Dear Parents and Carers

Firstly, thank you to all the parents and staff who contributed to our summer fete last week, by providing support on the day, or helping with the preparations, and to those who came along to the event on the day. The event was a great success, and we raised £900. This money will go towards our fundraising for replacing the Key Stage 2 climbing equipment. Some photographs from the fete can be found on the back page.

The next upcoming event in our school calendar will be Sports Day on Friday 14th

July, and also the Year 6 BBQ after school on the same day. We then have the Dance Extravaganza on Thursday 20

th July, and then finally the whole school church service on Friday 21

st July which is also the last day of the

summer term, as Monday 24th

and Tuesday 25th

July are INSET days and the school will be closed to pupils on these days.

Finally, please note that this will be the final newsletter of the year as the South Bersted Bugle will be issued soon.

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING IN CLASS?

Friday 30th June 2017

We have also had a great time performing ‘Greece

Lightening’ to our friends and families.

SUN SAFETY

We will be running a fund raising event for our chosen charity,

The Big Build Kenya. The children will be taking part in a ‘Move

for the Walk’ sponsored walk around our golden mile. Letters

and sponsor forms are being sent home today. Please could we

ask for your co-operation in returning your child’s sponsor

form and money by the deadline of Thursday 20th

July, as we

are unable to hold any money over the school holidays.

RECEPTION: We have been receiving challenges this week

from the ‘Phonic Pirates’ who want to help us get better

at phonics and handwriting. In Maths, we have been

learning to recognise different coins and which change to

choose, in our role play.

YEAR 1: We have had a busy week, practising for our

class Collective Worship. On Thursday, we visited

Vitacress Nurseries. We learned lots about how to grow

herbs and we were able to bring home a plant each to

grow at home. Word of the Week: ROBOTICS

YEAR 2: We have been learning about measuring using

millimetres and centimetres. We have enjoyed extending our

ICT skills and now have our own files on the network and can

save and do all sorts of word processing using ‘Word’.

Word of the Week: MONITOR

YEAR 6: We have worked so hard on our production

this week. We have also been revisiting fractions in

maths and have been writing descriptions of a

Cyclops. We have also been celebrating our SATs

results. Word of the Week: CELEBRATION

YEAR 4: We have been learning to write a

descriptive piece using a different perspective. In

Maths, we have been learning how to find fractions

LETTER S SE NT HOME T HI S WEEK

WATER BOTTLES

Once again, we must remind parents and carers of the

importance of ensuring children are adequately

protected from the sun during school hours:

Please apply a high factor sunscreen to your child before school

Please ensure your child has a named sunhat in school everyday

As you know, all children are encouraged to have a water bottle in

school. Recently we have had an increased amount of sickness

bugs in school. Therefore, with immediate effect your child will

bring home his/her water bottle every day; please ensure this is

washed and returned to school every morning. During the day,

children do not always remember to drink from their own bottles;

ensuring bottles are washed each day will reduced the spread of

bugs and germs in school. Thank you for your co-operation.

Replacement bottles are available to purchase from the school

office for £1.
