Welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a great Easter break and are looking forward to the summer term. I always enjoy the summer term as there are so many activities that take place and as this is going to be my last term as head this one is going to be even more special. I just hope that the weather becomes more settled and the rain finally disappears.

The children all looked extra smart this morning in preparation for their class photographs. I know the children always enjoy having these photographs taken - let us hope that you feel all your preparations in getting the children ready have been worthwhile when you see the results in a couple of weeks.

Next week in school is going to be really busy. Year 5 will be taking their cycling proficiency test so you will notice a lot of extra bikes on Monday morning. This should be the only day that this should happen because the majority of the children keep their bikes in school for the rest of the week whilst they practise and complete their test. On Thursday and Friday Years 3 and 4 will be going on their annual PGL trip to Caythorpe and we have football matches at the school on both of these nights. Some children from KS1 are also taking part in a sports festival at Oakmere on Tuesday so it is certainly going to be an action packed week in school.

I am going to be going on the PGL trip next week so I will not be in school on Thursday or Friday but if you do have any issues Mr Gradwell will be in school on both of these days so you will be able to contact him if necessary – it will give him some practice for when he officially takes over in September.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I look forward to seeing you all again on Monday morning.
