1 I LEARN TERM 6 FOCUS: Numeracy 6 th July 2018 A message from the Headteacher: The end of term 6 is a very busy time for us with lots of activities going on daily. We had an absolutely fantastic evening of summer music and dance last night in which our pupils really did us proud. The standard of performance was exceptionally high and being held in a professional venue was a great experience for all of the pupils. We have also had two very successful induction days with our new Year 7 this week. It was great to meet all of our new pupils and of course their parents at the transition evenings. The The Headteacher s Weekly Weekly Newsletter Newsletter You will see details of our enrichment week in this week s newsletter please take particular note of the later start for school based activities during this week. We are fortunate to be running many trips and they will have different starting times being advised by the trip leader for each activity individually. We have a few spaces left for our trip to London on Thursday 19 th July to see School of Rock and would be happy to offer these to parents at a fantastic price of The price includes your ticket and also transport to London which represents great value!

The start time for pupils will also be different we will be registering pupils at 9:45 for a 10 o clock start to the activities. If your child is on a trip there will be an earlier start and this information will be given by the trip organiser. Pupils need to be suitably dressed for their chosen activity and will need to bring water, a hat and sun cream if the weather remains hot. The activities will run on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday as Tuesday is Sports Day and Friday is the last day of term. Your child will receive a letter with which activities they will be doing at the end of next week.

With a variety of acts and ages ranging from Year 7 to Year 10 it really was a night to remember.
