Mr page's news update

It was lovely to end last week with our first ever colour run. It was wonderful to see the children have such a good time and to welcome so many parents to join in the fun. I am sure parents enjoyed their bathrooms becoming multi-coloured when trying to remove the paint. As always, it takes a lot of organisation to put on such great events and I would like to thank our PTA and parent volunteers who helped make this event such a success. The event raised over £6,500 which is amazing. This will be used to develop and improve the school moving into the next academic year. All of the children will benefit from this and I cannot thank everyone involved enough.

The PTA events do not stop there. They have organised the Year 6 leavers disco/prom this evening and we have 'break the rules day' next week. I am looking forward to breaking a few rules with the children. Thank you once again to the PTA and parents for all of the hard work to support the school and to give children the best possible school experience and environment.

The end of the term and academic year is fast approaching. We still have lots to look forward to. The events include a Leigh Academies Trust sports day, class trips and sporting tournaments. Please keep an eye on MCAS, Google Classroom and the key dates on this newsletter.

I hope you all have a good weekend and hopefully there is not too much hiding behind the sofa on Saturday afternoon when England (try to) play football. There is also a wealth of other sporting events for the children to watch and engage with; the British Grand Prix, Wimbledon and England v New Zealand in Rugby Union to name but a few.

I would like to finish this week's newsletter to say how proud I am of all of the children at Paddock Wood Primary Academy. How they conduct themselves on a daily basis is exemplary and they always give their best in all that they do. You should all be extremely proud of each and every one.

See you all next week.

You are Invited to Year 6's Summer Exhibition

Our year 6 children have spent the last 4 weeks working on their summer exhibition. This year they have been inquiring into what new buildings they would like to design for Paddock Wood. They have researched what our community needs, designed buildings that are practical and sustainable and planned how to make sure their ideas serve the community.

The children have produced outstanding work and we would love as many members of our community to visit the exhibition and hear what the children have achieved.

If you can support our year 6, please come in and have a chat with them about their brilliant projects.

pta break the rules day

Back by popular demand, the day that all the kids have been waiting all year for… Break the Rules Day is happening on Thursday 11th July!

Yes that’s right, the kids get to break the rules whilst raising funds for the PTA.

Children can break any of the rules listed (up to a maximum of 5) for a cost of 50p to £1 each.

Children should bring the cash to school on the day and tell their teachers which rules they are breaking.

Further details of the rules to break can be found on the poster.

How many will your child choose to break?

Watch out PWPA!

Thank you for your continued support over the academic year, we couldn’t do it without you.
