Annual reading and spelling tests are being carried
out this week. SAT's and other year group testing will take place starting on
Monday 10th May. We use the results of these tests for tracking the
progress of our children through the school. Later in the term, teachers will
meet and use the results of these tests plus notes from class activities to
plan the children's targets for next year.
Watch
out for photographs of Year 6, getting up to mischief, at Manor Adventure near Ludlow
during the week of Monday 17th May. We are hoping to be able to
update our website from there so that everyone at school can keep a track of
our activities.
A lot of our other school activities, prize
winners, etc. are put on our website. If you haven't visited it recently please
do so. The address is above. We put photos onto the website which you can
download if you wish. There is also a lot of curriculum information there as
well.This year we will also be
uploading to the Learning Platform as well.
After the success of our recent whole school ‘Bake
and Share' event we have decided that we would like to run further events by
individual classes instead.Beginning
the week of the 17th May each class will be allocated their week for
baking and sharing their cakes and biscuits. Parents of the class will be
invited to attend and there will also be drinks available.Any profits raised will go towards purchasing
something special for their own class.You will receive an invitation for your class coffee shop nearer the
time.
‘Warwickshire Walk to School Week' is the week of
the 17th May. Again, we have a very high instance of children
arriving at school by car compared with other schools in the County, so we are
supporting this. Even if you can't walk all the way from home, what about
setting out a little earlier and parking away from the school and walking in
from there? We call this "Park and
Stride".
Now that the weather is improving can we remind
parents to ensure the children have a water bottle in school and if needed, sun
cream is applied before school.Sunhats
are also useful for lunchtime.
Half term is the week of 31st May, so the children
will break at 3.30pm on Friday 28th May and will return on Monday 7th June.
If anyone still has any vouchers at home, we are
due to send them off soon and would be very grateful if they could be sent in
to please.
