Artists in residence



Over the last few weeks we have been focusing on “Beautiful Bath” and our Newbridge 50 challenge of creating an art exhibition. The children have been working hard to produce beautiful drawings of Bath landmarks. Tomorrow we will be visited by a local artist, Jo Hargreaves, who will be showing the children some of her artwork and discussing her life as an artist with them. This work will culminate next Tuesday afternoon when the Year 2 children will be holding an exhibition of their work in the Lower School Hall. Please look in book bags on Friday as your child will be bringing home an invitation to this event.

Hopefully you will have received a Parent Mail asking for help with our trip on Friday. Please let us know if you are available to help so that the trip can go ahead as planned. Many thanks.

Please note that today is the final day we will be changing books. From Friday we will be collecting books and link books once your child has finished their current one. Please remember that the school library is open most days after school and books can be borrowed over the Summer holidays. BANES libraries are taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge. Here is a link to the national website: http://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/ . The school’s “Remarkable Readers” website is a great source of information and activities to support reading. You can access this via a link on the school website.

On Monday afternoon the children will be visiting their new classroom and teacher. Please collect children as normal at the end of the day.

As next week is the last week of term there will be no spellings or maths homework sent home this week. Thank you for your support with these activities over the year.
