Welcome
back and a (slightly belated) Happy New Year to you all!
It is great to be back in the swing of things again and
we are sure this next half term will bring huge fun and inspired learning
opportunities for all children.
It isn’t very often that you welcome a plethora of
alien life into a school on the first day back, but that is exactly what
happened here! Cleverly coinciding with the launch of the new Disney Star Wars
film, Year 5 has decided to explore space. Even the teachers were somewhat
altered on that first day. I can happily report that they have returned to
their usual selves….for now at least!
Our super Year 6’s are already beavering away in their
studying and we are pleased to be able to invite some of them to additional
booster sessions after school. These will continue to be run by Mrs Simpson and
myself from 3.15-4.15pm on a Monday afternoon. Don’t be surprised if your child
starts to come home with additional workbooks or revision over the next few
months. This is all usual practice and if you have any questions about the
build up to SATs then please do get in touch.
It’s all quite dramatic in Year 2 at the moment, with a
drama focus and two ‘guest’ teachers joining us earlier in the week. There was
a very theatrical air around the two classes and we are looking forward to
finding out even more soon.
