Thumbs up if you're proud of smashing SATs week!
We Are So Proud of Our Year 6 Children! This week, our incredible Year 6 children have shown such determination, resilience and maturity as they completed their SATs tests – and we couldn't be prouder of each and every one of them. They have approached the week with positive attitudes, supported one another brilliantly and truly demonstrated all the values we encourage here at Temple Meadow. Their hard work over the years has really shone through and they should feel so proud of what they have achieved. As we now move into the final few months of Year 6, there is lots to look forward to. The focus shifts to celebrating their time with us, creating lasting memories and preparing them for their exciting next steps to secondary school. Well done, Year 6 – you are all amazing!
We need your help! As we get closer to our Summer Festival, we're busy planning some exciting activities – including a raffle – and we're hoping our wonderful community can help us out. If you, your business, or someone you know would be able to donate a raffle prize, we would be incredibly grateful. In return, we're more than happy to advertise and publicly thank them on our Facebook page as a small token of our appreciation. If you're able to help, please get in touch with us – every donation, big or small, really does make a difference Thank you for supporting our school community!
A special start to SATs week! This morning, we were delighted to welcome Murphy from HugglePets into school to spend some time with our Year 6 children ahead of their SATs. Murphy provided some calm, cuddles and comfort, helping our children feel relaxed and ready for the days ahead. What a lovely way to begin an important week! We are so proud of our Year 6 children – you have worked incredibly hard and we know you will do your very best.
Good Luck Year 6! Wishing all of our wonderful Year 6 children the very best of luck as they begin their SATs tomorrow! You have all worked incredibly hard and we are so proud of everything you have achieved already. We believe in every single one of you! You've got this, Year 6!
Today we have been celebrating Dare to Be Different Day! It has been wonderful to see so many children come into school proudly wearing outfits that reflect their individuality and uniqueness. From bold choices to creative styles, every child has truly embraced the opportunity to express who they are. This day links closely to our school values, especially being proud of who we are. We are so proud of our children for celebrating what makes them special and supporting one another to do the same. We are also delighted to share that we raised £300 today towards our OPAL funding – thank you so much to our families for your continued support! Well done to everyone who took part – you made today a fantastic celebration of individuality!
