We are incredibly proud of our Year 6 Sharks, who have worked so hard this week completing their SATs tests. They approached each day with determination and a positive attitude, and should feel very proud of the effort they have put in. Thank you again to Allards Butchers and the Friends for keeping them fuelled with yummy breakfast all week. 01263 860212 www.astleyprimary.org.uk office@astleyprimary.org.uk @Astley_Primary It has been an exciting time in Lions Class this week, where their chrysalises have begun to hatch. The children have loved watching this fascinating process and observing how the butterflies develop and grow. Looking ahead, new clubs start after half term - please keep an eye out for further information which you should have received yesterday. Please let the office know if you have any questions or issues booking. A reminder to also please continue checking the dates overleaf, as these are updated regularly. This week’s Music Mix has been chosen by Mrs Fuller—we hope you enjoy it! Wishing you all a great weekend.

A big well done to all of our House Team Basketball competitors last week for an exciting and well battled out competition! Amethyst were our overall winners, and all players and teams showed fantastic teamwork and spirit. 01263 860212 www.astleyprimary.org.uk office@astleyprimary.org.uk @Astley_Primary This week and next some of our classes are celebrating the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough with various themed activities linked to our topics, please do talk to your children about this. Next Monday marks the start of our Key Stage Two Assessment Week (SATs) for our Year 6 class. They have worked so incredibly hard all year, and we are already very proud of them, whatever the outcomes. A big thank you in advance to Allards Butchers for donating sausages and bacon, to our Friends for organising and to the kitchen for cooking our SATs breakfasts - great fuel for the week! I am sure you will join me in wishing them the best of luck as they complete their tests next week – you’ve got this Sharks.

We have had a great week enjoying the sunshine and our wonderful outdoor spaces. Miss Wreford began the week with an assembly about our learning theme ‘fairness’ and the children had some good discussions and reflections about this. Thank you to those families who are adhering to our car park procedures. If the situation does not improve, unfortunately we will have no option but to close the gates in the morning and allow authorised access only, meaning no morning drop offs. We realise the logistics of the morning and those working families etc, however, our priority is the safety of our pupils and community, and currently things still need to improve. Please take note of the letter we sent out last week about this and speak to the office if you have any concerns or issues. For information – hopefully this weekend we will be having some drone footage taken of the school site; you may see someone parked outside school and a drone over site, so please don’t worry if you do! Miss Harrold has chosen our Friyay tunes today. It is Bank Holiday on Monday so we look forward to seeing you back ready and raring to go on Tuesday 5th May. Please remember it is class photos on Tuesday, so smart uniform for all. Have a lovely long weekend.
