1 Primary Newsletter – Friday 20th April 2018
SUMMER TERM Welcome back after the Easter break. I hope you had a restful time with your families. We have a busy half term planned, especially for year 6 and 2 who will be completing their SATs tests during the month of May. Now the weather is warming up, can I remind you that Summer dresses for girls should be blue, and also black shoes remain the only authorised footwear so no sandals are allowed. Many thanks for your cooperation in ensuring all children dress smart in school. WELCOME I am very pleased to introduce a new member of our team at St Matthew Academy. Mr Umekwe joined us on Monday as our new Deputy Head in primary. Dear Parents and carers    I am extremely privileged to have joined a talented, dedicated and caring team who strive to ensure that every child’s needs are met socially, emotionally, physically and academically. Our curriculum at St Matthew Academy is creative and inspiring and is filled with rich experiences to enhance our pupils’ learning and broaden their horizons. I value the support of our committed parents and carers, as working in close partnership with yourselves and the wider community will only ensure the best possible outcomes for all our pupils. My aim is to provide your child with an excellent 21st century education which will allow them to have the freedom to choose their own future.   NEW TOPICS Every half term, each year group starts an exciting new topic through which all of their learning is linked Please see below for the topic titles for each year group for this half term. I look forward to sharing news of outstanding learning related to our topics throughout the half term. Spring 2 Lower Phase 1 Happy Ever After Upper Phase 1 Paws, Claws and Whiskers Year 2 Africa Year 3 Shadows of the Pyramids Year 4 Look What I’ve Made! Year 5 Who We Are Year 6 The Robots are Taking Over! Meet the Teacher Session – Monday 23rd April 2018 As part of our commitment to work in partnership with you, I would like to invite you to the Summer Term ‘Meet the Teacher’ session on Monday 23rd April at 3.30pm. Each class teacher from Reception to Year 6 (apart from class 5E who will have their meeting the following week) will be holding an open session where they will talk with you about the topics the children will be learning about this term, behavioural and uniform expectations, homework and how you can support your child’s learning. There will also be an opportunity for you to ask general questions (please note for more specific questions about your child and their learning, please make a separate individual appointment to see your child’s class teacher).  We have scheduled these meetings at 3.30pm to coincide with the times that you collect your children from school. Parents have told us how useful they find these sessions, we hope you are able to come along. If for any reason you are unable to make the meetings, the class teacher will send details of what was covered at the meeting home with your child.

He explains that He knows His sheep and that they know Him, too. Christ’s job as our shepherd is to lead, care for, feed, and protect us, His flock. Jesus says that there is to be only one flock that will listen to His voice. Unlike a hired shepherd who is an uncaring worker, Jesus makes serving us His mission. Christ still feeds and cares for us even today in the sacraments of the Church. Class of the Week. For excellent art work based on the work of the artist Cezane. Class: 3E Pupil of the Week.
