Mystery Plays

Thank you to everyone for such a fantastic rehearsal yesterday. As you can imagine, with only 2 days to put everything together it takes a great effort from everyone involved.

Mrs Mason has confirmed that your children may arrive late to school both tomorrow and Wednesday mornings.

Please arrive at St James for 6.30pm tonight . Come down the side, through the doors and up the stairs to the café. The rehearsal will finish by 10, but if you feel that your child needs to be picked up earlier, that is also fine by me.

Please come upstairs to collect them, and please see me before you take them!

Dress is casual wear, such as leggings and t shirts, but no white. They will have their faces painted . Also, they will need a party hat/brightly coloured for a carnival. I will try and bring spares.

Thank you,

Mrs Dempster

Year 4 Weekly Update for week beginning 10.07.17

What a great Sports Day! Thanks to the children for their efforts and great team spirit!

Now to our penultimate week:-

Numeracy: Having a last push at this term’s Rainbow Targets and times tables.

DT: We are making some interactive nursery rhyme storyboards to share with our partners in year 1.

We would appreciate some help with this, please let class teachers know if you are able to. Afternoons would be great!

Special Golden Time: As a thank you to the children for their wonderful behaviour in Lihou and across the year, we would like to hold a special Golden Time on Thursday afternoon. This involves a party on the field with water! Children can bring in water pistols or buckets and will need a set of clothes or bathers that they can get wet. A towel, sun hat and sunscreen.

End of year celebration: As a way to celebrate a fantastic year and to make the most of the learning opportunities our local area offers we would like to take the children to Moulin Huet on Wednesday 19th  July. We intend to ‘womble’ down to the beach, possibly visit Renoir’s hut, create some ‘Goldsworthy-inspired art on the beach, explore the rock pools, have some lunch and then wander back up for the end of school. There will be a letter next week with more details. However, you are welcome to join us as some point… why not pop down and have your lunch with us, or come for a spot of rock pooling? Such a beautiful place to relax (even with 80 children!). We do need some help walking to and from the beach so please let us know if you can help with that.

Books: Please could library books and any books borrowed from our bookshelves at school be returned in the next week-our bookshelves are looking empty!

Lost Property: We will be displaying lost property outside the year 4 exit doors at the end of school each day next week. Please have a good look for any ‘lost’ items. Anything left will either be old as 2nd hand uniform, donated to charity or disposed of.

Mrs Karia’s class assembly: Children should have brought home a script, please could you encourage them to learn their lines over the weekend.

Have a good weekend!
