Now that we are well and truly into the summer term, the diary becomes very busy with events and activities. The term can be summarised into three parts; assessment season, CREATE term and transition. 

Very soon assessment season will be with us, with SATs week looming very soon, followed by phonics screening in Year 1 and the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) for Year 4. Teachers and children are working hard in preparation for this and rehearsing the knowledge that they need to be successful in these assessments. As parents, please continue to support your child by reading daily, practising those phonics sounds and special friends and repeating times tables. Furthermore, provide encouragement and support when needed to make sure that they don't become overwhelmed. 

Summer term also means that Rodings becomes very creative as we explore the arts and all they can offer us to enrich our lives and support our wellbeing. A great array of projects including music, drama, dance and visual art, will be filling the classrooms working with some great partners, such as Hip Hop Pop, The Drama Geezers and the Ten Parishes. All very exciting! And of course, R-Fest will be back to celebrate all the wonderful work produced.

Finally, we will be supporting the children as they transition into the new phases of their education. We will be welcoming our new families into Goslings as a variety of events over the next few months support the children into 'Big School'. We have already started transition work with secondary schools as our Year 6 children look forward to their exciting journey into secondary education. We will also be holding our annual class swap morning in July so that the children will get to know their new teachers. More information on this will be published after half-term. 

As you can see, it will be a very busy but exciting term full of opportunities, special projects and new starts. 
 

Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend!

Remy went to a horse show last night and he came 1^st and 3^rd in both his classes. He rode really well and was super grateful and kind to his amazing pony Harry!  We are so proud of him!

Well done Remy, we are so proud of you :-)
