Dear Parents, Carers, Governors and Friends, I can’t believe this half term is over already. The children have all done lot’s of great learning and have definitely earned their half term break. A special mention to Yr 2 who have been focussing on their SAT’s over the last couple of weeks and have all really tried their very best. Welcome back to Yr 6 who had a fabulous week in the Isle of Wight – please look on the website and Twitter to see what they got up to while away. Thank you again to all the staff who made this possible. Have a great half term and we’ll see you back on Monday June 6th – and remember the following Monday is an Inset Day so school will be closed to the children.

Assembly with J'amies Gymnastics Academy On Wednesday we were very lucky to have a talented guest in assembly. Jamie, director of J’amie’s Gymnastics Academy demonstrated to the children how talented you can be if you work hard at your sport. Poor Mr. Robertson and 7 other children were asked to lie down while Jamie spring-boarded over their bodies and finished with a somersault on the mat!! Jamie’s Gym have several clubs after school, as well as an academy in the school gym on Wednesday nights. Look at their website www.jamiesgymnasticsacademy.co.uk for half-term holiday sessions. A flyer is also going home in the children’s book bags. You can also see Jamie on YouTube showing his talents on the Britain’s got talent stage this year- look out for him again next year!
Year 1 Year 1 have been working with the coaches on problem solving in PE. Working as a team to get across the hall on 'rafts' and keeping out of the shark infested water was great fun! It was great to see them developing communication, cooperation and leadership skills – well done
