Happy Friday everyone. I cannot quite believe we are in week 3 of our summer term, I’d like it to slow down a little!
This week has brought our final two Y6 residential groups to Lea Green. Catkins class had a fabulous time Monday-Wednesday and missed their friend Kai a lot, who was unfortunately unwell this week. Woods were safely driven (by me!) on Wednesday and have shown their team work and strong friendships by supporting one another with friendly encouragement on the low ropes, high ropes, stream walk and much more!
We are looking forward to celebrating the achievements of all pupils who attended Lea Green this year at our awards evening on Tuesday 27th June 5pm-7pm. If you are conscious of bedtime routines, please still try and come, just let us know and we’ll present your child’s award at the beginning so you can get home in good time.
Thank you to all the special gents who came into school on Friday to celebrate Father’s day. It was a well attended event with 34 dads, step dads and grandads coming into school. The children and staff loved it, we hope you did too!
Last week we shared the story ‘Pink is for Boys’ in our celebration assembly. We continue our Pride celebrations by inviting everyone to wear bright colours and festival vibes on Friday 30th June . This will bring Pride month to a close alongside celebrating our MOVE fest. MOVE is part of our physical development curriculum and all classes will be exploring MOVE activities on Friday .Many of the children across school will be receiving MOVE certificates for personalised physical development and movement achievements. Sarah Sinnott is our MOVE coordinator in school, she will give you all a summary of the year in next week’s newsletter. This week’s assembly text was a beautiful story called‘And Tango Makes Three’.
You will have received a Parent Hub message regarding the NEU Industrial Action on 5th & 7th July that will affect our school. I am liaising with Applefields to plan our Y6 moving on day which is on Wednesday 5th July and on Friday 7th July we will still be going ahead with Sports Day, we might just need a couple more hands to help so bring your trainers!
Our teachers are working hard behind the scenes to plan and risk assess educational visits, you will receive communication about this in the up coming weeks, if you can volunteer your time to help on trips please let class teachers know. Having volunteers enables us to provide staff ratios, ensuring all pupils have the opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom. Thank you to those parents who have already offered to help! If you’d love to offer but feel your child may struggle with you supporting, we have a range of visits happening so helping in alternative classes is an option!
We are currently auditing our resources in preparation for September, if you have any inset puzzles, shape sorters, sensory toys or small world toys that your children no longer use or engage in at home that you’d like to donate we would love to receive them! Thank you in advance for any donations. Equally, if you are keen for some activities to come home for the summer to maintain skills, please liaise with your class teacher.
Have a lovely weekend, Olivia
