Farewell to our year 6 children

It is time to say goodbye to our fabulous year 6 children. They have had a brilliant year and worked incredibly hard to make excellent progress in their learning. It has been a pleasure getting to know you all and we wish you the very best in the future. Shine like stars.

This week, they wowed us with their acting and singing abilities in their performance of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. They all remembered their lines, spoke and sang beautifully. We were all really proud of their performance.

Year 6 should be proud of the terrific year they have had.

After School Clubs

Last week, a letter was sent home about after school clubs with a link to complete a google form indicating which club/s you would like your child to attend during the Autumn Term. We will not be accepting any telephone and email requests. Responses will close on today.

Completing the form does NOT guarantee a place at a club. You will be emailed with confirmation, once your clubs are approved.

All clubs must be paid in full by Monday 2nd September or your child will not be able to attend. 

Breakfast club and Play Centre

A link has been sent out this week to sign up to both the breakfast club and play centre. Completing the form does NOT guarantee a place at a club. You will be emailed with confirmation, once your clubs are approved.

All outstanding debts from this academic year must be paid before your child can attend breakfast club or play centre in the autumn term.

Adventure Play

 MOST adventure playgrounds will be running Mondays to Fridays during the summer holidays, offering free opportunities to play, climb, run, jump and swing.

Free swimming lessons for Year 5 and Year 6 children

Hackney Council are offering intensive swimming lessons this summer for Year 5 and Year 6 students who have not yet learned to swim confidently. This initiative is generously funded by Sport England.

The program includes two weeks of intensive swimming lessons at Better Leisure Centres in Hackney pools. To ensure every child has the necessary equipment, the 10×10 funding provides swimming costumes, goggles, and swimming hats, including soul caps for braided hair. Additionally, each participating child will receive a year’s membership to their local pool and free swims for their parents or carers, aiming to foster ongoing swimming confidence.

Attendance 

Good school attendance is one of the main factors in determining your child’s future opportunities in life. Children who are absent from school regularly do less well in achieving their academic potential and have fewer career choices. Hackney education authority aims for all pupils to attend at least 95% of the school year. An attendance rate of 95% is generally considered good; this allows for children to miss 9.5 days across the school year. If your child’s attendance falls below 95% due to sickness, no further absences will be authorised, unless you provide medical documentation.

Classes of The Week: 6M 98%

The winning class is rewarded with a delicious fruit platter. Help your child’s class win by making sure your child is at school everyday next week.
