Hello, Sheet Primary School community!
There's been so much going on, I hardly know where to start. But let's dive in, shall we?
First off, I want to give a big shout-out to Papaya for their brilliant presentation on smart phone use for young children. It was eye-opening stuff! If you missed it, don't worry - you can catch up by visiting their website at www.papayaparents.com/solutions. While you're at it, why not sign up for our school's parent pact? It's a great initiative, and you can find it at parentpact.smartphonefreechildhood.co.uk. Trust me, it's worth a look!
Our Year 6 pupils have been flexing their mental muscles this week. Eight of our Kestrels headed off to Churchers College for a fun quiz afternoon. Now, we might not have taken home the trophy, but our children had an absolute blast pitting their wits against others. It's not always about winning, is it? The experience and the fun are what really count.
Speaking of competitions, our Year 5/6 football team braved the rain for a tournament at Bohunt School on Tuesday. They faced off against five other teams, showing real grit and determination. A special mention goes out to Carter for some truly spectacular saves - well done!
Now, onto one of my favourite events of the year - our grandparents' lunches! It's been an absolute joy to see our infant pupils sharing a meal with their grandparents right here in school. The sense of community spirit was palpable, and it's no wonder this event is always such a hit. It's moments like these that really make our school special.
Our Herons class ventured out to Butser Farm today. I can't wait to hear all about their adventures - watch this space for more details next week!
Not to be outdone, Kestrels class took a trip to the church as part of their RE learning. It's always great to see our pupils engaging with the local community and broadening their understanding of different faiths.
Thank you to those who have changed your dropping off and parking habits, don't forget our poster competition is live, entries to school by 11th October - win ice-cream and get your posters put up outside the school!
Next week is our first parents evening of the year: please book via scholar pack Wednesday and Thursday, if children need to come, I am happy to entertain for your appointment time. Please note this is only a 10 minute appointment, if there is anything else you would like to talk about we have an open door policy and our teachers are happy to listen if you have any concerns that were not attended to at your appointment.
Phew! As I said, it's been a busy old week. But that's just how we like it here at Sheet Primary - full of learning, adventure, and community spirit. Until next time, keep being amazing!
Enjoy the weekend!
