Tulip, Blossom & Sunflower Blog - Thursday 16th July 2026

 Happy Friday Thursday, everybody! It seems incredible that we are already at the end of the year - it has flown by! We have all absolutely loved working with all your children this year and it has been a joy to watch them grow and become more confident in their learning as the year has progressed. We are all sure that they will continue to be just as fabulous as they move on to being Year 4's and 5's!

We would also like to give a massive thank you and good luck to Mrs Witherall, Mrs Devlin and Mrs O'Connor who are leaving us. They have all been amazing members of our staff team here at Down Hall and will be greatly missed. Good luck out there!

Don't forget that we are celebrating the end of the term with a picnic on the field with parents and carers tomorrow. Much like the Sports Day arrangements, parents can collect their children from classes at 12:00pm to take them on to the field. At 1:00pm, the children will line up to return to class to collect their things and then will go home straight away. If there are any changes to who is picking up your child, please Dojo your class teacher.

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER HOLIDAY!!!

We will be available on ClassDojo up until lunchtime on Friday 17th July and then again from Tuesday 1st September.

Remember: children return to school on Wednesday 2nd September.

All that remains is to say a personal thank you and goodbye. I wrote my first blog back in March 2020 telling people what to do if the school were to close due to Covid. Fast forward some 200-odd blogs and here we are. Thank you for all the kind words and support - I wish you all an amazing summer and all the best for the future!

Much love

Mr Jude
