Welcome to our Sports Evening
Welcome to our sports day 2010
You may recall the changes we made to the sports day format last year which proved very successful. As the changes were in line with government initiatives, as well as our own beliefs, we have decided to follow the same format this year, incorporating a more competitive edge into sporting activities, whilst retaining a team spirit. We will also be incorporating a number of athletics skills that the children learn about in their P.E. lessons
Below is a brief outline of how the event will run:
All the children have been organised into 7 teams with each team having representatives in from each class
The team were asked to work together to pick two people from each class to represent the team in each event. All children had to take part in a minimum of 4 events.
There are 4 track and 4 field events. In each event there will be two rounds for each class. Children will compete against other children from their class on behalf of their team. Points will be scored for 1st -3rd places although all children will get one point for their team for taking part in each event. (Class 1 won’t be taking part in the shot or javelin events)
The bell will ring at the end of each round and a new field / track event will be set up. At any one time there will only be 7 runners and 1 child doing a ‘field’ activity. Scores will be updated at the end of every round if we can!
We hope to include relay races, an under 5s race and a parent egg and spoon race at the end – so start warming up!
We have put chairs out for parents in what we thought was the best place.
Unfortunately we haven’t been able to solve the fact that the children need to be slightly away from the events so that we can get them in the right place at the right time. This means that we need you to cheer and support the children as much as you can when they are taking part.
Drinks and a barbeque are available and the school council will be selling ice creams for 50p later on in the evening. I do hope you are able to support us and that you enjoy the event.

Sex Education
22 June 2010
Dear Parents
As part of the curriculum we will be teaching sex education later in this term to all pupils in years 5 and 6. We will be using a resource produced by Channel 4 entitled ‘living and growing.’ There are three main units to this programme and the DVD is available for you to view at home prior to the lessons commencing should you wish to know exactly what is being taught.
All parents have the right to withdraw their pupils from these sessions should they wish to. Any parents wishing to do so should inform the school in writing.
During lessons pupils are told to keep all discussions to within the lesson or to discuss it with parents at home should they wish to. The children will be informed that during the lessons we will endeavour to answer most of their questions, however there may be some questions that we feel are more sensitive and the child will be asked to take that to their parents.
The DVD is available from the office; we ask that you return it the next day so that anyone who wishes to see it is able to do so.
The first session on sex education will be delivered to Years 5 and 6 by the School Nurse on Thursday this week between 2pm – 3pm.
The school nurse will be available to all parents at school from 3pm onwards on Thursday afternoon 24th June to discuss any issues with her. An appointment is not necessary as this will be run as a ‘drop in session’.
Many thanks.
