Congratulations class 20!
The money snake winners from last week are Class 20! The Friends of Ravenswood have arranged a special ice-cream van visit in the near future. They’ve banked about half of the money so far and the current total is: £416.05 – thank you so much for your support!
SATs week
From Monday to Thursday next week, our Year 6 pupils will be taking their SATs. They have worked incredibly hard throughout the year, showing real determination and commitment, and we are all extremely proud of them.
To help the children feel calm, confident and ready to do their best, please ensure they arrive at school on time each morning.
While SATs are an important part of the children’s journey, our Year 6 team has worked carefully to strike the right balance — encouraging pupils to achieve their full potential without placing unnecessary pressure on them. We are always mindful that SATs do not define our children or tell the whole story of who they are.
They cannot capture their kindness, creativity, sense of humour or thoughtfulness, nor the joy they bring simply by being part of our school community. We will be reminding our Year 6 pupils to try their best, but also reassuring them that whatever the outcome, they are valued, capable and have so much to be proud of.
Nursery Ducklings
Nursery children have had a very special week welcoming duckling eggs which have hatched. The children have been smiling at their tiny eyes and wobbly walks!
