Dear parents and carers.
This week has flown by, and we cannot believe we are heading into the last week of the year. Thank you for the lovely conversations I have had with some of you this week, as I head towards my last day. This very special community has been a huge part of my life for a long time, so next week will be emotional!
The highlight of our week has been the fantastic year 5/6 production, 'Porridge'. The whole school thoroughly enjoyed the dress rehearsal on Monday, and this was followed by two performances to friends and family. We were immensely proud of the children for working so hard on the show. It is always a delight to see children who have not always had the confidence to put themselves out there, shining on stage. Thank you to our audience members for showing so much appreciation to the children. These are the things that they will remember for years to come.
The week has been 'geography fieldwork week' at Kirk Fenton, with all classes taking their learning outside to investigate the geography on the school grounds and our local area. It was lovely to see classes heading off around the village, armed with their clipboards, making the most of our local environment. In Monday's worship, each class we be sharing their fieldwork findings; we are looking forward to hearing about their great learning.
Despite it being the last week of term, next week is a busy one. It will sadly be time to say good bye to our fabulous year 6 children, but we will make sure they get the send off they deserve with their leavers' lunch and school disco on Thursday, an end of year assembly on Friday morning, and a leavers' service in church on Friday afternoon. There will also be two music performances next week, for parents of children in years 3,4,5 and 6. Our music teacher, Helen Moulds, has sadly been absent for most of this term, however we have been grateful to have Melanie Evans take over, and I am delighted that she is able to come in next week so that the children can showcase what they have been learning this year. The performance for parents/carers of children in Y5 and Y6 will be on Tuesday at 2.45pm, and the performance for Y3 and Y4 parents/carers will be on Wednesday at 2.45pm.
We are expecting some very tired children on Monday morning, as I am sure many are keen to stay up and watch the final. Wouldn't it be lovely to start our final week with an England win!
Enjoy your weekend.
