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.

Monday the 16 th July is the start of enrichment week where pupils will have the opportunity to try something new i.e. Gaelic football, jewellery making or something familiar like rounders. We are offering a wide range of activities and trips this week with something for everyone. There will be no lessons this week and pupils do not need to wear school uniform. 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. If the later start during this week causes an issue for you then we will be operating an extended morning club in the Library for pupils to be supervised, otherwise they will be registered in central areas (not I Learn tutor) at 9.45 Dates for your Diary: Monday 16 th -Friday 20 th July Enrichment week Tuesday 17 th July Sports day Friday 20 th July Last day of Term 6 Thursday 23 rd August GCSE Results Day How to contact us: Telephone: 01793 487286 Attendance: 01793 427749 Student Services: 01793 427755 www.lawnmanor.org Email: admin@lawnmanor.org @lawn_manor

Lawn Manor Summer Music Concert Last night saw Lawn Manor Academy music and dance students put on a spectacular show at the Swindon Arts Centre to a packed out audience. With a variety of acts and ages ranging from Year 7 to Year 10 it really was a night to remember. The students worked incredibly hard to put on such a great performance and their professionalism and enthusiasm was plain to see and remarked upon by a number of audience members. They really were a credit to the school and their community and we cannot wait to put together our next showcase! Well done everyone!! Mr Jones
