Reception Children visited Bristol Zoo on Monday and had an enjoyable day.   It was particularly pleasing to hear that our pupils were complimented on their behaviour by members of the public.

 

Year Six  pupils will begin a cycle safety course next tem as part of our programme of teaching children about road safety.   This course is free to children as we are using grant money to provide this experience for pupils.

 

Sex and Relationship Education:   Each summer term we run a short programme of sex education for pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6.   We always hold a preliminary meeting for parents so that you can find out what we cover in each year group.   There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.   This year the meeting has been scheduled for after school on Wednesday 6th June.   The meeting will take place in Year 4’s classroom.

 

Swiss Students:   Three Students from a teacher training college in Switzerland will be joining us for the last week of June and first week of July.   We still need host families.   We would like to place students individually to give them the experience of speaking English.   There is a payment of £150.00 to help cover costs involved.   If you can help please let the office know.

 

Mid Somerset Music Spectacular:  On Thursday 21st June Years 3, 4, and 5 are performing in the Mid Somerset Music Spectacular at Strode Theatre in Street. The concert is in the evening; tickets go on sale on Monday 4th June and can be reserved by calling Strode Theatre booking office.   This is a popular event and tickets usually sell out quickly, more details about rehearsals etc. to follow.

 

Term Five ends today.   School resumes for Term Six on Monday 4th June.   I hope you have a good week.
