Dear Families,

It’s been lovely to see so many of you in school this week to discuss your child’s progress with the teachers.  If you didn’t get a chance to make an appointment, your teacher will be making contact with you to arrange a suitable time.

 

Sporting events
We’ve had two sporting events this week.

Football.  Our football team was amazing and won the Newcastle School’s League. 

Cross Country - A group of children took part in the Newcastle Cross-country , each child achieving their own super results.

We are so proud of these sporting children.  They have shown resilience and a real enthusiasm to achieve their very best.

Well done to all of you. 

 

Year 3 swimming
Next Friday (28th) is the last swimming session of this term.  It’s the first year ever that we have had every child swimming without any swimming aids from the deep end to the shallow end.  They have been amazing.  We can’t wait to see what they achieve next term.

The dates for next term will be a little sporadic due to taking the older children swimming ready for the Newcastle swimming gala.  We will let you know the dates as soon as we have them.

 

Years 5 & 6 swimmers
Next term, we will be looking for some children to take part in the Newcastle swimming gala.  The children need to be strong, fast swimmers.   We will ask the children who would like to take part, and then we’ll practice the races and pick the fastest swimmers for the girls and the boys' teams.

If your child hasn’t swam for a while, they may want a little practice over the Easter holidays before we do our practice sessions.

I will send out more information about this, when I receive it.  

 

Nursery
The numbers for nursery in September are looking very promising, with only a couple of places left.  If there are any siblings that should be joining our Nursery in the next academic year, please can you let me know so that we can ensure there is a place for them.

 

Have a lovely weekend.

Take care and stay safe.

Mrs Wilmer
