4th May 2023 Newsletter – Coronation Special

This week’s top news & reminders

What an incredible Coronation Celebration day we’ve had today! Special thanks to Mrs Parker and Mrs Boyle for their amazing efforts, and of course Mrs Chapman and Mr Bonner for their acting skills. Enjoy the photos and songs below!
 
Good luck to our Year 6 pupils who sit their SATs tests next week. We are so proud of the hard work they have put in. Parents, they are a real credit to you.
 
Sports Day is on Friday 26th May. We’ll send out more details next week, but a reminder that KS2 parents are welcome to join us in the morning for the races, all parents for a picnic lunch, and KS1 parents in the afternoon.
 

Listen to us sing

For those whose who couldn’t join the singing today, here are a couple of songs for you to enjoy!

FOSM Updates

Sponsored Walk Details

A brand new event to highlight the importance of exercise, bring families together and help raise money for the school!

When: 21st May, from 1pm. 
Details: The route will start and end at school but will involve a 2.5km or 5km route utilising footpaths and parks around the area. Each participant who crossed the line will receive their very own medal. Decide your distance on the day. Bring your family and friends and lets raise money for our school! Departure times will be set close to the day with the first wave leaving at 1pm. Can’t make the date? Enter anyway and walk your own 5km walk at a time that suits you.
