Week 5,

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had another great week in year 6. The children have worked hard this term and I
wish them all a lovely break at half term!
Just a reminder.
PE

Your child has PE on Monday and Fridays every week.

Your child should wear their PE kit to school on Monday
and Fridays.

Class Assemblies

These will be on Tuesday mornings at 9am. All parents

are welcome to attend. Our class assembly will be on
remembrance day and WW2 and will take place on
Wednesday 11th November. I will remind you again
nearer the time.
Students need to make sure they are wearing full school
uniform each day, including appropriate shoes. Please
ensure that ALL items of clothing are clearly labeled
with your childs first and last name.
Year 6 will be going to Markel International Insurance
Firm (Walkie Talkie Building) near Monument station on
Tuesday 3rd November 2015. Please see the letter
given.

Trips

Please feel free to speak to me about anything; we are available every morning and afternoon
to talk about any concerns or queries you may have.
Kind regards,
