Red Class Friday Fanfare 30.06.23
30.06.23
Hello Red Class Families,
Kenilworth Castle
We started the week with our trip to Kenilworth Castle. We toured Leicester’s Gatehouse and spotted key features, for example, Robert Dudley’s initials carved into the fireplace. We also climbed steps that were over 900 years old. After lunch in the castle grounds, we shared a story about George the Dragon and filmed our country dance with the castle as the backdrop. Finally, we climbed the steps of Leicester’s Building and admired the view! Well done, Red Class, it was a really lovely day.
New Topic
On Monday, we start our new topic, ‘On the Farm’. Our class assembly will be the project for this topic. As well as our class assembly, the children will prepare for a whole school (children only) festival. More details about this event will follow soon.
Goodbye Mrs Thomas
Next week, will be Mrs Thomas’s last week at Blackwell as a teacher. The children have really enjoyed working with Mrs Thomas this year and many of them will know her from their Nursery days too. In September, Mrs Thomas will be teaching her own Nursery class in a new school. We wish her every success. Mrs Thomas’s last day is Thursday, 6th July.
Bromsgrove School Trip – Skateboard and Scootering Festival
On Tuesday, 4th July we’re off to Bromsgrove School to finely tune our skateboard and scootering skills. The children will change into their PE kits at school and packed lunches will be provided by the Blackwell Kitchen. Please pack a water bottle, sun hat and snack. Depending on the weather, please apply sun cream in the morning and pack a waterproof coat. Please send the children into school with their rucksack again (this worked really well last time) and leave book bags/ school books at home.
Summer Fair
Finally, it’s the summer fair tomorrow. The children have made Union Jack inspired trinket pots. They can be purchased from the school produce stall. If you can’t make the fair, we’ll keep the pot and a donation can be sent into school. Hopefully, I’ll see lots of children on the obstacle course tomorrow!
Best wishes, Mrs Webb and Team Red Class
