Dear Families,

Year 6 have had a lovely day today after their week of SATs.  Leavers hoodies and a picnic along with a snow party (or should I say snow storm!)  Lots of focus and determination was shown by every single child.  Just remember, these tests are just a snapshot of a certain time.  They don’t show how amazing our children are at so many different things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swimming gala practice 🏊‍♂️

These sessions start on Wednesday 22nd May.  They are for the children who want to take part in the gala.  Decisions on the final children will be made after their 3 trial sessions.

Year 5 swimming will stop for a while.

Year 3 swimming will take place as usual.

 

Sports days

Hopefully next week, the sports days will take place.  Please bring a chair or picnic blanket (and  an umbrella!).

If we need to cancel them, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.  Fingers crossed for some dry weather.

 

Year 4 art work

Yesterday, the Year 4 children showed off their art skills in the style of Clarice Cliff.  They painted bright, vivid colours onto tiles.  They look amazing.  All of the children are so proud of them.  We’re now trying to find a place to display them for all to see.  Well done Year 4!

Some helpful sites for parents

For Parents - Jessie and Friends (4-7 Year Olds)

I find that most schools I visit tend to know about this resource from CEOP, however when I do the parent talks they are not aware.

Jessie and Friends is a great resource that parents can use to engage with their younger children about worrying or frightening situations online. When questions answer a question correctly they earn a star and can download a certificate to colour in.

 

Jessie and Friends can be found HERE.

For Parents - Wellbeing Apps for Kids

 With wellbeing increasingly hot on the agenda, helping children manage their health and wellbeing is a top priority. Nothing can beat getting out in the fresh air, meeting friends and having fun, but some children may find apps useful for things such as learning about emotions, managing anxiety etc. There are thousands of these types of apps, but to cut through the fog Internet Matters have put together a list which gives details such as: suitable ages, purpose, how the app works and (where applicable) the cost.

You can find the list of apps HERE.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Take care and stay safe.

Mrs Wilmer
