Transition for September
Our Year 6 pupils who will be going to Acle Academy will be having their transition days next Monday and Tuesday. We shall have our own transition morning for pupils within our school on the second of those days.
All our pupils will move up to be with their ‘new’ teachers on Tuesday morning, in readiness for September. They will return to their current classes at the end of the morning, having had the chance to work together with their new teachers and support staff.
Parents will have the chance to meet their child’s new teacher at the start of the day, whilst pupils are in a whole school assembly (from 9.05 to 9.25).
UEA Cluster Athletics competition Well done to all the amazing pupils who took part in the Cluster Athletics competition at UEA today! They swept the board and won both the overall Field, and Track trophies. Our school also won the South Shield, which is presented to the school that has achieved the most overall points from all of the Cluster events over the year.
Key Stage 1 Sports Day
All the pupils from Reception and KS1 took part in a range of sports throughout the day on Wednesday this week. During the morning the children took part in a range of fun sporting activities and in the afternoon the track events took place, as well as the tennis ball throwing competition. At the end of the afternoon, after lots of exciting races and fun relays, the Red team emerged as winners!
Well done to all the children involved, and thanks to all the parents who came out to cheer the pupils on final colour team results were as follows:

School reports (including SATs results for Year 6)

If you do wish to discuss any aspect of the report with your child’s class teacher, they will be available for an appointment on Monday 15 July (between 3.30 and 4.30pm).
Music concert
Mr Draycott, from the Norfolk Music Hub (who has been teaching whole class music sessions this year to Year 2 and Year 3 pupils) will be organising a short, relaxed musical concert next Tuesday afternoon in the school hall (2.45 pm).
The pupils from Year 2 and 3 will be playing a few pieces of music they have been learning this year and demonstrating some of the other musical skills they have been taught too.
Parents are very welcome to join us for this occasion, which will be finished before the end of the school day.
Music tuition from September
Letters have gone out to Year 3, 4 and 5 pupils this week, who are either already receiving lessons or who have expressed an interest in starting lessons, outlining the possible music lesson opportunities from September. Please could you return the completed slips by Tuesday 16 July.
We shall be continuing with some whole class music tuition next year, provided by Norfolk Music Hub, starting with Year 4 pupils; this will be free, as it is this year, and will form part of the pupils’ overall music curriculum at our school. More details will be sent out in September.
Big Sing
Our Year 4 children really enjoyed the experience of taking part in the Big Sing event at the Norfolk Show last week. The event went live on the Wednesday morning when they performed, so hopefully some of you were able to hear the songs and enjoy the occasion. Year 4s also sang brilliantly at the school fete and BBQ last Friday – well done to all of them!
Guitar Exams
Congratulations to the following Year 5 pupils, who have all passed their Trinity Guildhall guitar exams – Initial Grade (all with merit):
Toby Scott, Seth Aldous and Samuel Painter

KS2 Play
Pupils have been learning lines, practising songs and perfecting dance routines for the end of year KS2 musical play which is based on Roald Dahl’s revolting rhymes version of Snow White.
If you have not already done so, please return the request form for tickets as soon as possible so that we know how many people to expect in the audience at Acle Academy on 17 July (7 pm start).
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is Space Chase - an out of this world adventure inspired by the 50th anniversary of the moon landings. Children join super space family The Rockets for a thrilling mission to track down books which have been nabbed by mischievous aliens. Everyone who signs up will receive a collector folder to get them started. As they read library books over the summer, they join The Rockets and track down the books - picking up some stinky stickers along the way. Anyone can take part - under 5s have their own special challenge and can collect stickers for sharing stories at home.
Join Space Chase this summer at your local library or mobile library from 13 July. A member of the local library will be talking to the children in an assembly to tell them about the challenge.
