Thank you

Your extraordinarily generous gifts and cards are hugely appreciated. Thank you so much. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to spend this last year with your children and we have been a very happy band in 2MC. Truly, you have been a very supportive group of parents and that has made an enormous difference.

It’s always hard saying goodbye because you’ve all become such a big part of my life. But hopefully you’ll wave and say hi next year as you walk past on your way to KS2! I wish you all a wonderful summer with your beautiful children.

Matthew.

Kites!

We started making kites on Friday and we finished them today. It was such a joyful sight to see the children flying them! It could have been the 1950s…

Even though it’s our assembly, the children can wear non-uniform clothing tomorrow because it’s dress down Friday. A coin donation towards new playground equipment would be appreciated.

I’m feeling a little sad…

I can’t believe it’s nearly the end of the year. I’ve had a brilliant time with your beautiful children and it has been wonderful to watch them develop and mature. I’ve said this before but it bears repeating: they are an exceptionally kind, affectionate group of little people who genuinely care about each other. In this world, at this time, I feel nothing is more important than that. Truly, it’s an incredible privilege to spend so much time with these precious people and I have loved teaching them.

But of course it’s a team effort and at no point have I felt anything less than fully supported and trusted by the parents. That’s very much appreciated.

Matthew Criddle.

Group hug!

We have had a lot of fun making slime this afternoon and I’ve told all the children to keep their slime in the kitchen and not to play with it anywhere else. Otherwise you will confiscate it!

If you have a Gruffalo costume / T shirt please could you bring it in tomorrow? Many thanks!

It’s Sports Day! The children are welcome to come to school today wearing their PE kits.

PARENTS’ OPEN AFTERNOON

 Tomorrow all parents and carers are invited into school from 2.30pm to work with their children and look through their books.  

Parents will also get the opportunity to see the ‘storyscapes in a shoebox’ that the children created during art week.  Nursery to year 2 will have their work on display in the KS1 Hall, and the KS2 creations will be in the KS2 Hall.

Entry to the school will be via the Turney Road gate only.

SPORTS DAY
Sports Day is taking place on Friday at the Rosendale Road Playing Fields.  The timings are as follows:

• The Early Years and KS1 races commence at 10am,
• KS2 children will arrive at the field for a whole school picnic lunch at 12 noon – please note that the reception children will return to school for their picnic – unless you sign your child out;
• Staff / Parent races at 12.30pm,
• KS2 races commence at 1pm.

Early years and KS1 children should come into school dressed in their PE kit.  KS2 children can come in their PE kit but there will be a chance for them to get changed. Please make sure that your child brings a water bottle and if it is hot they will also need a hat and sunscreen.

The school will provide a packed lunch to all those who have a school dinner, and to those who receive free school meals. Children who normally have a packed lunch will need to bring their own packed lunch. 

We really hope that parents and carers will join us for the picnic, and that some of you will even participate in the parents’ race.

Early Years and KS1 parents are most welcome to take their children home after their races, or picnic lunch, however before you leave you must sign your child out with your child’s class teacher.
