A huge congratulations to our Gold Book children for Summer 1 half term - it has been so hard for the staff to choose, but these superstars have really excelled themselves since Easter!

Dear Parents/Carers,

 I hope you have been enjoying the sunshine over the last two weeks. It has been very hot in school and I thank everyone who has been

sending their children in cool summer uniform. When children get hot, they overheat and for some this isn’t condusive to calm interactions and behaviour.

We have some children who have to be encouraged to take coats and sweatshirts off…It would be helful if all parents/carers considered this when bringing children into school in the morning…

 The past two weeks have continued to be positive for the majority of children. If we are aware of issues we address them pro-actively so that breaktimes and lunchtimes can be a positive experience and I thank staff teams who enable this.

 If you have any issues or concerns re. children’s behaviour towards each other I ask that you work with us to address them. Any interactions you have should go through the appropriate channels so that relationships and conversations between parents/carers are appropriate on the school site.

 During the last two weeks children in Year 6 have enjoyed a residential experience at The Brighouse and I loved all the photos of their activities which were shared on Twitter and ClassDojo…Role play areas in Nursery and Reception enhance learning and stimulate conversations… Year 3 have enjoyed a variety of workshops in school and a visit to Handsworth Park as part of the Jubilee celebrations…Identified Year 5 children have participated in a Triathlon…Nurture group children have been bowling…Year 2 have enjoyed African drumming workshops…Stars of the Week continue to be celebrated in each class…The list goes on…

 We wish our athletes the best of everything as continue to prepare to take part in Bimingham Athletics Championshiops and thank the staff who give up their time after school to make this possible.

 Mr Hegarty is working hard to ensure that Sports Day events will take place this year in quite a different format.Please watch this space for more information.
