It has been a fantastic ACE Year Ahead week! Our pupils have spent lots of time getting to know their new class teams, and we would like to thank all the parents and carers who joined us on Wednesday morning. Open Morning will take place in the usual classes today and again next Friday for the final time this school year. We are excited to enjoy our final Rocksteady performances today and celebrate the hard work and dedication of our bands. We also hope you can join us for the Summer Fair after school, where our wonderful Friends of Astley will be running a range of stalls and games. As we look ahead to the final week of term, please check the summer show dates. Performances for families will take place on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning as overleaf. No tickets are required; however, we kindly ask that attendance is limited to three guests per pupil where possible, and that noise is kept to a minimum during the performances. Thank you for your support. Children will begin bringing exercise books and work home next week. You may wish to send them to school with a strong carrier bag to help transport these items safely. Thank you to our Friends who have donated money for our class parties next week to celebrate an ACE year. Your class teacher will be in contact with details about this. A reminder that school will close at 1:15pm on the last day of term, Friday 17th July. Enjoy the weekend.

It has been a super week and we have loved welcoming so many families in for our Forest School Sessions. A big well done to our Bears, Lions and Sharks who have had a fantastic time getting immersed in our outdoors this term, picking up so many useful skills along the way. Turtles and Dolphins had a brilliant day out at Bewilderwood yesterday – thank you to all the families who helped make the trip possible. Today our Lions and Tigers are off to Cromer – we hope they have a fantastic day. A massive thank you to families and our Friends for raising a super £186.86 at our recent Book Fair – this is a significant amount we now have to spend on books for the school. Today we have our final Celebration Assembly of the year. A big well done to all of our certificate winners, hot chocolate recipients, attendance superstars, and much more across the year! I would like to also take this opportunity to thank the families who support and attend our assemblies. It really is a lovely way to round off our week, and the children are very lucky to have so much family support and celebration – thank you. Next week is ACE Year Ahead week, where from Monday – Thursday morning children move up to their new classes for September. As per the letter sent out, children will go to new classes each morning on those days. Reminder – on Wednesday 8th July from 8:30am – 9:15am parents are welcome to pop into new classes for an additional open morning and meet the teacher opportunity. We are looking forward to our final Rocksteady performance which will take place next Friday 10th at 9:30am in the hall, all are welcome. Please see overleaf dates for end of year arrangements, including the summer shows, and as always – let us know if you have any questions. Have a good weekend.
