Science Week
We held a very successful science week which saw the children involved
with a number of activities which they enjoyed. It culminated in the
children shooting off rockets in the field – it was amazing how high some
of them went!

Sports Day
Thank you to Ms Lashmar for organising a very successful Sports Day. The
children had an enjoyable time competing in a number of events such as egg
and spoon race, three legged race and obstacle. Well done to Oak house
who won the event overall. Thank you also to the parents and carers who
turned up to support their children.
Warm weather
Please can I remind parents that with the increasing warm weather it is
Calverton School Newsletter
very important that children wear appropriate clothing and footwear when
they come to school. We encourage children to wear caps, use sun cream
and drink plenty of fluid throughout the day.
Bikes in Playground
Could we please ask children and adults to refrain from riding bikes in the
playground before and after school as there are a number of small children
around.

This year our carnival theme is ‘World Cup Countries’. It will take place on
Friday 9th July 2010 from 9.30am. The children will take part in a parade
wearing costumes which they are currently making at school. After the

song, dance or both which they have learnt as a class. Parents and Carers
are welcome to parade with their child or watch the singing and dancing
event happening from around 10.15am. We look forward to seeing you on
the day. For this day only the temporary gate from Jade Close will be open
to allow entrance to parents/carers.
Summer Fete
We will be holding our Summer Fete on Friday 9th July between 2.30pm
and 4.30pm. Children can be collected from 2.30pm on that day. The
entrance fee will be 50p for adults and children are free. There will be

fun filled afternoon. Congratulations to Nicola and Petra in 3G for
designing the winning entrance programme.

Building Work
July 2010
There is building work, due to start in the summer holiday, which
will see both the Foundation stage and K.S1 classrooms enlarged
and to be of a more appropriate size for the number of children.
The work is expected to take about 1 year to complete but I am
sure that you agree with me that it is essential that the children
get the classrooms they deserve. When we know more details of
the building schedule we will let you have them.
Calverton School Newsletter
And finally
We have had a very busy year at Calverton which has seen the
school make good progress. Standards have continued to rise and
we have had successes in sporting and singing events as well as
taking part in activities organised by the borough. I would like to
say a big thank-you to all the staff and parents for their
continued hard work and support this year, as without them or
you Calverton would not achieve as much as they have. Thank you.
