Dear Families,
It seems that the closer we get to the end of term, the busier it becomes. What a week it has been!
Firstly, a huge well done to the Year 6 children and teaching team for their SATs. Results were released on Tuesday this week - please see below. You clearly also enjoyed your well-deserved residential earlier in the week, despite the rain - see pictures below. Thank you to Ms Orla, Ms Lauren, Ms Donna and Coach Leo for all giving up your time to accompany the children.
On Tuesday this week, the top floor hall was a wonderful celebration of our Reception and Nursery children who all walked the catwalk, sang to their families and were all absolutely amazing. Thank you to the EYFS team for every step of development you've helped the children along with this year.
Then it was time for Year 4, an epic show telling the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's epic journey to Antarctica. Shackleton's is an extraordinarily inspiring story; Year 4, your ability to work together to put on such a fabulous show was also an inspiration. Well done and thank you to those involved.
Almost finally, what an event the Masked Teacher was last night! Most importantly, it was a great opportunity for a fundraiser for our much anticipated Sensory Room, but what a great evening. Our green space was buzzing: thank you so much to everyone who helped it happen; thank you to all the performers; and thank you for all the families who joined in the fun. Fabulous!
And finally, of course, good luck to both England and Spain for Sunday's Euro 2024 final!

End of year reports - your child should have come home with their end of year school report today. If you need to discuss your report with your child's teacher, on Tuesday we are open for drop-ins to see class teachers between 3:30pm and 6pm.
Sports Day - next Wednesday is our annual Sports Day. Your child should have come home with a letter explaining what colour t-shirt they need. Please ensure you read the letter and send them into school wearing their assigned colour as part of their PE kit. This will ensure all team numbers are balanced. They will also need to bring in a packed lunch. Children will be able to be collected from the field after the afternoon register at 1pm.
Library update - The JKPS library is looking quite smart these days, and the children are borrowing and returning loads of great new books from the FoJKPS. If you would like to make a donation to the library, the current need is for early readers, and they have expressed an interest in series such as Dragon, Shifty McGinty, Claude, Narwhal & Jelly, Dogman, and Captain Underpants.
