Dear Parents and Carers,
As we ramp up to the final few weeks of term, we also start looking ahead to the new academic year! An important part of this is to evaluate how this year has been and identify what we can develop further. I would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete this short parent survey in order for us to gain your views on our school. https://forms.gle/AGjKFxYN1KfxV1LA7
This Week at St Margaret’s
- Years 4 and 5 had a great time at the Legacy Games at the Angmering School on Tuesday. We also had lots of children represent St Margaret's at the Multi-Skills event after school too! What an active day! Congratulations to all the children involved.
- Children spent time on Wednesday in their new classes as part of our Transition Day. Our Year 6 children had their first day at their new secondary school. This can be an unsettling time for us all as we face a time of change. In Collective Worship, we have been reflecting on our theme of 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, God will be with you'. We have learnt about different stories in the Bible which show how God never leaves us, and we can trust in Him.
- Years 3 and 4 Sports morning 9.15am and Years 5 and 6 Sports morning 10.45am tomorrow (Friday 3rd July). Parents and carers are invited to attend.
- Our Year 6 children have been working hard at their entrepreneurial 'Tenner Challenge' and begin sales after school tomorrow. See attached letter.
