On Thursday we had a class celebration as the children made their First Holy Communion. Year 3 looked fantastic as they wore their best outfits to mark their First Holy Communion. We celebrated by sharing a prayer in the hall with Mrs Porter. We sang hymns and recited some special prayers. The children enjoyed a delicious spread which was generously provided by parents.
Sports Day!
We had sports day this week. The children took part in obstacle and relay races and sprints. Here are some photos of our sports day.
This week we have looked at the story ‘The Rainbow Fish’. The story is about the feeling you get when you share something with someone.
Thank you parents for coming to our Sports Day on Tuesday – the rain wasn’t going to put us off. The children did really well and I know they were thrilled to get a medal and have an ice lolly!
On Tuesday, the new deputy head came down to spend some time with the Nursery children and at the end of the day she read us a story.

Next Friday will be our last reading morning, it would be lovely for you to join us – 8:45 – 9:00am.
The children visited the library today for the last time this term, the books will be collected back in next Friday and they will start going again in September.
Transition Morning – Thursday 13th July – Nursery children will come into Nursery as usual at 8:45am.
Next Friday is a PTA Non Uniform day – £1 donation.
It seems that every week in year six is a busy week, but the children have shone through once again.
They were fantastic in supporting their younger school-mates during the key stage one sports practice and during the actual event itself. Several teachers asked me to pass on their thanks – both to the whole class and to individuals who stood out for the care and good sense with which they carried out the responsibilities assigned to them.
The children also excelled themselves during our own key stage two sports: both in demonstrating a positive sporting attitude and in helping run the event smoothly.
And of course, when we haven’t been supporting around the school, this week has been full of rehearsals – the children are really looking forward to sharing our end of year production and I have been delighted with the effort that they are all putting in. They are going to be great!
You cannot be in year six and not be aware of the clock is ticking – the end of our time in primary school is fast approaching and with it, the mix of emotions that endings and new beginnings bring. In the week ahead, we get to share some more of what we have achieved with our parents, whilst heading out to visit our new secondary schools. When I look at the class, I know that they will do themselves proud!
One of our favourite subjects is art. We have been learning about the artist, Angie Lewin and how she loves to create art using pens and watercolour paints. We collected interesting plants from our school gardens, created our own still lifes and then tried out Angie Lewin’s techniques for ourselves. We also love to listen to jazz music as we create art together. We are very proud of our artwork!
What a week it was. Prepping for the open evening and working super hard on our assembly. The children showed resilience and perseverance, they remembered all the lines so well and used loud and clear voices when speaking! I can’t be more proud! We were painting, sticking, writing labels and even made a paper mache globe.
We’ve learned new songs and sang them beautifully. We even held the whole world in our hands!!!
The children had the opportunity to learn a lot about the creation of the world and to apply their knowledge in different contexts. Once again… Well done reception for a wonderful assembly!
For the open evening we all worked very hard, tidying the classroom, sharpening pencils, making displays and most importantly – showing our amazing writing, painting, clay work, maths skills and so much more! We made beautiful clay friendship tea coasters and talked about God being our friend. We decided to use different kind of beans and the children created beautiful patterns.
Our writing was definitely the cherry on the cake. Have a look yourself:
In English we began reading a new book ‘Oi Frog’. We’ve had so much fun looking for rhyming words and thinking about where different animals should sit.
Big, big thank you for supporting us! It was a real pleasure seeing so many of you on our Assembly and Open evening!
Important dates: Tuesday 04.07.23, 10 am – Sports day (your child should come to school already wearing PE kit)
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Mrs Solakova
Our new Topic in RE is ‘Our World’. We talked about who made the world, the things that were made and nursery were very good at remembering what Reception had told us in their class assembly. We watched a video of God making the world:
The children have also been looking at the ‘Our World’ Area in the classroom:
We have now come to the end of looking at Olivers Vegetables and Oliver’s Fruit Salad – the children keep singing the fruit salad song that Mrs Gallaher taught them. The children created some art work – their own plate of food and talked about what they had chosen with a grown up.
This week the children were delighted to see some new toys in the nursery – these new toys were purchased using the money raised from the Cake sale that happened just before half term.

We have been out on the field this week practising for Sports Day. The children will be doing a variety of sports activities and are excited for you to come and watch us in action.
It has been another exciting week for Year Six as we have enjoyed three workshops: firstly, we met a paralympian, who led a workshop on handball and wheelchair basketball…
On Tuesday, we enjoyed ‘Dancing through the Decades’, exploring some of the iconic dance moves from the fifties through to the present day…
And then a jazz workshop on Wednesday…
And if that wasn’t enough, we enjoyed the grand final of St Adrian’s Got Talent on Friday! And amongst all of that, we still found time lessons and rehearsals of our year six production!
Linked to our class book called A Walk in London, we have taken a tour around the school grounds and talked about all the fabulous experiences we have in school. We imagined that we were Mrs Porter and wrote tours of the school, which showed what accomplished authors we all are. To finish our tour, we wrote captions that describe what makes St Adrian’s school special to us. You are warmly welcomed to come and visit our class during Open Evening this Wednesday 28th June (4-5.30pm) to see all of the fabulous learning that we are so proud of.
We enjoyed dance from the 1950s to the 2000s on Tuesday
Wednesday was the day for a jazz workshop

Years 1 and 2 work together to communicate through clapping.
