Text Box: NEW FACES! Last week we interviewed for a new Team Leader and I am pleased to announce that Miss Holliday has been appointed to this post. This then left us with a class teacher vacancy and we have appointed Joanne Sharples to join our Key Stage One team in September. Miss Sharples is a very experienced teacher who impressed us all on her interview day.

Text Box: Dear Parents, At last we have some sunny weather! The rain over the last few weeks has been difficult to bear for the adults and children but it has been an even bigger nuisance for the builders. For one whole week we had leaks coming through the ceiling of the Dolphin’s classroom and corridor as the builders fought the elements outside. Thankfully the sunny weather has meant that they have now caught up with the roof over our new music studio. My Dolby and the Dolphin’s class have been brilliant about having to work in the hall and I think that they secretly liked their mini-adventure. We have now reached the stage where we can choose the fixtures and fittings for the classrooms, which is very exciting. We intend to buy new furniture for all of the rooms which means that our new Key Stage Two block will look stunning. We are about to approach the part of the project with the greatest disruption for us as a school. We will give up the last part of the field at half term and have to empty our resource room that contains 19 years worth of clutter. We are in discussions with the builders about how they can start the glass roof over the courtyard area so that we can be sure that the library will be finished in time for September. We will be gritting our teeth and putting up with the disruption because we can see what an amazing difference the finished building will make. The summer term is always a very busy one and we have many exciting, ambitious plans for the weeks ahead. Already this term the Foundation Stage children have visited Wimpole Hall Farm and Year 5/6 have visited Peterborough Museum. Year 3/4 took part in an amazing African Drumming and Singing day last week which the children thoroughly enjoyed. In the coming weeks Year 1/2 will visit Whipsnade Park for their own safari. Best wishes,

Text Box: Summer Showcase The Year 5/6 Team are busy with their plans for this summer’s end of year show, ‘The Wind in the Willows’. Once again we have been struck by what talented actors and actresses we have in school and it is a shame that we don’t have a lead role for everyone that wants one. There will be two performances, on the evenings of 15th/16th July. Parents of children in Years 5 and 6 will be given preference when the tickets are allocated.

Text Box: Bicycles We are delighted that so many children are now cycling to school in the warmer weather. We have reminded them that they should dismount from their bikes when they come onto the school site. Children cycling in the carpark are putting themselves at risk and may damage cars that are parked.
