Dear Parents and Carers,
What a brilliant week we've had at Sheet Primary! The energy around school has been absolutely wonderful, and I wanted to share some of the highlights with you.
This week, our pupils have been diving into Science Week with real enthusiasm. The children were split into their 'gem' teams and worked through four different science activities – and honestly, the excitement was brilliant to see. From designing and making aeroplanes to measuring themselves to answer scientific questions, every pupil was engaged and having fun while learning. That's exactly what we want science to be about – hands-on, enjoyable, and sparking curiosity. It's these kinds of experiences that help our pupils develop a real love of learning and discovery.
At assembly today, the winners of Henry Adams competition were:
KS1 Freddie, Lower KS2 Flora, Upper KS2 Lucy-Rose
Well done to everyone who entered.
We've also had some lovely moments celebrating our mothers this week. The infant children enjoyed wonderful Mother's Day lunches here at school on Thursday and Friday, and it was really special to see so many of our families join us. These occasions are important – they give us a chance to celebrate the people who matter most to our pupils and create memories together.
Looking ahead to next week, there's plenty happening. Our Year 5s are gearing up for the Petersfield Music Festival, which is always a highlight in our calendar. They'll be attending a rehearsal during the school day, followed by two evening performances on Monday and Wednesday. It's a fantastic opportunity for our young musicians to showcase their talents and experience performing in a larger setting. If your child is involved, I hope you'll be able to join us for one of the evening performances.
We've also got Easter craft making coming up on Friday with Mrs Deuble, which the children always love. It's a great way to get creative and get into the spirit of the season.
We have our Easter Raffle again this year, all proceeds go towards playtime toys etc. - see our poster attached for more details, tickets available from the school office.
On a practical note, we plan to have some paving laid outside the new outdoor classroom and from the bottom of the steps to the field. If anyone has recommendations for a builder or contractor we could approach, we'd be very grateful to hear from you.
Thank you for your continued support of everything we do here at Sheet Primary. It's a real privilege to lead such an engaged and enthusiastic school community.
Make sure your mum's are spoilt on Sunday!
Julie Robinson
