NEWSLETTER 5 DATE: 17.05.2013
Next week is going to be very busy with an
extensive range of sporng acvies for Sports and Fitness
Week.
Mr Wolfendale, PE subject leader, has idenfied the focus
for this year as ‘Hand and eye
coordinaon’.
We are very lucky with the support provided by parents on educaonal
visits out of school. It is not always possible to include every parent who
has volunteered to help, but when you do help it is great to have
feedback.
Dear Mrs Mears,
Hand eye coordinaon is the ability of the vision system to
coordinate informaon received through the eyes to control, guide and direct the hands in the accomplishment of a
given task such as, hand wring or catching a ball. During
the week children will be taking part in sporng
acvies which required good hand eye coordinaon such
as, tennis, hockey, rounders and hand ball.
I would like to say how much I enjoyed my day with Recepon on their
trip to London Zoo. The group were well behaved and I was parcularly
impressed with how sensible they were when walking to and from the
coach to the Zoo. I spent most of my me with Kit, Tobi, Levy and Elyas they were fun to be with for the day. We saw many, many different
animals. My favourites were the penguins and it was parcularly excing
to go to the penguin show and watch them at feeding me.
The usual sports mornings or a,ernoons will take place. As
always parents are warmly welcome to a.end.
Thank you so much to Mrs Kaplan and Miss Browne and all of the other
staff for organising such a fantasc day. I will definitely be telling all of
the other school governors at our next meeng that is was a very good
trip. I was very red though and when I got home I had to have a sit
down and a very big cup of tea!
Please remind the children to have their PE kit in school
from Monday morning and keep your
fingers crossed for good weather. In the event of sustained
rain the events will be cancelled and parents nofied by
text.
Best wishes,
Polly

Katie Morag.
Big thank you goes
to Yaser and
Sharmarke who
volunteered to be
the Grannies!
Who is Katie Morag? Katie Morag is a girl who
lives on a little island called Struay in Scotland.
How do we know about her? Well, thanks to
Mairi Hedderwick who wrote many
books about her.
Katie Morag has 2
Grannies, Grannie
Island and Grannie
Mainland.
The two Grannies are
very different.
Grannie Mainland is
very posh and fancy and
she likes to wear
fashionable dresses and
colourful hats.
Grannie Island is a
farmer and has a prize
winning sheep called
Alecina!
In the book ‘Katie Morag
delivers the mail’ she accidently
slips on a slithery stone and
falls into the water with all of
the parcels she supposed to
deliver.
Acting out!

about the
grannies.
Surprised
Grannie Mainland!
CBeebies have chosen their Katie Morag for their show!
It will be screened in autumn.
Both Recepon classes went to the zoo on Monday. We had
been looking forward to it for weeks and everyone was very
excited on the way there. There was a lot of walking to see
all of the animals. The penguin and ger territory were
highlights as were the ancs of the parrot during the show.
The bus was much quieter on the way back to school! Many
thanks to all the parents who volunteered to help us.
