Summer 2 Newsletter – KS1 and KS2

We have been continuing to work hard moving into our last half term of the school year-
​oh my! Throughout the school we have been acting, singing, dancing, making, sculpting, drawing and painting! We have lots of upcoming events so please find more details below and some reminders of future dates.
 
Wrongsemble Theatre Performance
Wednesday 2nd July

Following last year’s successful visit from Wrongsemble Theatre Company, we are delighted to welcome them back to school. We feel it is important that the children enjoy a live theatre performance in school each year.  We request a donation of £2 per child towards this event.  This will be set up as a payment for you on School Money.

Parents’ Association Summer Festival
Friday 4th July

A reminder that our Summer Festival will take place on Friday 4th July from
4.30pm – 6:30 pm.  We hope to see as many families as possible at this event. In order to prepare for this there will be two non-uniform days in exchange for a donation for the fair. On Friday 27th June we would like a donation for the teddy and book tombolas. On the day of the fair itself (4th July) please could children in Nursery, Reception, Year and Year 2 bring a donation of chocolate or sweets and children in Years 3 – 6 bring a bottle for the bottle tombola. 
 
Norbury Fest
Wednesday 9th July

We are also working hard to rehearse performances ready to share with our friends and families in our whole school Norbury Fest celebrations! Performances will be repeated so that families with more than one child in school can be accommodated. Performances will be at 1:30 pm, 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm. The exception to this is Nursery who will be doing one performance at 2:00 pm. We will then congregate together in front of the junior adventure playground at 2:50 to perform one last song as a whole school. Weather permitting we will hold the event in the school grounds. Further details will be made available before the time. The children have also been creating a range of products to sell to you as part of their enterprise project. This will be a cash only event, so please bring plenty of change with you. The children will then return to class and be dismissed as normal at the end of the day. We look forward to welcoming you to this event and we hope it is one that the whole family enjoy!
 
Savoy Cinema Visits
10th and 11th of July

The Parents’ Association have very kindly funded a visit for every child in school to the Savoy Cinema in Heaton Moor. Over the course of two days, all the children will be travelling by coach to the cinema, enjoying the film and then returning to school. All visits will take place in the school day and the children will be in school for their lunch. All costs for this visit will be funded by the PA.

Visits will take place at the following times:
Thursday 10th July – AM
Years 3 and 4

Thursday 10th July – PM
Years 5 and 6

Friday 11th July - AM
Nursery and Reception

Friday 11th July - PM
Years 1 and 2
 
Children in Years 3 – 6 will be watching the BFG. This is a PG film so if you have any questions or objections to your child seeing this film, please contact their class teacher.  On the Friday, our younger children will be watching the film Wish.  A snack of popcorn and a bottle of water is included.  Again, if you have any objections to this, please contact the class teacher.  We do need parental permission for this visit – if you haven’t already then please complete the Google form at https://forms.gle/QW2HkvRW17e5n6WZ6 to give your consent to your child taking part. If you can offer your support on the day, please contact your child’s class teacher.
 
Tapestry
Friday 11th July

As a school, we stop using Tapestry as a way of sharing with parents at the end of Year 1. Parents and carers of children moving from Year 1 to Year 2, will need to download any pictures, or work saved on their child’s profile, (should you wish to keep it) before it gets cleared. This will need to be completed by Friday 11th July, please.
 
Thanks for your continued support as ever,
Team Norbury
