If you are coming after 3.20pm you may stay in the classroom.

Thank you to all the parents who attended the Maths Workshops, I am sure you will have found them useful.

If anybody has taken a CRB request form but have not returned it yet please collect a new one from the Coumes office as the request form has now changed.

A reminder that the deposit of £10 for the Y5 Thornbridge residential taking place in November should have been returned by today. If your child does not want to go on this trip we do still need the reply slip returning so that we are aware that you have received the information.

The SYPTE sent a bus into school to ‘teach’ the Y6 pupils how to use the transport sensibly and safely.

Monday 12th July is ‘Move Up’ day when all the children will spend the day in their new class and the Y6 pupils will spend the day at Bradfield.

Following on from ‘Environment Week’ the children in Y4 and Y5 have produced ‘Graphic Art’ style posters on aspects of looking after the environment with Mr Askham. They have produced some stunning posters.
