This week Nursery and Reception Class made the most of the warm sunny

weather by having a splash around in the paddling pool. They all had a
great time splashing their feet and playing catch with one another.
Hopefully this won't be the last time the paddling pool is in use this summer!




Year 1 enjoyed having Paul teach
them and this week they began
drawing portraits of each other
which look really accurate. For a
detailed look, press here. Theyve
also been looking at the Battle of
Bannockburn and they have
been working hard to rehearse all
the songs and actions for the
forthcoming Summer Show
Alice in Wonderland.


There was a myriad of reasons why these children won prizes or certificates in
Celebration Assembly today. See the chart on the next page to find out who
received a certificate and who received a prize. Next weeks focus is for children to
remain patient while rehearsing our Summer Show Alice in Wonderland and can
remember their lines, positions, etc.
As Paul is teaching Year 1, well hold off from awarding a Musician of the Week, but
Im pleased to say that Artist of the Week is back and this weeks winner deserved it.
The Artist of the Week went to Hazel in Year 1. Her portrait of Ava was brilliantly drawn.
She took great care to make sure all the features were in proportion and she really
brought personality to her work. Well done!

Nursery Class

Thalia for trying really hard to learn our song for the summer show. Thalia has been using
her loudest singing voice during rehearsals and been listening excellently to all of the
teachers. Well done Thalia!

Jefferson for always being so curious and asking some brilliant questions. Jefferson is always
so keen to learn and shows excellent listening skills. Jefferson has also being trying extra hard
to learn our song for the summer show. Well done!


Reception Class

George, for an all round super member of class and really listening to the stories we have
read this week, especially the story 'Hey, Little Ant' as he relayed to us that he had taken extra
care to avoid hurting an ant! Plus George remembered and talked about what happens in
each season of the year today - hibernation etc.

Year 1

Jimmy you are 'Star of the Week!' Your enthusiasm to learn is infectious. You were very
interested and passionate when learning about the 'Battle of Bannockburn' and I am pleased
you can re-call facts about the war with ease. You wrote a great diary entry from the point of
view of a Scottish child witnessing the English soldiers arriving to fight. You listen well and
explain your ideas confidently. You have a vivid imagination and you are kind and friendly.
Well done Jimmy! Keep it up!

Year 2/3

Jorge, he is excellent at sitting nicely on the carpet and listening in lessons. He is getting
much better at ignoring distractions in class and choosing to work hard! Well done Jorge!

Menu
The menu has had another revamp and from 7
th
July, we are changing the cycle slightly. The
ability for children to choose an alternative has been very positive for the children and the
kitchen we have much less waste now and we are constantly monitoring their eating habits
and adapting the dishes to suit all tastes. Next week I will email out the new menu cycle and for
now, its live on the calendar (as seen on the blog). Please disregard the blog menu until then
and follow the menu published in this newsletter.
Summer Fete
Not long to go until
our summer fete!
Thank you for all the
donations and offers
of help so far. We're
still in need of bottles
for the tombola,
teddies for the teddy
adoption, prizes for
the raffle and cake
bakers. If you can
help us out please let
Alannah know as
soon as possible.
