Our busy summer term is well and truly underway with lots of children enjoying activities beyond the classroom last week and more on the way in the week to come.
It was wonderful to welcome Cheryl Stewart and Susie Cochrane, old friends of ours, back into school on Friday afternoon to work with our Year 3 children as they begin their Wonderful World project entitled, The Air We Breathe. The children worked with so much enthusiasm and energy as they danced and sang their way through the afternoon. A reminder that only children attending the Playhouse performance will attend further sessions. If you haven’t filled in the Google form, or if you would now like your child to attend, please let us know your response by the end of the day on Monday, the response form will close after this.
A group of Year 4 children represented Swansfield at the School Games, held at the Alnwick Gardens on Friday. Mr Fordham-Scott and Liz report that the children were super sports and had great fun!
We had our final class family lunch of the year on Wednesday with our Oak class family and friends joining us for a roast. This was a really happy occasion, thank you to all who attended. We will be welcoming our Year 6 families in for a leaver’s lunch on Wednesday 17th July - sign up form will follow soon.
Let’s have a look at the week to come:
-
Our Year 1 and 2 children are heading to Alnwick Castle on Monday as part of their castles topic. Please ensure that children have a waterproof coat - the showers seem never ending at the moment!

Let’s see who has been impressing this week as we take a look at our stars of the week. A huge well done to: Everly Blair, Carson Duffill, Jonny Evans, Bonnie Nicholson, Henry Knox, Alexis Hogg, Sidney Stansfield, Harry Beresford, Oliver West and Sofia Bonnett
In addition to this, Miss Thompson and Mrs O’Connell have awarded stars to all the Maples for working so hard on their times tables in preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check.
We are very proud of you all.
As the Euros kick off, here’s the official theme song for everyone to enjoy. It’s called Fire and is a collaboration between OneRepublic, Meduza and Leony.
