Dear Parent/Carer

What a great start to the summer term! Our children have come back ready to learn and enthusiastic. Year 3 have enjoyed their swimming sessions and made huge improvements, even jumping in the deep end! Year 6 are busy

doing the last bit of revision before their SATS on May 8th. Despite our school being used as a polling station over the next few elections school will still be open as normal.

Can I remind parents that the staff car park is only to be used by staff and parents who require disabled access. Mr

Wilson has been busy monitoring the school gates, I’m sure you would agree that this should not be Mr Wilson’s role during his busy morning and evening schedule. Please DO NOT use the staff car park.

I am really pleased to inform you that following requests made on our Parent Questionnaires, we are no longer

renewing our ‘Text to Parents’ and will be purchasing ‘Parent Apps,’ this will enable you to access our new school

website in an App form on your smart phone. I will inform you as soon as this App is live.

Can I remind you that school closes on Thursday 25th May at the normal time of 3:20pm. School opens on Wednesday 7th June for the remaining summer term. Year 6 will leave for Kingswood on this day.

Ms V Roberts (Headteacher)

NEWSLETTER – Tuesday 2nd May 2017

Celebrating Talents beyond school. Congratulations to Taylor who won a trophy in a BMX competition! We were so impressed that we thought a visit to the Happy Book was also needed! What an interesting hobby! If your child has a hobby you would like to share with us please email school with the details.

Year 4 Active Soccer Football Year 4 took part in an Active Soccer tournament this week. The team won 2 games and lost 1 in their group, which meant they went through to the semi final. Despite their fantastic efforts they were beaten by 1 goal ! Unlucky boys! A big thank you for representing our school in such a positive manner and for being excellent Park Brow role models. Well done Year 4.

SMSC Theme for this week is Safety As the light nights are upon us this week’s assembly focus has been around trust and keeping safe in the community. Year 5 on the other hand have been learning all about CPR and First Aid with Mr Beckwith.

Year 4 had the task of completing some very important homework. They were asked to find out as much information about The Romans and present their findings to their class. The children (and Parents) really got stuck into the project and produced some wonderful work. We had Roman costumes, a Colosseum made from biscuits, power points full of Roman facts, mosaic tiles and many other examples of Roman Life. Well done Year 4 you obviously enjoyed the project! The pupil’s work is displayed outside their classroom.

Year 4 Focus Week
