ISSUE 87 -  4th July 2025

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Year 5 Swimming

Next week is the last week for year 5 swimming lessons.  They are doing really well, with lots of the children now able to swim without any buoyancy aids.  Well done year 5.

 

Year 4

On Tuesday afternoon, 8th July, year 4 will be visiting St George's Hall for a very special experience.  They will be playing music they have learnt with the renowned Halle orchestra, who are based in Manchester.  This is an amazing opportunity that they have been busily practising for.  

 

End of Year Reports

On Friday 11th July, all children will be bringing home their end-of-year written report.  If you have any questions about their report, then please arrange to speak to their class teacher after school before the end of the school year.

 

Packed Lunches

Please do not include these items in your child's packed lunch as they contain ingredients that some children are allergic to.

Children will not be allowed to eat these in school.

Have a lovely weekend.

Best Wishes,
