 Happy Friday, everybody! 

Well, Summer has certainly arrived and yet again it has been a very hot week. We are very proud of how hard the children have applied themselves this week despite the heat! Well done everybody! Remember, whilst the temperature is well above 20°C, ties can be removed as and when needed. Also, remember to bring sunhats and water bottles and the children can bring some sun cream in to apply themselves before play time and lunch time.

SPORTS DAY

On Friday 7th July we will be holding our Sports Day. Please see the letter on the website explaining the structure of the day.

• Children come to school on Friday in their PE kit but we would like your child to wear a colour t-shirt that matches their team colour: Brooklyn - Blue; Deepdene - Green; Hambro - Yellow; Teignmouth - Red.

• Parents can join their child for a picnic lunch which will be 12:00-1:15pm. Please ensure that you complete the Google Form on the Sports Day letter so we know what your child is doing at lunch time on this day - you can use the link below. Please collect your child from their classroom at 12:00pm as you would usually at the end of the day. The children will be collected from the field by their teacher at 1:15pm.

• Please note that the above timings are approximate but we will try to stick as close as possible to them.

PSHE - CHANGING ME

This half term in Personal, Social and Health Education we are learning about how to cope with change. This includes learning about change in ourselves as we grow from a baby to how we are now. It also includes a lessons in which we will be noting the differences between male and female bodies, using the correct terminology. These lessons will very much lay the foundations for future Relationships and Sex Education, which is now a statutory requirement to be taught in schools. We see this as a crucial part of Safeguarding our children and keeping them safe.
