What a wonderful end to the week with International Day. All the children seem to have enjoyed a focus on a different country and expanded their knowledge of food, places of interest, art forms and music.
Our after school clubs have now started. Year 6 children are progressing well with their cycling awareness course. Year 5 commenced their swimming tuition this week and all tried hard to improve their swimming. Year 5 have also worked with Matt Bramhall on a project called ‘Cov Kool Kids’. The project focuses on ‘Peace and Reconciliation’ and will finish with a musical performance in December 2009. Year 6 also started to learn to play African drums this week.
We had a fire drill this week. All the children and staff left the building in an orderly way. Congratulations to our Foundation Stage for being so sensible and leaving the building so well.
We have new staff to welcome to Leigh School. Mrs J Knott has joined us to work with Years 1 and 2 on a special project called Reading Recovery and will also be working with all other classes while based in our Library. Miss S Rehman has also joined us as a teaching assistant in Year 3. Our new cleaner is Mrs Walker. We warmly welcome them all to our school and hope they have a rewarding time working at our school.
Next week Year 6 parents are invited to a pre-SATs meeting on Monday 28th September between 6pm-7pm. This is an important meeting and we would appreciate it if at least one parent for each Year 6 child can attend.
On Tuesday 29th September we will be saying farewell to Father Brian from St. Oswald’s Church who will be retiring on the same day. All parents are welcome to come to our assembly at 8:55am to say goodbye.
On Friday our class assemblies start. Year 1 will be leading assembly on 2nd October. Please come along and support the children if you can. I hope the weather stays fine for this weekend.
