Dear Parents and Carers, Thursday 17 th June 2010<br />
How quickly is this half term moving along? I think it’s probably because the school is so busy with such a range<br />
of fun, exciting and memorable learning experiences taking place at the moment. You may have seen Year 6 out<br />
and about on the roads this week undertaking their Bikeability Cycle training.<br />
Have you heard our Samba band? Class 3 are making great progress with learning Samba rhythms at the<br />
moment and they will perform as part of our music concert in a few weeks time.<br />
Well done to the Maypolers who did really well at the Village Fete on Saturday, the sun shone and all went well.<br />
Thanks also to Rachel Herbert and Jo Barker as well as the other parents who have lead, helped and supported.<br />
The next dance will be at the Longdown Village Fete.<br />
Class 4 visited the Sidmouth Observatory last week as part of their science topic Earth, Sun and Moon, the<br />
children really enjoyed the planetarium and Mrs Barker said that the children were ‘fantastically’ behaved<br />
and asked the guides lots of really relevant and thoughtful questions. Such visits really make a difference to<br />
children’s learning and are far more real and meaningful than other teaching approaches.<br />
Parent Questionnaires, we have had a great number returned, please could any outstanding ones be returned<br />
as soon as possible, your comments are always really helpful and help shape the future of the school. This week<br />
I have been conducting a questionnaire of pupil’s views and these outcomes, along with those from parents<br />
will be used to help shape out school improvement plan for next year.<br />
Great Outdoors Week: Don’t forget that on Monday for Classes 1 and 3 is a dressing up day, come as<br />
explorers, the children in these two classes will start the week with a local walk, collecting and sketching ready<br />
for the clay workshop later in the week. I suggest that any costumes are not too elaborate, something suitable<br />
for a walk and explore. If you have anytime to help with the clay workshops on Wednesday or Thursday please<br />
add your name of the board in the entrance hall.<br />
Can you help FIS with teas and coffees on Sports day or man a stall for the summer Fete? If so please sign up<br />
on the clipboard in the entrance hall, the more helpers the better!<br />
Sports Day: Sports day will commence at 9:30am with a picnic lunch on the field, children can either have a<br />
bag meal or packed lunch with their parents. All parents are welcome to join us for the morning, if needed Sports<br />
Events will continue into the afternoon. All the children will be active throughout the morning, with a circuit sport<br />
of activities followed by flat races. We didn’t get to do our Sports Day last year because of the weather but the<br />
atmosphere was great the year before, when for the first time children from Foundation to Year 6 all took part.
