Amethyst & Emerald Blog - Thursday 20th July 2023

 Happy Friday, everybody, and welcome to the last blog for this academic year! It seems incredible that we are already at the end of the year - it has flown by! We have all absolutely loved working with all your children this year and it has been a privilege to watch them grow, learn and flourish as the year has progressed. We are all sure that they will continue to be just as fabulous as they move on to being Year 2's and 3's!

UNICEF Shoeshare Appeal

Just a reminder that 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. Staff will be in on Friday so you can still drop them off to the box in reception on that day too!

Article 28 & 29: Every child has the right to an education.

We will be available on our Key Stage 1 email up until lunchtime on Friday 21st July and then again from Monday 4th September.

Remember: children return to school on Tuesday 5th September.

When we come back in September we will be back in three Year 1/2 classes which is system we have run very successfully for many years aside from the last 2 years where we had single year group. We are looking forward to Miss Smith joining our team in Emerald Class along with Mrs Yuille in Diamond Class and Mr Jude in Amethyst Class.

All that remains is for everyone here in Key Stage 1 to wish you an amazing summer holiday. We would also like to give our heartfelt thanks for all your support and kind words over the year - it means so much to all of us!

Much love

Mrs Yuille, Mr Jude & Miss Smith
