Goodbye Year 6

 Dear Parent/Carer

Today we said our final goodbyes to the Year 6 children.  They thoroughly enjoyed their Pizza Party on Thursday afternoon and have spent today saying a fond farewell to Down Hall.

Miss Sharman has been working with Year 6 children this week to make a video in place of a leavers' assembly.  It is currently in 'post production' as Miss Sharman has had to be camera woman, director, script writer and editor! Phew! Plus, there was, of course, the obligatory technical problems!

It should be uploaded to Google Classroom at some point over the weekend.  Please remind your children to check.  It is best to watch it on an IPad if possible.  

Don't forget, Parent/Teacher consultations are taking place via Zoom on Monday.  Booking has now closed and you should have been sent your meeting invitation this afternoon.  We have everything crossed that we won't have any issues logging in etc.  If there are any problems, please telephone the school office or email the 5/6 email account.  If for any reason something goes wrong during the meeting, please remain in the waiting room and we will do our best to reconnect you.

Please note, that the Year 5/6 email account will not be monitored between Wednesday 21st July and Wednesday 1st September.  

A letter with details regarding the return to school is available on the school website.

All that is left to say is a huge thank you to all of our parents for your continued support this year.  Have a lovely summer.  Stay safe and we look forward to seeing you in September.

Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall

 Dear Parents/Carers

The end of the year is almost upon us and is creeping up a little too quickly, as it means we are nearer to saying goodbye to our Year 6s.

This week, we have been busy working on an end of year alternative to the assembly that we usually do.  Watch this space next week!

On Wednesday, Year 5 and 6 took part in their sports day events.  Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get the throwing and jumping done, so we will do the rest next week.

It has been a football frenzy at Down Hall this week!  Each class celebrated England's win on Wednesday night with a sing along on Thursday.  Although very tired, the children did their best and we all had Sweet Caroline in our heads all day!

On Monday of next week, the registers will remain open until 10am.  This means, that if your child stays up late and watches the football on Sunday, they can come into school a little later than usual and won't be marked as 'late'.  

Have a lovely weekend

 Dear Parents/Carers

The end of term is fast approaching and our lovely children in Year 5 and 6 have been as busy as ever this week as it has been assessment week.

The children have worked so hard to show us what they can do and we are extremely proud of them.  They will be pleased to know that because of assessments, no homework will be set this week.

It seems the weather has brightened up, which has meant we have been able to do some lessons outside this week.  

We are hoping to complete our sports day events in PE next Wednesday, if the weather allows.  

You may have read in this week's newsletter that Parent/Teacher consultations will take place on Monday 19th July between 8:30 and 3:30.  If you would like to book an appointment with your child's class teacher, please do so using Scopay.

Once you have booked your appointment, we will send you a Zoom link from the Year 5/6 email address.

Have a lovely weekend - enjoy the football if you're watching it!

Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
