ECAS

Please make sure that your child knows which ECAs they are doing and who is collecting them afterwards.

Musician of the Month

Every month Primary Music features a Musician of the Month during lessons. We include a diverse range of performers, arrangers and composers.

This month we are celebrating the music of Celia Cruz.

Celia was born in Cuba in 1925 and moved to the US during the Cuban revolution. She became associated with ‘Salsa’ a Cuban dance music that became popular in the 1960s with her rhythmic singing and rich voice.

This week we are featuring Guantanamero - perhaps Cuba’s most famous song: https://youtu.be/W777MIR8-ko

Getting involved in a sport

Connecting with other students and being part of a team is so important for our well-being. You may never have considered Netball as a sport, but it fast and fun. Check out the poster below for more information.

Happy Birthday to the following students:

Sanaa(6C); Jade (6D); Lyra(6E); Ella (6P); Otys (6S)

Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we are asking students NOT to bring in any cakes or treats from home to share with members of the class. We will however sing Happy Birthday at some point throughout the day. 

Learning

Design a Residential Hat Competition

A reminder to our Year 6 students that they are encouraged to enter a design for a residential hat. The winning design will be worn by all Year 6 students during our residential to Chanthaburi.

• The entry deadline is Tuesday 15^th September.
• Students should hand their designs directly to Mrs Dunford
• Entries should be a circular design, and they should have ‘resi’ and ‘Chanthaburi’ spelled correctly.

Connected Learning

Soon, the students will be creating a self-portrait using mixed media. We need to collect some materials to enable the children to do this. If you have any spare/leftover wrapping paper, wallpaper or any patterned/textured paper, please could you send it in with your child.
