7th July 2014

Hi! We all had a fantastic, if soggy, time on Friday at Gulliver’s World! Lots of fun rides and ice cream in the rain! Brilliant!

Can you believe that we only have two weeks and two days 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, which you will receive on Friday.

As you can appreciate, the staff take a great deal of care and time to compile these reports, as they are a record of your child's achievements throughout the course of the year. Please take 5 minutes to complete the reply form which will be included with report, as we do really appreciate your responses.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we have our New Starters coming into school for the first time for their visits. This means that our current Foundation Stage children will be joining us for a taste of Year One. Also, it will soon be time for our Year 2's to venture across the hall to the Land of the Giants, so they will be having a couple of taster days in the Juniors this week.
As we are in the final two weeks, we are updating lots of information to pass up to the next teacher, including number work and two pieces of independent writing.

If you have any outstanding library books or are gathering a collection of reading books at home, could we please ask that these are returned this week, so that we can review our stock levels, which are somewhat depleted at the moment! Under pillows and beds seem to be a favourite place for storing books at the moment!

SPORTS DAY
On Friday this week, we will be holding our annual sports day. The infants will be holding their sports in the afternoon, starting at 1.15pm. We are sure that it will be an enjoyable afternoon, but we would ask, that in the interests of all of our children's safety, that you DO NOT take your children home directly from the school field. They will be escorted back to their classrooms at the end of the day, and you will be able to take them home via the usual exit. We would also ask that you do not bring drinks and snacks for the children. We will be providing drinks and there will be an opportunity to buy refreshments for yourself and your little one after the event has finished at home time.

Reminders
Sun cream
And finally, we are delighted to be able to request that children bring a hat and sun cream into school for the rest of the term! The weather has been absolutely beautiful and we are optimistic that it will continue, so it is important that our little ones are protected from the sun.

If you apply a layer before they come to school in the morning, this will last until lunchtime. It is also important that they are able to apply it themselves.

Thank you for your continued support.
Year 1/2 Team.
