It has been another busy week here at Marden. I would like to start by saying well done to all of the children for successfully navigating the heat wave at the start of the week. Their sensible behaviour during such warm weather was commendable, and we are grateful for the support you provided in ensuring that they arrived equipped with their water bottles and sun cream.

On Wednesday, our Eco Warrior club was visited by Miss Petrie (a former pupil) who shared a presentation promoting making Marden a plastic-free community. This was a fantastic way for the children to learn more about the effect plastic can have on our environment and the importance of trying to reduce it. I would like to thank Miss Petrie for taking the time to come and work with our children. 

Today, Year 6 had the wonderful opportunity to present their PYP exhibition to other schools, alongside their parents and families. We would like to express our gratitude to those who attended this event. The children all worked extremely hard on this project so it was lovely for them to have the chance to share it with others. 

Looking ahead, we are pleased to announce that next Tuesday will see our first whole school transition session. This will provide the children with a valuable opportunity to meet their new teacher. We hope this will help the children to foster strong relationships with their new teacher and will support their transition into the next academic year.

Next Wednesday we have our summer fair. As previously mentioned, due to ongoing building work, this event will be conducted during the school day and will be exclusively for the children. We kindly request that the children bring any spending money in a named envelope or purse/wallet, which they should give to their class teacher at the start of the day. This money will be securely held in the office until it is their turn to visit the fair. 

We hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Mrs H Penning
