We have some exciting sporting opportunities coming up this term.  It is busy and there are some changes so please take time to read the details below - if you have any questions, please contact the office

PE this term

There will be no PE on the field this term, so children do not need to wear PE kit on a Monday any longer, unless they are taking part in football club on a Monday lunchtime and Reception who have football after lunch. (Children can just bring a change of footwear if preferred)

Instead we are taking advantage of the sporting facilities in the area and we will be taking Years 3 to 6 to Copdock Tennis club on a Thursday morning for tennis lessons for the next 4 weeks.

Online safety update
The long summer holiday always sees children spending more time online with less supervision. So we are once again signposting you to free online safety video series. The videos are on a hidden page on this website so you cannot access the video page without the direct link below.
 
Talent Show update
Mrs Austin has had a wonderful time observing the many talents within our school during auditions. A few more are scheduled for next week and then we will be announcing who will be offered a place on stage for 7th July. We will be notifying you of tickets next week too and the option of ordering popcorn or ice lolly for the event break. There will a small charge for this to cover the cost of the hall hire and of course the snacks. Watch this space!
