Dear Parents and carers,
I hope you have all had a good week back following our half-term break. It is the children’s last term in their current year groups, and it is always a busy time in school for everyone.
Celebration Worship
Next week we will be having our celebration worship on Thursday rather than Friday. Please could you check your inboxes a day early to see if your child is being given a certificate.
Year 4 Trip
Despite the weather, Year 4’s trip to Winchester Cathedral and The Great Hall was a success this week, with several of the staff there commenting on the children’s delightful behaviour. They had a fun day with lots of interesting activities.
Sports Day
Next Friday 13th, is Sports Day, so we’d love for you to join us on the field from 1pm onwards. Please bring an outdoor chair with you if you are intending to sit.
Year R Induction
We held an induction event for our new Year R parents this week. It was wonderful to meet everyone. They now have some taster visits in the coming weeks and Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Jordan have also organised a ‘Teddy Bear’s Picnic’ later in the term so we can meet all the children together with their parents.
New Teacher for September
Our new teacher for September, Sam Deery, will be in and around school on several occasions over the next month, getting to know the children and our staff team. I thought I would include his picture, so you knew who he was if you saw him around. We would like to welcome Mr Deery to our Clatford family.
Cuppa with SENCO
Our last ‘Cuppa with SENCO’ event this year is coming up on Thursday 19th June at 3:30pm. The theme is transitions, which makes sense given its timing in the year. Please do take the opportunity to come and chat to Mrs. Armstrong and join us for a cup of tea after school.
Wishing you all a peaceful and happy weekend,
Mr M Kirk
