20th June The beginning of our week of sport—
Welcome back after a rather rainy half term!
Year 3 enjoyed their first night away, and if this is a precursor to
Caythorpe, then that too will be tremendously successful. The children were an absolute pleasure and a credit to our school – I will
work on some picture collages and attach them privately for year 3
parents later on. I cannot thank Mrs Miller enough for the personal
time she forfeits with her own family to ensure such opportunities
continue.
School Council
Our pupils in the council have been planning their next venture, and
this is to renovate the space behind the shed for use at playtimes.
The council have met to decide what they wish to do, and have decided to have a ‘Bring Your Teddy for £1’ day. They will be making
posters to advertise this shortly, so they tell me.
children need kits in ALL week.

Gardening
Moon Class continue with their project and have been driven to the
Abbey Gardens. The work will be on show and I am sure your children will be able to explain it to you.
Flower Festival
How beautiful the flowers look! Quite remarkable. The children
have asked if they would be allowed to take these home. It is my
understanding from Mrs Lousada that a £2 donation would be appreciated if your child would like to keep their flower when the festival is finished.
Queens WOW day
By the time of going to press, we will have finished our red/white/
blue WOW day. The children will have a picnic style lunch time, and
they will have the scones they make on the day to go with a 3pm
picnic with families. I am hoping the weather will stay nice enough
to show the country dancing they will have learned on the day, and
to parade our crowns too. The children will have had a very British
day of gurning, welly wanging, crown making, scone baking, rhyme
skipping, country dancing and flag making. I am writing the newsletter earlier than usual, as I am fully involved all day Thursday, and
I just can not wait!
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

MOON class
What a lovely week we have had! On Wednesday Moon Class visited Woburn Abbey
Gardens. We had a lovely time exploring in the sun shine and identifiying bugs and
plants. We were able to see some of the seeds we had planted before half term had
now started to bloom. The children also saw the foundations of the temple that we have helped
to create. Please see the pictures below and also our new class mascot, George, who followed
us everywhere around the gardens!

STAR class
We had a great start to the term with some fabulous Olympic torches made by Star class children. We began work on
our Transport topic; children have been drawing self-portraits for our ‘Wheels on the Bus’ display and have been doing some number work based on passengers getting on and off the bus. We had some lovely writing about the children’s trips and
visits over half-term-we thought about how we travel to different places and we made a bar chart to show how we travel to school.
New this week is number sequence speed stacks-the children decided to time each match using the sand timers! Last but not least,
everyone had a great time on the Queen’s birthday.
Something to do at home-spot lorries and trucks: What are they carrying? How many different names can you spot-such as Eddie Stobart?
Superstars of the week: Superstar Friend- Charlie Osborn / Superstar Tidy Ted Helper-Evie Mason (for helping tidy after yesterday’s
activities.)

SUN class
What a lovely beginning we have had to the final half term of this academic year.
Monday saw the Year 3s attend their overnight residential at the Caldecotte Xperience. We spent a glorious sunny afternoon on the rafted canoes and crate stacking followed by an evening activity on the climbing wall. It always gives us such pleasure to
see those children push themselves, sometimes out of their comfort zones to achieve things they didn’t feel possible and what a great
link to the Olympic Values we are looking at this term. The sunshine stayed with us the following morning as they took on water zorbing – some more successful than others! The yurts were a great success too and I have never known a year where we have had to
wake the boys up in time for breakfast.
Today has had a lovely red, white and blue feel and the children have shown real community spirit and are thoroughly enjoying all the
activities leading up to the birthday picnic.
Next week sees a tennis tournament for a selected team of year 3s as the year 4s attend
their residential in York.
