Meggitt and her family.
Inset Day
Just a reminder that next Friday (23rd May) is an inset day so the school will be closed for all pupils. We look forward to seeing the children back in school on Monday 2nd June.
Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day
Tomorrow (Saturday 17th May) is World Neurofibromatosis Awareness Day. As we have children in school who cope each day with this illness, we like to raise awareness. Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to form throughout the body. These tumours can cause difficulties in the sufferers’ day to day life. It is important that all of our children develop compassion and understand that not all disabilities are visible.
Sharing Assembly
We very much look forward to Team Ruby sharing their learning in their class assembly on Thursday (22nd May). Parents and carers wishing to watch should please come to the school office for a 9am start.
Opal Donations
Thank you for the donations that you are placing in the OPAL outside play box by the school office. We are improving the home corner outside for the children to play in at lunch time. We would love any:
Dolls, dolls push chairs or prams, dolls clothes or play tea sets/ kitchen items that you do not need anymore.
SPACE SEND Parent/Carer Coffee Morning
Please come along to the next SEND Parent/Carer coffee morning on Friday 27th June. SPACE will be there to explain how they can help and support families.
