Well done to all our wonderful children who took part in our celebrations on Friday. Your reverence and participation throughout the whole service was exemplary; you were a credit to your parents and to our school. Thank you to Father Shaun for leading us in worship and to all the teachers for preparing the children so well.

Thank you to all the children and parents who came to support our school today! The children looked fabulous in their poppy T shirts and the paper poppies and the crowns added a splash of colour to our walking float. I hope you all had a chance to visit the art exhibition and see some of the beautiful paintings on display. Well done to our football team for reaching the final today and playing so passionately for the school. We are all very proud of you! Thank you to all the staff for their hard work today. A special thanks goes to Miss Pringle for organising the football team, Mrs Theo for preparing the art work for the exhibition and Mrs McNamara and Mrs Joyce for driving car loads of equipment to and from school early this morning! A real team effort!

It was great to see so many of you at the Kingswood Information Evening on Thursday. For those that were not able to make it, the powerpoint is below, and I will give the forms to your child.
Post-SATs life is upon us and it has been an extremely busy but enjoyable week here in Year 6. We began Spirituality Week by welcoming grandparents into our classroom, where the children found out what their grandparents’ childhoods were like compared to their own. It was interesting to hear that it was extremely uncommon for people to go abroad decades ago, and we discussed why this might have been the case.
Here are some of the impressive portraits that the children drew of their grandparents.
Also on Monday, Year 6 exchanged prayer cards with their Reception reading partners, ate some cake, then spent some time playing together. They all had great fun getting the parachute out!
As is traditional for Spirituality Week, the Year 6s led the rest of the school in the Spirituality Stations – a chance for each class to spend half an hour in the hall and be still an reflective whilst participating in various prayerful activities. There were comments from staff members about how well the Year 6s led the rest of the school – well done.
In English, we have moved onto a new unit based around a book called The Island. The children have enjoyed getting into the role of the different characters, and are being kept in suspense about how the story ends!
We are lucky enough to have Mr Dugan teaching PE between now and the end of term, with the focus being on cricket.
A huge well done to all those that participated in the Oakmere Mini Marathon this morning: you did yourselves proud. Congratulations in particular to Ellie (who came 1st out of the girls) and Ben (who came 8th out of the boys).
Once again, it was wonderful to see every single one of you auditioning for a part in the Y6 production. I will be blogging another post in the next couple of days to outline what you need to learn song-wise over half term, but you’ll need to make sure you know all your lines by the time we come back so that we can hit the ground running with rehearsals.
Well that’s another half term gone in a flash. Well done for all the hard work you’ve put into your learning. It’s been an extremely busy few weeks, so have a restful week off and I’ll see you all on the 4th June.
SATs are over! Well done to each and every one of you for the fantastic effort you put into this week. You all gave it your absolute best and you ought to be proud of yourselves whatever the mark on the paper at the end of it.
It is now time to start work on our End-of-year Production. Click here for the list of parts from which to choose. I have given you all audition sheets, and here is a reminder of what you need to prepare.
If you’re auditioning for a male part, then prepare one of the Bugsy’s sections on page 4.
If you’re auditioning for a female part, then prepare Blousey’s lines from the dialogue on page 6.
If you’re auditioning for a part that requires solo singing, then prepare the first verse of I’m Feeling Fine, in addition to lines as above.
Here is the song:
And here is the backing track version:
We also need to start learning the songs that everybody will be singing.
Happy practising and I look forward to listening to you next week (day to be decided).
We are encouraging pupils, parents or carers to swap four wheels for two feet and give walking a go this Walk to School Week 21st to 25th May.
As part of the challenge this year, pupils will be encouraged to wear the shoes that make them happiest – whether that is the brightest, jazziest or craziest shoes they own, to celebrate Living Streets’ Happy Shoesday on Tuesday 22nd May when we will be celebrating.
Our message in school is that walking to school is a brilliant way to get active and healthy. It’s also a great opportunity for our children to learn vital road safety skills and make sure they’re alert and ready to learn at the start of a new day. Walk to School Week is part of National Walking Month organised by ‘Living Streets’.
This year Living Streets is urging families to pledge to walk to school via their website. Please bring a suggested donation of £1.00, to be sent to Living streets, the UK’s only charity for everyday walking. Living Streets say:
parents who walk find the journey to school less stressful,
petrol bill goes down, and pollution
fewer traffic queues and parking issues
children perform better at school
Children & parents feel healthier and fitter.
Teachers report that those pupils who walk to school are more attentive once they reach their desks.
Over 400,000 pupils took part in Walk to School Week 2017 – and this year is shaping up to be even bigger.
Please join in and support this fundraising campaign!

In preparation for Grandparents’ Week (the week after next), please write a poem or prayer about your grandparents. Make it personal and think about special memories you have with them.
Additionally, please bring in a photo of a grandparent of yours for an art lesson on Thursday.
You’ve all put in so much hard work – enjoy your weekend and make sure you get lots of sleep! And remember:
Excellence is not being the best; it is doing your best.
