Welcome and Goodbye to Staff At the end of the year we are very sad to say our Sherborne Primary family goodbyes to Mrs Adams (Teaching Assistant) who has been with us for 22 years. Also we are wishing Miss Douch (Teaching Assistant / SCAPA) every success in her move to Scotland. We warmly welcome Miss Hawkins to our teaching staff in September and know she is really looking forward to teaching at our school. SCAPA – Breakfast Club and After-school Club – Please contact the School Office in school hours on 01935 812619 and/or SCAPA out of school hours on tel: 01935 810001 to enquire about bookings. Opening times are 8:00am until 8:55am and 3:30pm until 6:00pm during term time. Booking for term time have become very popular to ensure a place please book on-line in advance. Spring Bank Holiday SCAPA – programme will be on our website very shortly. Years 5 & 6 Summer Production Miss Durrant and her team welcome all parents / carers and families to our Summer Production of ‘Peter Pan (by J.M.Barrie)’. I know this will include amazing singing and acting plus show casing the talents of our oldest children. The children will be performing as follows: Dress Rehearsal - (School Children only) - Monday 9th July (during the school day) Afternoon Performance - Wednesday 11th July - 2pm - School Hall Evening Performances - Tuesday 10th & Thursday 12th July - 5:30pm - School Hall More information regarding the FREE tickets will be available nearer the time. Can I thank everyone for all your kind encouragement for your children, costumes, learning lines and attending the performances! Can I also thank Miss Durrant and her amazing team of adults for all their hard work and dedication in producing this brilliant play!
Online Payments and Bookings To support everyone with saving time we would strongly recommend utilising our School Money online payment system to pay for things like SCAPA and school trips etc. This will again save queuing at our busy office hatch. Please click on our web-site for the link and more information. This will be found under Parents – School Money https://www.schoolmoney.co.uk End of Year School Reports The end of year school reports will be sent to all of our parent / carers by pupil post on Friday 20th July. Unless there is a formal court order in place only one copy will be sent to families to share as appropriate.However, the school will do its utmost to support difficult family situations and will make a photocopy after the reports have been sent. If you do wish for this to happen, please contact your class teacher. Within the school report will be attendance information, statutory assessments (Yr 2 / Yr 6 & Yr 1 Phonic Checks), targets for the following year and efforts / attainment grades for your child. Activities Week - Monday 16th - Friday 20th July 2018 The school has organised a very exciting ‘Activities Week’ linked to sport and exercise to encourage our children to get up and get active. This will include ALL of our KS2 children going sailing and a range of external visitors coming into school to show our children a range of other sporting activities. Thank you to Miss Layton for kindly co-ordinating these exciting events!

EYFS & KS1 / KS2 Sports Days Wednesday 20th June - EYFS & KS1 Sports Day - 9:15am - 11:30am Thursday 21st June - KS2 Sports Day - 1:30pm - 3:30pm (wet weather dates TBC) Our Reception / KS1 children (classes - Grasshoppers, Ladybirds, Oak, Ash & Elm) earn stickers for themselves, whilst KS2 children (classes - Hawks, Owls, Eagles, Jaguars, Tigers & Leopards) earn points for their teams (red, yellow, blue & purple). At KS2 there is a guiding principle that races are ‘seeded’ i.e. the fastest in each team and so on. This gives everyone a chance to win a race and all children take part. All children are required to bring in their normal PE kit and also need a coloured T-shirt for whichever team they belong to. Please could you kindly provide appropriate sun protection (sun hat and sunscreen) and a named water bottle for your child (no glass bottles please). Parents / carers, grandparents and other family members are welcome and encouraged to attend and watch. Please could you bring your own seating. If the weather is poor a text message will be sent on the day (or as soon as possible). PTA Summer Fayre (Friday 6th July - 3:30pm onwards) PLUS - NEW KS1 Playtrail! Our Sponsored Bounce, once again was a huge success and great fun for all! It was also well supported by our kind parents / PTA (please see photos below) The PTA have also been working on creating another amazing Summer Fayre which will include the usual array of stalls, events, refreshments etc. This will also include a prize packed draw and a great family fun event on Friday 6th July at 3:30pm. We will actively be looking for helpers for this event. Thank you for your kind support. (Please contact our office if you can help and we will pass your details to the PTA). All of their hard work (and your very kind donations and support) have led to the forthcoming installation of a new KS1 Playtrail which will be placed in the back KS1 playground (this was after many parents / carers suggested this addition to our facilities last year). A HUGE thanks to Jo Kemp / Caroline Humphreys and their team for co-ordinating our PTA so well! End of Year Events for our Year 6 Pupils & Leavers Service - Tuesday 24th July - 11am As always we try and make the end of summer term special for our Year 6 pupils. We have also included the bi-annual ‘Dragon’s Apprentice’ which is similar to ‘Dragon’s Den’ and tests our Yr 5 & 6 pupil’s business sense, design and mathematical skills (this will be held within the Summer Fayre). We have another new event, a special ADDITIONAL ‘Leavers Service’ held within Sherborne Abbey alongside our SAST (Sherborne Area Schools’ Trust) group of schools (see below for further details). We also know the children will enjoy their residential visit to Brenscombe! Finally we have (now traditional) Sherborne Primary School end of year Leavers Service on the last day of the summer term (Tuesday 24th July at 11am) this is then followed by our Year 6 ‘Family Picnic’ within our grounds at lunchtime. Year 6 children are welcome to leave after this picnic (with an appropriate adult) alongside their families (sibling children).
