Thank you so much to all the parents that turned out to watch the children at Sports Day yesterday. We had a fantastic day and the weather was kind to us! There are a selection of photographs from the day on our Gallery page now.

Thank you too to everyone for the fantastic response to the sponsorship, we are looking at having raised in excess of £1,000 which will make a big difference to us in terms of buying resources and equipment next year. We will let you know the exact figure raised as soon as we have it but thank you once again for your extreme generosity!

Year 2 Production – ‘The Bee Musical’

As you know rehearsals are underway for our end of year production. We will be performing the show on 2 separate dates. Show dates are Tuesday 18^th July at 6.30pm (Please could children be brought back to school for 6pm), and Wednesday 19^th July at 10am. The performance should last no longer than 1 hour.

We are not allocating tickets for the performance and you (or other family members) can attend both performances if you wish, however we do ask that no more than 2 adults per child attend each performance as our hall space and seating is limited. This will be monitored on entry.

Please continue to help your child learn their lines and the songs and please can all costumes be in school by this Wednesday 12^th July. Thank you for all those that have already sent costumes in to school.

If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the Year 2 team.

Thank you.

Year 2 trip – 05/7/17– The Chestnut Centre reminders

• The children can arrive at school at the normal time of 8.50am as the coach will be departing at 9.15am. We are aiming to be back at school by 3.15pm. However, it is impossible to predict the traffic and we will keep you updated via parent mail as our journey back progresses.

• For those children on school dinners, a packed lunch will be provided. Children on packed lunches will need to bring their lunch in a carrier bag. Please ensure it is clearly named and all contents can be thrown away.

• We will have drink breaks before setting off at 9.15am, at lunchtime and on returning at approx. 3pm, but children can also bring an extra drink in a disposable water bottle if they would like. Please note that children will have to carry these themselves.

• Please ensure your child wears full school uniform and, as the trip will involve some walking, also wears appropriate footwear for the weather on the day (trainers or wellies) and brings a waterproof if necessary.

• Following a cloudy start, the current weather forecast is dry and sunny, with temperatures of up to 23 degrees. Should this be the case please ensure your child has had adequate sun cream applied before arriving at school, as we will not be able to reapply during the day, and has a sun hat.

Any questions, please speak to a member of the Year 2 team.

In today’s extremely hot weather conditions we have taken some additional precautions in order to keep the children safe. At lunchtime no toys/balls were put out so as to discourage the children from running around in the heat. The children were instead provided with a choice of shaded areas to sit in and storybooks were provided for the children to sit quietly and read with friends. Access to water has been provided throughout the day (including the duration of the lunch break) and children have been regularly encouraged by adults to go and help themselves to a drink.

During this extremely warm spell, we will assess the weather each day and may shorten the lunch break on some days to prevent the children from spending too much time in the sun.

Please can I remind all parents to provide a sunhat for their child and to apply sun cream to their child before school. Please only send sun cream in to school if your child is able to apply it themselves as staff are unable to re-apply it throughout the day. Please also remind your child not to share their sun cream with other children as this may potentially cause allergic reactions.
