Dear Parents and Carers,

Sports Day
Thank you to everyone who managed to come and watch our Sports Day. I am sure you will agree that all the children competed brilliantly and everyone had a lovely time. There are photos on the Penhaligon Class Blog.

Britain or Brazil?
Next term our topic will be ‘Britain or Brazil?’ As part of this topic, we will be making carnival costumes and we will attempt a carnival float! We would be very grateful of any donations of large boxes and collage materials that you may have. Please bring them in after the half term holiday.

Outdoor School Sessions
On Wednesday mornings next half term, we will be running Outdoor School sessions. These will take part on the beach when the tide allows and on days when this is not possible, we will do a Forest School activity in the Environmental Area. Your child will need to be in suitable clothes, e.g. sun hat, sun cream, warm coat, wellies and be prepared to be working outside whatever the weather. We will need a few extra adults to help and will put up a sheet for willing volunteers to sign up on after half term.

Swimming
Next half term will have swimming lessons on Monday and Friday. We still do the lessons even if it is a bit drizzly so please ensure that your child has their kit every Monday and Friday even if it’s not sunny! They need a one piece swim suit and a towel. If your child will be using goggles, please send a note confirming that you want them to wear their goggles. Please ensure that all kit and uniform is clearly named.

SATS
The children have done their writing SATS this week, we will administer the reading and Maths SATS after half term and their final assessments will be on their reports which you will receive in July.

Head lice
Sorry to finish my newsletter like this, but we have had a case of head lice reported this morning. Could you please check your child’s hair for any lice over the holidays, thank you!

Have a lovely break and we will see you back here on Tuesday 2nd June (Monday is a staff training day.)

Thank you.

Mrs Burns and Mrs Smitheram.
