Together Everyone Achieves More Wednesday 20th July Issue

This will be our last newsletter this term. I hope that you all have an enjoyable break and that the weather remains as

good as it is now. We all wish our year 6 children and those in other year groups who are leaving us well in their new

schools.

Sadly we say goodbye to Mrs Jeffries, Mrs Green, Mrs Cooper, Mr Mooney, Mrs Wild,

Mrs Wilkinson, Mrs Moss, Mrs Howell.

We wish them all the best for the future!

Monkshouse Has Got Talent!

We had exciting afternoon of dance,

singing, ventriloquists, gymnastics,

drumming and Rubiks Cube skills last

Friday as the class winners per-

formed to an audience of pupils,

parents and judges! All the partici-

pants were very confident and did really well.

The overall winner was the ‘Wild Card’

entry which was Daisy Darley who per-

formed an amazing

Bollywood dance.

The school were then treated

to a ‘Spice Girl’ performance

from Mr Roberts,

Mrs Wheatley,

Miss Hales, Miss

Dobbs and Mrs

Lane!

Year 6 v Staff Rounders

The year 6 children challenged the staff on Monday to

the annual rounders match. This year, the staff were

victors winning 6-2!

KS1 Kick-Rounders

Children in KS1 participated in an

inter-house kick rounders competition

on Monday with Phoenix beating Grif-

fin in the final 7-5! Unicorn came

third and Centaur fourth. Well done

to all involved!

Bike Safety

If your child cycles to school, please can you remind them the importance to

stay safe.

• Look behind before you turn, overtake or stop

• Use arm signals before you turn right or left

• Obey traffic lights and road signs

• On busy or narrow roads do not cycle next to another person

• When overtaking parked cars, watch out for car doors opening sud-

denly

These are just some of the rules children who ride on roads should know.

Young cyclists need to learn what road signs mean, how to deal with rounda-

bouts and understand when to give way.
