HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER HOLIDAY

Thank you for all your Support this Year

Best Wishes from all the Staff.

We have been saying our farewells to Staff, Children and Families who are moving on into new Schools and homes and we wish to thank all these people for their individual contribution to making the School such a special place to be.

Mrs Watson is leaving her 1 day a week job, after working at Reignhead for a total of 10 years full-time and 1 year part-time.  We wish her lots of luck and best wishes for the future and thank her for all the special contributions she has made to the School in the past.

Unfortunately we have had to lose two teachers this year due to falling numbers and a reduced budget:-

Mrs Powell is leaving after only 1 year to spend more time with family and friends- We thank her for her wonderful work this year

Miss Ball is leaving and moving to a new School in the near future and we wish her good luck in her future career.

Mrs Cresswell one of our KS2 Teaching Assistants is retiring to spend more time with her family- We do hope she returns from time to time with her delicious home baking!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST

We say "goodbye" to our Y6 Children who are moving on to the next important stage in their education. We have given all our Y6 Children an excellent start to their learning journey and we wish them every success in the future.

A HUGH THANK YOU

To all the dedicated parent/helpers who give so generously of their time to enrich the provision of our School.

We must say a special thank you to the parents who contributed to the Outstanding Float that won 1st place in the Beighton Gala - Your work was amazing.

Thank you to the parents who supported the Lord Mayors Parade - our Best Ever turn out - Thank you.

Finally an enormous Thank you to the parents and grandparents who regularly help in bases supporting Children and Teachers each week of the year.

Have a wonderful holiday with your Children.

NEWSLETTER- JUNE 2006

A Warm Welcome to the Summer!!

As we begin the last half term of the school year.

As many of you will know we have been awarded with the prestigious Eco Schools "Green Flag Award".  This means the school receives a cheque for £2000.00 to further improve the school outdoor environment.  Well done to everyone and keep up the Eco-friendly work!

School half term 5 saw great effort and lots of hard work from all our children and staff as our Y2-Y6 children all sat the end of school year SATs. These end of year tests provide us with a National comparison of your childs individual attainment in Writing, Reading and Maths.  At Reignhead the Staff track children's individual progress in learning throughout every half term of the school year.  The SATs results provide additional information on how your achieves in a formal test situation.  These results are combined with our ongoing teacher assessments to give an overall assessment of your childs ability in these subject areas.  The teachers are currently completing your childs annual report and you will be receiving this on Thursday 29th June.

Parents open evening -Wednesday 5th July - 3:30-6:00pm

I strongly encourage all parents/carers to attend our final Open Evening of this academic year.  This is an opportunity to celebrate your childs hard work and progress through the year and look towards how you can help your child in the next academic year.

Class groups and teachers will be displayed in all Bases on Parents Open Evening.

Please take the opportunity to look at the Base your child will be learning in next year and to meet their new teachers and support staff.

Thank You for your help with Homework

A big thankyou to parent/carers who have regularly supported their children with homework throughout the year.  It makes a tremendous difference to childrens progress, especially in reading.

Our School is Praised and Admired by many visitors

During the past half term we have had many visitors to Reignhead, looking at how we work and how the School environment supports learning.  All our visitors have been very impressed by the quality of provision and the learning environment in the school.  The visitors have included Sheffield Headteachers, Teachers, an Education Consultancy Company using our school to produce DVD's to help schools evaluate their practice, BBC staff filming our Computer Club and new parents bringing their children to our school. We all feel very proud of these external confirmations of our hard work.

Visit our amazing Arts Event Exhibition

Once again the Staff have put in tremendous efforts to plan a fortnight of creativity that would enable the creative talents of our children to be maximised.  The results can be seen in the Whole School Exhibition in the school hall.  Please take the time to look at the high quality work that was produced by all the children and displayed so professionally by the staff.

VISIT THE EXHIBITION:

EVERY MORNING-  8.15 - 8.50am AND EVERY EVENING- 3.00 - 3.30pm.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME

City sporting events

Thank you to the parents/families who supported these events.  Our Children took part in the City Swimming Gala and the City Athletics in the final week of Half Term 5.  We were very proud of all their efforts and team work.  Their behaviour and conduct was a real credit to the School.  Well done everyone!

11 Children have been successful in their events and are taking part in the City Athletics Finals on THURSDAY 29th JUNE.  We Wish them every success.
