  Dear Parents,
  This week we have enjoyed the lovely weather and also the opportunity to celebrate the successes of the children within their annual reports and our KS2 SATS results.

   

  I am so proud of what all of the children achieve each and every single day and having an opportunity to read their reports gives me that opportunity to hear about the highlights of their year.

   

  Year 6 have been continuing to rehearse for their production next week.  The stage is set and I have already managed to get a few glimpses of the preparation.

   

  Today we have had an opportunity to hear Great Britain’s short speed skater Farrell Treacy talk to the children about being an Olympian.  A real inspirational talk that will hopefully inspire the children to try new sports.

   

  I hope you continue to enjoy the beautiful weather and I look forward to once again ‘Reaching for the Stars’ during our assembly on Friday.
   

  Maple Class: 
  We had a fantastic time at our Zoolab workshop this morning! We got to meet a giant millipede, a stick insect, a tarantula and a scorpion. We even got to meet some reptiles too and were able to hold a corn snake and also met a bearded dragon. The children asked great questions and were so careful when handling/looking at the creatures. Well done Maple Class!
   

  Cedar Class: 
  This week Cedar class will be trying and making their final sandwiches to give to Mr Grinling (The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch). Equally, we have enjoyed meeting and taking part in activities with our local Olympian Farrell Treacy.
   

  Damson Class
  This week in Damson Class, we have been designing Ancient Greek Sandals, ready to make this forthcoming week.
  In Literacy, we have been learning how to make our writing flow using cohesive devices and in Maths, we have been using mental strategies to calculate quickly.
   

  Oak Class:
  This week Oak Class have been putting the finishing touches to their end of school show. We have had an investitive maths lesson by a teacher from Kenilworth secondary school. Also, we had a visit from the Olympian Farrell Tracey and a short training session with him. Another busy week!

  Dear Parents,
  It has been a most eventful time, since I wrote to you last week!

   

  It was wonderful to see so many of you at the summer fayre on Friday evening.  The atmosphere was really special, and it really felt like we were all a community again.

   

  Our year 6 enterprise initiative was very impressive raising over £200. This is amazing achievement and I know in future I will either see some of them on Dragon’s Den or the Apprentice.

   

  It was a huge success overall, not only raising a fantastic £1789.08 but making our community feel whole again.  Well done to our fantastic PTFA for organising such a fabulous event.  A lot of work, but definitely worth it 😊 

   

  On a completely separate note, thank you all for your support during our Ofsted inspection.  As you can appreciate, it is a very intensive time and we could feel the good vibes from our lovely community.

   

  I hope the rest of the week is a little less eventful, although I have already seen the stage is set for play rehearsals in year 6 and our new reception children visiting this afternoon.

   

  I hope you all have a good rest of the week and a restful weekend when it arrives.

   

  I look forward to celebrating with you on Friday when we once again ‘Reach for the Stars’
   

  Maple Class: 
  This week in Maple Class we are becoming minibeast experts! We are researching information about different minibeasts and will be making our own books about them. In maths, we have been practising telling the time and have focussed on o’clock, half past and started to explore quarter past times too. 
   

  Cedar Class: 
  This week the children are tasting bread in order to decide which type of bread they will be using in their sandwich. This will be made using a selection of fillings for the ‘Lighthouse keeper’. In addition, we have been looking at the types of lines in mathematics and in literacy writing our own adventure story.
   

  Damson Class
  This week in Damson Class we have been learning about time intervals and multiplication in Maths and cohesion in paragraphs, in Literacy. We are also starting to Design some Ancient Greek sandals in DT.

   

  Oak Class:
  This week has been a busy one with completing our transition work ahead of settling in days at the children’s secondary schools. We have added up all the profits from the enterprise project and together the class raised £233 which showed an amazing effort from everyone. We are also busy with our play rehearsals.
