World of Work Week

I wanted to say a big thank you to Mrs Shirra, Miss Tindall and Jo Sykes from Co-op Academies Trust for the organisation and delivery of our hugely successful World of Work Week.  It began with a Launch Assembly on Monday where the children could ask questions about the occupations our volunteers had and ended with a fantastic Careers Fair with a large number of volunteers with a wide range of careers for the children to speak to.  

Year 6 took part in a number of different tasks throughout the week from a Dragons' Den style pitch to Gemma and Jen from Circana, being interviewed by a panel of Governors and Claire Dodd from the Trust for jobs around the academy to preparing a presentation in order to give information to our Year 5 pupils about the World of Work.

Key Events and Class Assemblies

Summer Fair

Our Summer Fair is taking place on Tuesday 25th June 2:30-4pm, thank you to everyone who has sent in a donation for the stalls on our 'Summer Wear for the Summer Fair' non-uniform day today.  It looks like we are going to have fabulous weather next week so remember your sunscreen and hats!  Children can be collected from their usual classroom doors if they are in Nursery, Reception, Years 1 and 2 and from the main office if they are in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 at 2:30pm and I'd like to thank you in advance of next week for your patience when getting your children to you during that busy time.   

Attendance Matters

Our attendance has been extremely low this week as a large number of families have taken holidays during term time.  I would like to remind everyone that holidays during term time are not authorised as children miss essential parts of their learning journey.  

Our winning class was Year 3 with 89.2% and they have won a movie treat.  There are no classes with an extra playtime this week as we haven't managed to get above 96%.  Please can everyone try to be in school every day and on time so we can have much higher whole school attendance next week - thank you for your support with this.  We are still putting names into our raffle to win £50 whenever your child has above 96%+ - remember, you have to be in it to win it!    

 

Key Dates

The key dates for the rest of this year are on our school website which can be found here:

And Finally...

We hope you have a brilliant weekend and enjoy the sunshine safely.  Mrs Shirra will be visiting Hartlepool, Mr Watson will be sunbathing, Mrs Wierzbianski is finally having her nails done and is very excited about it and Ms Pascoe is going to be enjoying the sunshine.  Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a great time and we will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am.
