Happy Friday, everybody, we hope you all had a lovely time at Sports Day today. It was so lovely seeing all the mums, dads, grandparents and other family members out together on the field for a picnic lunch and watching the children compete after such a long time!
It is amazing to think that we are about to head into the last full week of school together!
Diary Dates
Saturday 9th July - PTA Summer Festival
Thursday 14th July - Open Evening 4-6pm
Wednesday 20th July - Last day of term
UNICEF Shoeshare Appeal
Once again on the last day of term we are collecting shoes in partnership with Unicef and Clarks, who will cleverly turn our old shoes into money that will help fulfill the rights of children around the world. You can send your child with a spare pair of shoes on the final day of this term so they can place their unwanted school shoes into our collection box. If you have any other unwanted pairs, you can send these in too. If you want to get started early with a big shoe clear out, we will have a box ready to take them from Monday 11th July. Shoes must be in a wearable condition with no holes or broken soles and paired together with an elastic band. You can find out more about Shoeshare here:
UNICEF & CLARKS SHOESHARE APPEAL
Our last collection total was 145 pairs of shoes - let's see if together we can smash this total!
Article 28 & 29: Every child has the right to an education.
Open Evening
On Thursday 14th July from 4-6pm, parents and the wider community are invited to visit Down Hall for our Open Evening. This is an opportunity for you all to come in and see some of the work the children have done in school this year and look around their classroom. You can also visit other classes as well to see where your child will be working next year. We look forward to seeing you all!
Maths Homework
All the teachers in Key Stage 1 want to say a huge thank you to you all for your help and support with homework over the course of this year. It makes a huge impact in reinforcing all the concepts that we cover in class. We know that many of you are approaching the end of your homework books now so this week we are sending the homework books home but you do not need to hand them back in next week.
Instead, keep the books at home and use them as you see fit over the course of the holidays, whether that is to finish any last pages or review previous work ready for starting back in September.
As always, we are available on our Key Stage 1 email. However, we would encourage you to come and see us at the end of the day if there are any issues or questions that you have. Just come down the steps to see us!
Have a beautiful weekend!
Lots of love
Mrs Yuille, Miss Langley, Mrs O'Connor & Mr Jude
