SATs
We want to congratulate Year 6 on a very successful SATs week. The children faced all challenges with determination and resilience and we've have been blown away by their incredible efforts. Each of them has taken it in their stride and are a credit to themselves. To celebrate, Year 6 had a fun afternoon making cupcakes alongside some time outside playing games.

There are lots of opportunities to contribute to the fun day of stalls and activities on Saturday 20th May. FOMPS would love to hear from parents/caregivers new to the school. Just two hours of your time would be an invaluable contribution to the day.

Summer Picnic - Bunting
At the summer picnic we will be celebrating outdoor play and we would love it if the children could help us to decorate the field by contributing a flag to our bunting.
We would love to see their designs which represent what they love about being outdoors and playing.
Download the template below (It fits on to A4 Paper) or ask for a copy from the school office.
You can use any scrap material you have around- an old t-shirt or pillow case- cut out the flag shape.
Designs can then be drawn or painted direct onto the bunting flag.
Completed flags to be returned to school office by 5 June so we can begin sewing them all together!
We look forward to seeing all their amazing designs
