Sports Week
What a busy, fun filled week we have had! The children have taken part in many sporting events, culminating in our sports day today. They should be very proud of all their efforts. Thank you to Mrs Stainbank for organising the week.
Summer Reading Challenge
Throughout June, the children enjoyed a visit to our local village library, where they heard about the Summer Reading Challenge. This is a national challenge and encourages children to read over the summer holidays. For every book they read, they receive a sticker in a special book folder. If they receive 6 or more stickers, they will receive a reading medal. Please visit your local library to sign up if you are not already a member, and to take part in the challenge.
Early morning groups
Just a reminder that all Year 1 and Year 2 early morning groups have finished for the summer.
Parent Survey
Please could we remind you to complete the survey that was sent out last week. The link is here.
County Transfer Day - Tuesday 1st July
Nursery please be reminded that Nursery is open however parents are expected to take their child/ren to their Reception class at the allocated time.
Current Reception and Year 1 children should attend as normal and will spend the morning in their new classes and meet their teachers.
Current Year 2 children will be visiting their new Junior schools on that day.
Any Year 2 children who do not have a transfer day to attend should not be in school on Tuesday 1st July. This will be recorded as an authorised absence day for all Year 2 children. If you have ordered a school lunch please cancel your selection from the Parentmail system.
Open Evening for current pupils
We would like to invite you to the Infant School Open Evening on Tuesday 1st July.
This is very much an informal occasion where your child can show you their classroom and the work they have done through the year.
The times are 4.30pm - 5.30pm for Nursery and 5.00pm - 6.30pm for the main school. Please feel free to pop in at a time which suits you. Can we please highlight that this is not a formal parents evening where you meet with the teacher, it is a celebration of all your child has achieved over the past year.
Police Resources for Parents of School Age Children
Matthew Barber (Police & Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley) has announced new resources available to councils, schools, parents and carers as part of his education strategy under the Violence Prevention Partnership programme (VPP).
The videos have been prepared using subject matter experts and are drawn from the lived experience of victims. They have been funded through the Violence Prevention Partnership and complement its offer for professionals and those working with young people:
Whilst the videos are relevant to anyone working with young people, they have been designed to be Thames Valley generic and primarily aimed at parents and carers of school aged children.
