Thanks to the Bank Holiday we have had a short week in
school but there has still been plenty going on. Year 1 visited The Mill Green
Museum, Year 4 went for a walk in the woods and some of the class also took
part in a technology challenge against other schools at Oakmere School. They
had to create jitterbugs using a small electric motor and although they did not
win they had great fun making their creatures.
It was also the Le Gros Netball Tournament at Mount Grace
this week and we entered two teams. All the girls who took part thoroughly
enjoyed the experience and the ‘A’team managed to get through to the semi –
finals but were beaten by Brookmans Park A team who eventually went on to win
the tournament. I would like to congratulate all the girls for the effort they
put into all their games and I would like to thank Mrs O’Brien for helping to
coach them.
Next week in school is one that the Year 6 children never
look forward to because it is SATs week. However, every Year 6 class I have
ever spoken to has always said that it is never as bad as they imagined it
would be and that the week passes very quickly. All we ever ask of the children
is that they do the best they can. In school, when the tests are not taking
place, we try to keep the timetable as normal as possible so that the routine
of the children is disrupted as little as possible. We also recommend that
parents do this with them at home and ensure that the children get to bed at a
reasonable time (without any computing hardware) so they are not tired for
school the next day. This last piece of advice is actually one that we would
recommend for all the children in the school all of the time.
I hope you all have a good weekend. It will seem rather
short after the three day weekend of last week but with the weather getting a
little warmer I am sure that we will all enjoy it. I look forward to seeing you
all again on Monday.
