Year 1 and 2 Tests, Assessments and Screening Please make sure Year 2 children are at school during May as they will be busy completing their statutory assessments and tests. This is nothing to panic about they generally enjoy completing this work and have lots of fun too. Year 1 will be completing their Statutory Phonic Screening during the week beginning 15th June so please make sure your child is at school that week. Founders Day - Bun Day Celebrations – Friday 22nd May You are most welcome to come with us and remember Nicholas Chamberlaine on Founders Day, at the Almshouses. You can either meet us there or walk with us from school at about 9.50 a.m. The children in Year 1 and 2 will be learning about the generosity of the Rev Nicholas Chamberlaine who died 300 years ago and is Bedworth’s greatest benefactor. Over the years we have been very fortunate to benefit from the Trust fund he set up, and we are proud to be part of Bedworth’s history. To help the children really celebrate this day the Governors of the Nicholas Chamberlaine Trust will grant the children a half-day holiday. School will close at 1.05 p.m. Skamps Club will be open in the afternoon if enough parents request it. Please see Skamps staff if you need a place. Summer Uniform Now the summer term is here the summer uniform is as follows. For girls a pale blue checked dress any style or smart grey or navy blue shorts, pinafore dress or skirt with a navy blue cardigan or sweat shirt. For boys grey or navy shorts and a pale blue or white polo shirt with a navy blue sweat shirt. We prefer girls and boys not to wear open toed sandals to school because we have patched up many poorly toes over the years - closed sandals are much better. Socks should be worn every day as they are part of the summer uniform. P.E. Kit This term the children will be having P.E. lessons outside on the playground. For this time they will need to have their usual P.E. kit and also either trainers (they don’t need to be new) or pumps (they do need to fit properly) as the weather is unpredictable it will be best if they have their kit in school everyday. Sunshine Please remember that your child needs a full bottle of fresh water in school every day. Please don’t send squash as it rots children’s teeth, can leave a sticky mess and attracts wasps. During the sunny days we encourage the children to wear a hat that covers their head and protects their eyes. We prefer children not to wear sunglasses unless they have a medical reason from the doctor. Many sun protection creams now last all day but should you wish your child to apply sun protection cream at dinner time then they will be supervised doing this but Child Protection issues mean that staff cannot help. Please make sure their bottle is named and easy to use.
