Dear Parent,
Year 2 Leaver's Assembly
What an amazing show the Year 2 put on this week. They sang, danced and performed brilliantly and it was lovely to see how confident and happy they were on the stage. A huge thank you to the Year 2 team for their tireless hard work in putting the assembly together and supporting the children so well.
Flower Festival
Our church services are always a lovely way to mark the end of term and it was lovely to see so many of you at our Flower Festival. Well done to the children for their great performances. Thank you to the PTA for collecting all the flowers from the children as they arrived at the church.
Year 2 Leavers Party
This will be taking place on Friday 21st July from 2 pm - 3.30 pm in the Memorial Hall with Mr Marvel entertaining the children. Year 2 children are allowed to wear their party clothes to school, please ensure they are dressed appropriately. Please see the link below to purchase a ticket through Classlist.
Talent Show
A reminder that the last day for giving in entry slips is next Tuesday. This event is just for the children and not for parents to watch.
Medication held in school
All medication held in class for children will be sent home with them on the last day of term.
Maths Story Books
