Monday 17th July (for parents, carers and other family members) You were sent a letter about this on Studybugs early in the week. Please do come along between 6:00pm and 7:00pm to look at your child’s work and see their new classroom (if they are currently in Years 3 to 5). There is an earlier concert for children learning instruments and our Pop Choir between 5:00pm and 6:00pm. All parents and carers are welcome to this too. Between 4:00pm and 5:00pm, you may visit your child’s class if you need to discuss their report with class teachers. FoY will kindly be providing refreshments from 6:00pm to 7:00pm

Yesterday 4M visited Brooklands school in Reigate, a specialist provision, as part of a month of celebrating diversity. During the visit children from 4M worked in groups with the children from Brooklands. They planted seeds, designed t-shirts with paint, visited the soft play area and the school's amazing new outdoor trim trial. They are all still buzzing with excitement from the experience. Here are some of the comments made by the children:

" I had a great time at Brooklands school, the school staff and children were soooooooo nice and kind. I really enjoyed the visit and all of the activities!"

" We visited Brooklands school, which is a special school and different to ours. The children there had different needs and disabilities. By the end of our visit I did not feel like we were so different."

" I loved this school as there was so much creativity. My favourite one was painting and designing our own t-shirt. It was good to make new friends and play with them."

" I had such an amazing time and I learned that the children at Brooklands school, their brains work a little differently to mine."

"The school was so colourful and it was so much fun meeting the children that go there. I learned a lot about diversity and how we are all different not just children at special schools."
