Where has that time gone? We have come to the end of what has been a very busy spring term in school and now look forward to a few weeks respite before we return for an equally busy summer term- Just hope the weather improves.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you give myself and the staff in school-I was able to get to speak to quite a few of you at the parents meetings earlier this week and really appreciate the positive feedback received.
We have achieved a lot so far this academic year, the farm area is now finished and pupils are beginning to benefit from visiting the farm and learning about and caring for the animals. We are hoping that upon our return, after Easter, we will have a few more inhabitants as we have agreed to adopt orphaned lambs from a local farm- when/if it happens I will ensure pictures are shared via the blog/facebook. The children have been on a number of exciting visits and taken part in sporting and academic competitions- for the most part very successfully.
We are only a few weeks away from year 6 SATs which are scheduled to take place week beginning 14th May-however year 6 teachers assure me our pupils are ready and we are confident they will achieve well. Our year 2 pupils will be taking their SATs the following week -they are equally ready and we will ensure for both year groups they are as stress free as possible. Lots more visits are planned for the summer term which include Year 5 residential trip to Mersea so lots to look forward to!
