After our long weekend last week I feel like it is just two minutes since I wrote my last blog. It has been a very pleasant week in school despite the changeable weather which unfortunately meant that the ‘Le Gros Netball’ tournament had to be cancelled. The new date for the tournament is next Wednesday and if you would like to go and watch the girls compete it is being held at Mount Grace at the end of the school day.

We had another meeting for the Summer Fayre this week and plans are well in place to make it a great event. What will be needed to make it a success though is support from everyone in the Little Heath community. A letter will soon be coming out to explain what you can do to contribute. Remember that although the day is held to help raise money for the school it is also a big community event in the school calendar and we need as many people as possible to help add to the ambiance. The fayre is being held on July 4th and it has an American theme.

We held our second literacy even this week for the Foundation stage and Year 2. Although those who attended found it very useful and enjoyable there was a disappointing turn out again. As I mentioned last week parents cannot complain that they do not get enough guidance with how to support their children with their learning if they do not attend events put on for this specific purpose.

This week I was informed that some parking attendants did come down School Road at home time and issued parking tickets to those they considered had parked inappropriately. To those who received them they cannot say that they had not been warned. I would also thank people for respecting our cones and not parking near the school. We are not restricting parking to be officious but to make the area a safer place for our children to walk to and from school.

Next week will be quite a quiet week in school because it is the SATs test week. I know our Year 6 children have all been working hard and I am sure they will do themselves justice.  I hope all Year 6 parents make sure they have a relaxing weekend because they will need all their energy for next week.  I will see you all again on Monday.
