The girls scored over 90% for both maths and English, with one pupil scoring 100% in her maths test. Thank you To all the parents/carers who have supported at the Sports Days in recent weeks. To all the parents/carers who have come into school and helped out in various ways especially the dedicated group who have helped with reading every Friday afternoon. I would also like to thank all the volunteers who have accompanied our children on visited to various places both locally and further afield. Goodbye to Year 6 I would like to take this opportunity to say goodbye to all the girls as they leave and move on to their various secondary schools. Also to say goodbye to many of the Year 6 Parents / Carers who are leaving us after many years of visiting the school with their daughters. Best wishes for the future. Year 6 Revision Books If your daughter still has her Maths KS2 Revision Book at home please return it to school, thank you. Holiday Diaries Years 3, 4 and 5 On many reports we wrote about your daughters needing to practise their writing skills during the summer holidays, to use her writing skills. This week your daughter will be given a Holiday Diary to record some of the activities that occur during the summer. We do not expect your daughter to write every single day but a few entries each week, writing about something special would be very helpful. She could also draw pictures, stick in any post cards, entry tickets or photographs. The book will be returned after the new teacher has read it. The girls who complete the task will be given an opportunity to attend Film Club. End of term On the last day the girls may wear their own clothes to school for a contribution of £1 which will go towards equipment for Mrs Smith’s Kitchen. School ends at 2pm on Thursday 19th July.
