Newsletter no. 35

19th June 2026

Dear Parents / Carers,

I hope you all managed to stay as cool as possible this week. It was warm and this beautiful weather is set to continue next week. Please ensure that your child comes to school wearing sun cream and a blue sun hat. A reminder that we have school sun hats for sale from the school office at £5.00 each.

We also have our second-hand uniform for sale, also available by the school office. So, please come along and take as much as you need. Each item is £1

St George Class Assembly

On Wednesday, the whole school came together with the parents of St George Class for a special Collective Worship.

During the assembly, St George Class demonstrated just how much they have grown since joining us in September. Their confidence shone through as they spoke and sang in front of a large audience, proudly sharing their recent learning and achievements.

The children taught us about the Catholic Social Teaching principle of Care for God’s Creation, highlighting the importance of protecting animal habitats so that wildlife can thrive in our wonderful world. They reminded us that we all have a responsibility to care for and protect the world God has entrusted to us.

Father’s Day Assembly

Thank you for participating in our Father Day Liturgy. It was lovely to see so many of you there. The children wanted to show our fathers and father figures how much they love and appreciate you.

Our Year 1 and 2 Faith Leaders worked with me to write the Liturgy. They chose the songs the children came into the Liturgy to and what song they left the hall to. They also chose the Gospel reading and wrote the Prayers. I am very proud of them all.

School Summer Hats

As we move into the summer months, please ensure that your child comes to school with a summer hat to help keep them safe in the sun.

We kindly ask that children also:

Bring a reusable water bottle (not single-use)
Have sunscreen applied before arriving at school

If your child requires a blue summer hat, these are available to purchase from the school office for £5. This is cheaper than purchasing from Hewitt’s (£5.75) or Amazon (£5.29).

Year 2 Visit to Coombe Wood

On Tuesday 23^rd June, Year 2 are visiting Coombe Wood. The trip will link to their science, art and geography learning. The children will be looking at the wooden land habitats as a contrast to a costal habitat. They will also be doing some still life drawing of the natural world.

Nursery Visit to Bocketts Farm

On Friday 26^th June, Nursery will be visiting Bocketts Farm. They are reading the book I LOVE ANIMALS this half term and this trip links very well with what they are learning. They will have the opportunity to see the animals they have been learning about and learn about what they eat and what their young are called.

If your child is attending the trip please ensure they are dressed in the appropriate school uniform for the weather and that they have their water bottle and packed lunch in a named backpack.

End of Year Disco

We will be having end of Year disco’s in July to have a fun end to the year. We will be holding the discos:

Reception 1^st July 2026

Year 1 and 2 8^th July 2026

The children can come dressed in their disco clothes that day and it will run from 3.30pm-4.30pm

It will be £5 a ticket and the children will receive a drink and a light snack.

You can purchase the tickets from the school office paying cash or card.

We would like some parent volunteers to help at the discos. If you are able to help please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Junior School Summer Fair

A date for your diary:

The Junior school summer fair is on Friday 26^th June 2026.

There will be games to play, a bouncy castle, BBQ and so much more.

Golden Table

The Golden Table was back this week. I had the pleasure of having these six wonderful children joining me.

Ewomazino in St George Class,

Sonny in St George Class,

Brielle in St Therese Class,

Richard in St Martin Class,

Ifechukwu in St Francis Class,

Ebubechkwu in St Francis Class.

It is always so lovely to spend time with the children and have conversations about themselves and their family.

Ice Poles and Ice Cream For Sale

To continue to raise some funds for our school the student council have had the idea of selling ice poles and ice cream.

So, with the sunny weather upon us we will be selling ice poles/ice creams every Friday after school, in the KS1 playground. £1 an ice pole and £2 an ice-cream. Thank you for your contributions.

If there are any parents who are willing to come and help sell the ice creams it would be greatly appreciated as I am unable to supervise the gate and sell ice creams at the same time. If you are able to help please let me know, thank you.

Wednesday Word

Courage

A word from the Saints

“To have courage for whatever comes in life- everything lies in that”

St Teresa of Avila

Dear Lord Jesus,

Please give us the courage always to do and say what is right and help us to remember that we can put our faith in you.

Amen
