Another week is almost over and they really are speeding by. All year 6 are continuing to work very hard- Elder have successfully been investigating and growing mould! Elm have begun to create their own animations- we look forward to the finished results and possibly being able to share some of them via our blog.
In art we have been looking closely at faces and drawing some fantastic self portraits. With a little help from technology we have now gone on to make a new version of that portrait in the style of Picasso- some very different looking children have appeared over the last day or so!

Today a third of our year group head off to Woollam's, the OAs ground, to play in the Tag Rugby competition promoted by Saracens. An exciting event, long awaited for after the snow put paid to the original date. We wish all our teams good luck in that.

As we move towards the SATs week, Monday 13th May, we are sending home an important letter giving details of times of particular tests and some of the activities that we will be doing alongside. Please take the time to read this carefully and stick it up somewhere useful, we will also put a copy of it here on  the blog. Now is the time to start encouraging your children to eat and sleep well so they are truly on top of things when we go into that week. All the children have worked continuously hard throughout the year and are more than ready for the week; we are already proud of them and what they have achieved whatever the outcomes.

Looking beyond that week we have also sent out the Cycling Proficiency letters this week- we have to submit the numbers very soon so please ensure that this is returned on time, by Friday 10th May.

So, heading into a long weekend let's hope that the sun continues to shine and that everyone has an enjoyable break, albeit a mini one!
