Dear Parents/Carers
Next week in Year 5 and 6, Year 6 children will be taking part in a 'virtual trip' to 'The Isle of Not Quite.' Like you, we were disappointed that the usual residential trip for the Year 6s didn't go ahead this year. We wanted to do something special for them, so they can create memories of their final few weeks at Down Hall. During the week they will take part in activities, in school, which will mirror some of the things they would have done on the Isle of Wight.
We hope they enjoy it, embrace the silliness and make some life long memories. Photos to follow next week!
End of term reports
On the 8th July, your child will receive their end of term report detailing their progress and areas for future development. Although there are no formal assessments made this year, due to the National lockdown at the beginning of Spring Term, the report will contain an indication as to whether your child is working towards or working at national expectations. There will be an opportunity to discuss this report in a Zoom parent/teacher meeting after you have received the report. Further details of all of this will follow shortly so keep an eye on the weekly newsletter!
Sunny weather
Hopefully this won't jinx things! As summer seems to have made an appearance this week, please ensure that your child wears sun cream, brings a hat if they need it and a full water bottle each day. We are trying to spend as much time outside as possible and we all need to be predicted from that big yellow thing in the sky..... I seem to remember it being called 'the sun!'
Sapphire PE
This coming week, Sapphire class will have an extra PE lesson on Thursday. Therefore, they will need to wear PE kits on Wednesday AND Thursday this week. Miss Reale, who is working in Sapphire class, needs to teach a PE lesson as part of her teacher training. Miss Sharman will also be present at the lesson.
Finally, we would like to wish you all a wonderful weekend.
Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
