Well that half term went quickly! No awards this week so straight onto school news. Have a lovely half term break and lets hope for lots of sunshine for the rest of term. Dont forget to check through the calendar on the website for all the dates for the rest of the term.

SCHOOL NEWS Pupil Questionnaire Following the parent questionnaire that we sent out we now have a questionnaire for the children. This can be done completely online ion the school website. To access this, your child needs to go to the whole school community and then click on surveys on the left hand side. It is important that as many children complete this as possible. If your child is still fairly young for the school and needs support with reading and writing please take the time to help them complete the questions. Thank you. Class Structure for 2015-2016 Following feedback on the parent questionnaire, I am planning to send out details of the class structures for next year shortly after the half term break. As always some year groups will be split, this is an inevitable consequence of the size of our school and the fact that we only have 5 classes for 7 year groups. All decisions made by the school are final but please be assured that all children have been discussed at length and decisions are made in the best interests of the children. Medicine Please note that medicine must not be sent into school with children and can only be administered by staff when the correct permission forms have been completed. If you child requires any medicine of any kind in school please take it to the school office at the start of a day and speak to Mrs Johnson.

Y6 at PGL Another fantastic residential where the children not only had a brilliant time but represented the school with pride. We are going to miss these guys when they move on next year.

Forest School Days some dates changed for Wrens and Robins One of the areas we are interested in developing at St Oswalds is outdoor learning. As such I have organised a Forest School experience for each class after half term. These will be led by Mrs Rachel Macdonald, a highly experienced forest school teacher and will be an exciting enrichment opportunity for the children. On a forest school day children will need to wear their own old clothes, and bring wellies and a waterproof coat. I will send more detailed information about each day nearer the time but for now the REVISED dates are:

Robins Monday June 22 Wrens Thursday June 4 Sparrows Monday June 29 Goldfinches Friday June 12 Hummingbirds Friday June 19
