Lomeshaye Life After the disruption caused to school and families by the weather last week we are finally back on track and have some great news to share. Read on to find out more... This week our attendance is 97.8% for the whole school. This is absolutely fantastic and three classes also had 100% attendance this week. Well done and thank you for getting to school every day, I hope this continues next week too. Mock SATs—all of our Year 6 pupils have been sitting their mock exams this week and they have done very well, especially considering they have all missed four days of school last week. Families should be very proud of their children in Year 6 for approaching the exams with positive attitudes and trying their best. We hope that all of our Year 6 pupils continue to work hard as there are now only 7 school weeks left until the real exams will be taking place. May I also take this opportunity to remind parents of the Easter School that will be hosted in the second week of the Easter holiday—this is a great opportunity for your children to do some revision and get extra support and practise during the holiday. Please look out for letters coming home with details soon. British Science Week—from 9th to 18th March is British Science Week. In school we have shared information with the children about this week. Pupils have been introduced to the British Science website which has interactive elements for children to learn more about the effects of plastics pollution in the worlds seas and oceans. As part of British Science Week there is a national competition which everyone can enter if they wish, the theme of which is exploration and discovery. All posters must be returned to Mrs. Cooper in school by 22nd March when they will be sent off for judging. Assessment Week—next week is assessment week for pupils in Years 3, 4 and 5. Please make sure your child gets early nights and a good breakfast before school so that they can perform as well as possible in their tests. All week assessments in Year 3, 4 and 5.
