Thank you for your patience this week, as there has been lots happening in school. With an art exhibition, communions, end of term production, environment project, a visit to high school AND a football tournament to prepare for, the children have been extremely tolerant and have behaved superbly!
This week remains as busy as ever, but we are sure that we can rely on the children's mature behaviour and attitude, to help us all get through a successful week.
Art Exhibition
On Wednesday, you are invited to view some of art work which the children have produced over the last couple of weeks. I am sure you will agree, that we have some budding artists in our midst! You will be able to view your child's artwork in the school hall between 3 - 4pm in the school hall on Wednesday and also between 7 - 8 pm. If you would like to purchase your child's framed artwork, at a cost of £5.00, then you may order them between these times, for collection later in the week.
Joseph Production
Preparations are now well underway for our end of term production and the children and staff are amazed at how much extra time some of our cast members are putting in to rehearsals! Children now have had all parts and costumes allocated. Should you require additional guidance as to what is required, please speak to any member of the 5/6 team as soon as possible.
PE Kits
A request from all staff!! This week, all the children will be practising for sports day. We would ask that ALL children have appropriate kit in school, including footwear (pumps or trainers) which fits. PE kit, as in the school uniform policy, should be a plain white t-shirt (or one with the school logo) and royal blue shorts. Many thanks for your co-operation with this.
Weblinks - Numeracy
This week, we will be assessing all the year 5 children on their end of year objectives. If you would like to reinforce some of the activities at home, here are some online activities to support our work on ordering decimals and area and perimeter.

Online activity which demonstrates how to calculate the missing decimal. The children will be using this in class, so they should be familiar with the format.
Congratulations to everyone who took part with the football tournament on Friday. You were fantastic ambassadors for St. Vincent's. Let's hope England play as well later this afternoon!!
