Not many more sleeps!

Can you believe that we only have two weeks to go? This year seems to have gone very quickly and very soon, the children will be moving on to their next year group. The class organisation for next year is being finalised, and you should be informed of this through your child’s annual report.

We aim to get the reports out by the end of this week, but as you may have heard on the news, the results of the Key Stage 2 results have been delayed nationally.

As we are in the final two weeks, we are updating lots of information to pass up to the next teacher, including high frequency words, number work and two pieces of independent writing, which will form the first pages of a book called ‘The Big Write’. This book will stay with your child as they move throughout the school, and will contain examples of their writing from Years 1 and 2 all the way to Year 6. They will be amazed at home much they can improve throughout this time!
The children are also busy preparing a canvas bag of work which they have chosen to represent their time in Year ½. This will be brought home during the last week and you will be amazed by how much they have come on this year. They will also bring home a small momento of their time in their class, which they need to keep safe – Facebook...in 20 Years time!? We are thrilled with their progress and the tissues are at the ready for all the staff!
Sports Day

We hope (fingers crossed) to hold our annual sports day this week, although as I type this, the heavens have just opened and the rain is VERY heavy! Our planned day is Tuesday and the infant sports day is held in the afternoon.
Should the weather not be suitable on Tuesday, we will hold it on Thursday, again for the infants in the afternoon.

The children should have brought home their PE kits on Friday, ready to be washed and ironed for sports day, so a plea...PLEASE do remember to send them back into school on Monday.
IF the weather is fine, please remember to send in a hat and sun cream for the children. Also, an extra drink would be useful.

Gulliver’s World

Many thanks for all the permission slips which have been returned. If you haven’t already done so, and you would like your child to go on the trip, please return the slip as soon as possible.
ARE YOU ABLE TO HELP? We need lots of adult help on the day to ensure we have the sufficient adult/child ratio. If you are able to help, please let any member of the team know, so we may allocate places. Alternatively, let us know through the diary.

We will let you know the details for next week’s trip in this blog next weekend and also by letter during the week.

BBQ

Don't forget that this Friday is the annual Friends of St.Vincent's Barbecue. It is always a great occasion, starting at 6.00pm and ending at...well, let's just say late! If you haven't got your tickets yet, the let us know and we can arrange them for you.

That’s all for this week’s very short blog!
Have a good week and fingers crossed for good weather!
