Week Beginning 14th July 2008

Hello and welcome to a very emotional blogspot, our last of this academic year!

As of yet we have still not received our Year 6 SATs results in school. We are hoping they will arrive this week but as you are probably aware there have been a number of problems with new systems introduced this year. We aim to get the results out as soon as we receive them. Thank you for your patience.

There are a number of things happening in school this week so here we go.

Monday
The whole school are on their annual visit to Gulliver's World. We will be leaving school at 9.15am and returning at 3pm.
We hope that the weather will be kind to us but remembering last year's wash out please ensure your child has a waterproof coat.
All children will need a packed lunch with a few drinks as are out for the whole day.
They can bring a couple of pound to spend in the shop but as the children have visited Gulliver's World on a number of occasions we will not be spending a long time in the shop.
When we return to school please collect your child from the playground as usual, it is very difficult to keep track of where the children are if parents collect them from the coaches.
Thank you to all those parents who have offered to help out, we really appreciate it.

Tuesday
On Tuesday evening at 6.30pm we have a real treat in store. The children will be performing some songs in their production 'A Night with the Stars'.
You should have received your tickets for this production and some for Wednesday afternoon's production. If they have not made their way home please see one of the team as soon as possible. We cannot allow admission without a ticket due to health and safety.
We would like to thank parents for their effort with the children's costumes, they are fantastic and we had a real laugh on Friday when they tried them on. Thank you very much it really makes a big difference to the performance.

Wednesday
We will also be performing on Wednesday afternoon at 1.30pm.

Wednesday evening is the time for the leavers disco, very emotional and lots of fun.

Friday
On Friday we have our leavers mass. It will take place in the school hall at 9am, you are very welcome to join us but as usual space is limited.

On Friday we say a final goodbye to out Year 6 children. This is a very said time for us as we have watched them grow into the young people they are today. We hope that they will come back and visit us from time to time and make us feel really old!
We wish them all the luck in the world with lives, in high school and further.

We will see our Year 5 children next year and they now know which teacher they will be having. You should have received their reports on Friday.
We look forward to welcoming our Year 4 children into Year 5/6.

Finally thank you for your support this year, it has been very busy but happy and we have had a great time along the way!!

See you September.

Year 5/6 Team.
