Welcome back to you all and we hope you all had a restful and safe Easter break.

The children have quickly been immersed in their learning this term and the buzz of learning is definitely apparent throughout the school! Thank you also for those who have attended the ‘Zoom’ sessions so far, and we look forward to seeing the other year groups in the coming week. If you were unable to attend the session to find out about the up and coming learning and events, the recordings are found on the year group page on the school website. If you do have further questions, please do not hesitate to pop in and ask the class teachers: this is a very, very busy term, with a lot going on!

The summer term always is a fantastic time in primary schools. We have the rest of the residentials, statutory assessments, sports afternoons coming up, leavers events … so busy! We also are planning an extended transition period in the half of the term where the children will spend time with their new class teacher in their existing classrooms. This will be over a period of 5 weeks. This is to ensure that the transition to September will be really smooth for all involved! There will be plenty of time also for families to get to know the children’s new teacher within this time. We will keep you updated on these transition arrangements as the term unfolds.

As massive thank you to our PTFA and parents who organised the Discos last night. There is a lot of organisation which goes on behind the scenes in order for events like this to go ahead, and we know how much the children enjoy it. Thank you to all the staff who stayed and supported as well as the fantastic DJ Will! It was also amazing to see so many people at the PTFA meeting earlier today: as a school community, we are really grateful for everything you do and we can’t wait for more exciting events in the future.

We wish you all a restful weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday!
