Welcome back Owl Class

Hello there Owls!

We hope that you have all had a great holiday and can’t wait to see you in school tomorrow.  We are all ready for you so here are a couple of reminders:

*Owl Class’ school day starts at 8.30am.  You need to line up on the lines that run outside the hall and we will take your temperature before letting you onto the school playground to sanitise your hands and line up on the 2m distanced spots on the playground.  From there, we will go into the cloakroom where you will hang up any bags/coats (we will give you new peg numbers as you arrive) and then go into the classroom.

*The classroom is set up in rows all facing the whiteboard.  There is a name label in your place to tell you where to sit.

*Only bring to school: a water bottle, a coat and your packed lunch if you are having one.  You will not need a pencil case as we have sets of stationary and whiteboards in your trays ready for you.  We will sort out reading books tomorrow too.

*You need to wear your school uniform everyday apart from on a Monday and a Friday when you will need to come to school wearing your proper school PE kit.  PE lessons will start next week.

*Our school day finishes at 2.45pm unless you are booked into after school club.

We will put a separate post up here to show you our topics for the term plus information about PE and homework.

If you have any questions that we haven’t covered here, please contact the school via email at the admin address.

Get a great night’s sleep and I will see you all tomorrow.

Mrs Hollis

 

 

A message for our Year 5’s

Hi Year 5’s – we wanted to say a huge well done to all of you for everything that you have achieved this year.  You have all been utterly amazing and we are so, so proud of you all.  We are missing you all dreadfully but are looking forward to a time when we can be back together in September.  We know you will be awesome Year 6’s and will continue to make us proud.  Have a fantastic break and we will see you soon

Congratulations Year 6 – class of 2020!

Well Year 6, you knew we would have to have the last word today!  What an amazing group you are; we were proud of you before but now you have made us prouder still.  We loved seeing you and hearing your fantastic speeches; you did us, your families and yourselves proud.

We also wanted to share and celebrate our award winners too.  You are all winners in our eyes and anyone of you could have had our awards but to those that did receive an award, congratulations.

*Thank you and well done to our Librarians:  Noah, Emma, Grace, Elsa, Dan, Maurice, Lily F and Lily S.  You have kept our Library buzzing with fun for our Key Stage 1 children; they will really miss your sessions.

*Well done to our recorder players: Elsa, Lily S, Laila, Dom and Mya.  It has been a pleasure to hear you play during worship.

*Congratulations to our art award winners Lily and Jack.  You have such creative talents and it has been a pleasure to share these gifts with you.  We hope you continue to develop these talents as you move onto secondary school.

*Congratulations to our PE/sportsperson of the year, Rory.  You are not only an able sportsperson but you are also a fantastic team player and supporter of your team mates.  You have made Miss Whit and all of your teachers so proud over the years.  Thank you for being such a fantastic ambassador for sport.

*Congratulations to our footballers of the year, Sam and Elizabeth.  Miss Whit has been thrilled with the way that you both perform on and off the pitch as players and supporters of each other.  You are both such brilliant ambassadors for sport in our school.

*Congratulations to Grace for winning the ‘Mick Berry Voice of the child’ award.  Here is one of the many reasons why you won it.  “Grace always has excellent ideas and organisational skills.  She took on the responsibility of writing minutes for our meetings and ensured that everyone knew what they had to do.”  Well done Grace; we have always been able to rely on you thinking of others and know that this will always be a strength of yours.

*Congratulations to Chloe for winning the ‘Toni Inman ward for perseverance and determination’.  Here is one of the reasons why: “Chloe approaches all aspects of her learning with a smile and doesn’t give up.”  Well done Chloe; it has been a pleasure to watch you flourish throughout your time in school.  No doubt, you will continue to blossom at The Corbet.

*Congratulations to our joint winners of the ‘John Roe maths award’, Dan and David.  Here is why: “Daniel totally transformed his attitude to maths adopting a ‘have-a-go’ approach and then conquered challenges like the times tables grid.” And, David, “From the moment he joined our school, he has worked so hard to achieve every goal, working particularly hard out of school.”  Well done to both of you for working so hard and demonstrating such positive attitudes.

*Congratulations to Lily S for winning our ‘Andrew Radford Music’ award.  You are such a gifted musician across so many instruments Lily!  What a pleasure it has been to share this talent with you throughout your time at school.

*Congratulations to Henry for winning our ‘Overall Achievement’ award.  Here are a few of the many reasons why, “Henry is always up for a challenge and gives every task his all.”  And, “Henry always strives to share his enthusiasm throughout the school and all aspects of his learning.”  A well deserved award Henry; you have made us so proud in so many ways from your lunchtime maths club to team trees!  Keep it up; we know you will.

*Congratulations to Lily S for her ‘School Ambassador’ award.  Here are just a few of the reasons, “She is kind, considerate and always working hard in and out of the classroom,” and “Lily is well mannered and looks after the younger pupils well.”  Well done Lily; it is so lovely to see you recognised for your consistent positive attitude and your thoughtfulness of others.  We know you will continue this as you move onto secondary school.

So to all of you, it is time to say goodbye but we hope not forever.  We love to hear how you are getting on and remain immensely proud of you.  Remember, you will always be a part of St John the Baptist School class of 2020.

And to all the parents, carers and family members, thank you for all of your support throughout your child’s time with us.
