We have been very impressed and proud of a number of pupils from both Year 6 classes who took time at home to write to the Prime Minister in order to outline their concerns with regard to plastics in the environment. All the children involved have received personalised, written responses from the communications office at 10 Downing Street, praising them for their initiatives and promising to forward their letters on to DEFRA!
We were all very excited to learn that Blake had received the first response. It is great for the children to see that their voice will be listened to and can make a difference. As you can see from the letter, Blake received a very comprehensive reply! The pupils are relishing the opportunity to raise their concerns further with Alan Mak – our local MP – when he visits the school on Friday 18th May.
Many thanks to all parents who have completed their reply slips for the upcoming trip to the Houses of Parliament. If you have yet to inform school if your child will be taking part, please could you let the office know as soon as you are able? Many thanks.
We are working with great focus in the run up to the SATs and have been super impressed with the positive attitudes and can-do mindset that pupils are bringing into school on a daily basis. Thank you to all who are giving extra encouragement and support with reading, maths and grammar – it really is making a difference!
Following a vote, we are pleased to announce that the Year 6 end-of-year production for 2018 will be……..Annie! The script has been ordered and we hope to have auditions completed and parts allocated before the summer half-term to allow children to get to grips with their lines! There are many parts to fill and we are looking forward to putting on a great show for your enjoyment.
Thankfully the sun has returned. Unfortunately the Year 6 classrooms can become very warm as a result so we would be grateful if you can ensure your child has a water bottle in school to keep them as cool as possible. Many thanks.
