"Only in the darkness can you see the stars" - Martin Luther King, Jr

Dear Parents/Carers, 


We hope you had a lovely bank holiday weekend!


On Tuesday, Year 4 used Purple Mash to create a leaflet about keeping teeth healthy during their RSHE lesson. They demonstrated their understanding about how to maintaining good dental health and used images and key vocabulary.  


Year 5 had swimming on Wednesday and they were extremely excited about further developing their skills from last week. In the morning on Wednesday, the children had Celebration Assembly where certificates were handed out for Star of the Week, TTRS (Times Table Rock Stars) and Pen Licence certificates. In the afternoon, Year 2 enjoyed learning cricket skills in their PE lessons and Year R were using unifix cubes within their maths provision to support them with their counting in twos. 


To celebrate the pending coronation of King Charles III, with the help of the PTA, we hosted a street party at lunchtime in Friday! Our wonderful PTA decorated the outside environment for the children and the fabulous kitchen staff provided a ‘picnic’ lunch. We also welcomed a local councilor, Robbie Lammas, during this event too! The children wore their own clothes (red, white and blue) and continued with their celebrations in the afternoon in class through Coronation activities with their friends. In addition to this, Year R had their parents in for 'Reading with your Child'. Thank you to so many parents, carers and other family members for attending this session as it means a lot to the children.


We hope you have another wonderful long week. We will see the Maundene Community back on Tuesday 9th May 2023.
