Newsletter 13.6.25

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

It has been a busy week in school, with our Y1 children completing their phonics screening, where children have to read real and alien words, they did a great job.  Y4 children completed statutory times tables checks, so a thumbs up to them for working hard to learn their tables - all by the grand old age of 9 too! 

 

FOMBA Fest - Tomorrow 12pm - 5pm

Final reminder (as if you need it!) that our summer fair is tomorrow and everyone is welcome. Please bear in mind there will be some weather-related adjustments which will be shared via the FOMBA Facebook page in the morning. Please keep your eye on it for updates.

 

If you were an engineer, what would you do?

Our entrants in Y2 and Y5 impressed the engineer judges with their inventions and ideas  in this cross-country competition. All children passed with some gaining distinctions or even being shortlisted for a winning prize. In an ever developing technological landscape, it's good to know our future is in safe hands.

 

Swimming Gala

You will have seen the team on the socials who competed in the annual Helen Smart Swimming gala in Wigan. Well done to Matilda and Finn for getting into the finals,  with Matilda getting a silver medal in the process!

 

Dyslexia Link

I am sharing a link to Edge Hill's planned dyslexia awareness courses for anyone interested. It is broadly aimed at educators, but is information and support for all, initiated following Jamie Oliver's campaign to raise awareness and better understanding/support for those who may require it.
