8th July 2019

what a whirlwind of trips and excitement last week was! The children across the school thoroughly enjoyed exploring the different locations. A huge thank you to Shacklewell Families for making the trips possible. This week the Nursery are heading to Hackney Downs for their Sports Day and Graduation before being joined by the Two Year Olds and having a pool party and fish and chips on Thursday 18th July.

This week is all about poetry. The children throughout the school are practising rhythms and rhymes, exploring vocabulary in fun and exciting ways and creating their own original compositions. The children are performing their pieces to their classmates and many of them will be filming their performances with the aim of publishing them online. This is our final writing weeks of the academic year and the children have already shown their creative flair.

On Wednesday you will receive your child's End of Year Report. This document outlines the children's attainment and progress across the year. It also includes images of success from across the year as well as the children's own reflections on their learning. Parents in Year 1 will receive notification of their children's attainment in the Phonics Screening Check, and in Year 2 parents will be notified of the outcomes of the KS1 assessments. Parents and children in Year 6 will also find out the results of the KS2 SATs. This year, as a continuation of Know Me Before You Teach Me, the Year 5 and 6 reports will also include a CV by the children. These documents showcase the children's highlights, passions and creativity from across the academic year. On Thursday after school their is an opportunity for you to speak with your child's teacher about their End of Year report. It is a drop in session so please come to school between 3.45pm-5.00pm to speak with the teachers.

Have a great week,

Rory
