Good afternoon,

It’s been another exciting and eventful week at school! Some of our Year 6 children have taken a big step forward with their transition day at Bedford High School, getting a real taste of life beyond primary. At the other end of the school, our Reception class had a fantastic time on their trip to Manchester Airport, wide-eyed with wonder as they watched the planes take off and land. I’m sure both our oldest and youngest children came back with stories to share and big smiles on their faces!

We've also welcomed our new Reception starters into school as part of their Inspire sessions, getting ready to join us in September. It really doesn’t feel like long ago that our current Reception children were doing exactly the same – it’s hard to believe they’ve nearly completed their first full year with us!

Looking ahead, next week is set to be another busy one. On Monday, some of Year 5 and Year 6 are off on a very exciting visit to Parliament in London, which promises to be a memorable experience. We also have more transition days coming up, this time for those heading to Westleigh High School and Year 6 will take part in Kooth Wellbeing Workshops to support them through the changes ahead.

The forecast suggests that the weather is finally improving – let’s hope it stays that way all the way through the summer holidays!

Wishing you all a restful weekend,

Mr Robinson

Our school value for this week is Honesty. “Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others will respect you and treat you fairly.” Proverbs 21:21

The Christian value of Honesty can be seen in many aspects of school life, both inside and outside the classroom.

Here are some examples of where Honesty can be found:

🏫In School

Speaking the Truth – Encouraging students to always be truthful, even when it's difficult.

Owning Up to Mistakes – Teaching children to take responsibility for their actions and learn from them.

Fair Play – Being honest in games, tests, and classwork, avoiding cheating or plagiarism.

Transparent Communication – Staff and students should communicate openly and honestly with each other.

Leading by Example – Teachers and older students should model honesty in their daily interactions.

🌍In the Local Community

Returning Lost Property – Encouraging children to return lost items to their rightful owners.

Honest Dealings – Being fair in shops, on public transport, and in local activities.

Speaking Up Against Wrongdoing – Reporting dishonesty or unfairness in a respectful and constructive way.

Keeping Promises – Following through on commitments made to others.

Being Honest in Conversations – Avoiding gossip or spreading false information.

Our focus in Collective Worship this week has been looking at the Christian Value: Wisdom. Our theme this week has been about God and His World. Our Worships this week have been looking at the Big Picture News Question: Why do people explore the past?

This week’s story reminds us that God is wise and mysterious. Christians believe that we can’t fully understand everything about God, but we are encouraged to explore and find answers in the world that He made. When we keep looking for answers, it shows we care about people from the past and respect the stories they left behind.

Ask your children the following questions: Why do people work so hard to uncover stories from the past? Do you think this is important? Why? #LetYourLightShine💡
