Almighty God, our Heavenly Father

We thank you for our school, our pupils, our teachers, our parents and our governing body. Helps us to grow together as a worshipping, learning community.

We ask that you give us the humility to share our strengths and gifts humbly, and

 The determination, resilience and open-mindedness to listen to others when we are struggling.

We thank you for the friendships that we make at our school and we ask for your loving care as you watch over our school.

Most of all we ask that you continue to teach us and lead us, in being the people you would like us to be, as you walk beside us every day of our lives.

We ask this prayer in your holy name.

Amen

Dear Parents,

SATS

Swans Class SATs are done! Well done to all year 6 for all your positivity and resilience!

                  

Ducklings

We have had short but busy term learning about healthy food and keeping healthy.  We have had a trip into town to look at local shops and what they sell, with special attention paid to the green grocers, butchers and bakers. 

Next term we will be learning about castles, Knights, Kings and Queens, with a sneaky visit to Deal castle.

Kingfishers

A reminder that Kingfishers class trip to Dover Castle is on Tuesday 4^th June and the cost is £10pp. Entry to the castle is free the cost of the trip is to cover transport and activities once inside. You cannot use your English Heritage pass for this trip. With the KS1 SATs next week, it is important that all children attend school. This is an assessment for school purposes, not a reflection on your children. 

Herons

This terms class topic is Rivers. Megan has brought in an excellent example of the River Nile. Megan was able to relay facts about the river and the geography around it. This just proves what impact such topic challenges have on our children. We look forward to seeing many more in the future. Well done Megan!

                       

Swans

Today Swans relaxed after a stressful week or SATS by viewing the classic musical,

The 2019 end of year production will be loosely themed around this iconic film and we are very much looking forward to the children's take on it!

Tickets will be available to purchase in July and the performance will be held at Mongeham Village Hall on Thursday 18^th July.

 

PE / After School Clubs

Over the last two terms after school clubs have not been well attended. These clubs are a fantastic way to keep your children active and sociable.

Mr Rainer welcomes any feedback and ideas for any future clubs to boost sign ups.  Sholden School also welcomes any parent volunteers who would like to help run a club or run one independently – This can be a sports based club or an alternative activity.

If you have any feedback please contact Mr Rainer on: conor.rainer@sholdenprimary.org.uk
