Evie in Class 3/4JB is missing a khaki puffer coat from Next. She last had it before breaking up for the Easter holidays and we would be grateful if you could check at home in case it has been brought back in error.

Thank you.

I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter holiday and it has been lovely to welcome the children back to school, this week.

You may have noticed that we had some work done on the school site, over the holidays and the peace garden has been resurfaced to make it accessible in all weathers.  Thank you very much to Greenscape for carrying out the work at a discounted cost and to the HSA for their fundraising that has allowed us to have the work carried out. It really has made a difference to our outside area and the children have very much enjoyed using the outdoor space.

Please could I remind families that communication with school should be sent to the info@chur-ascen.dudley.sch.uk rather than emailing teachers directly. This then allows us to ensure that any queries are passed on to the appropriate person and responded to as soon as possible.

As a reminder regarding PE Kits, children will continue to need pumps appropriate for indoor PE, this term. Our uniform policy is available in the parents’ area of the website.

Hopefully you will have all received a letter today regarding key dates for this term.  We endeavour to keep the calendar on the website up to date, too.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend.

Honesty is our core value, this half term and this week we have been considering the saying, “honesty is the best policy”.  Our children gave some very thoughtful responses about why people sometimes lie.  We then thought about how Peter lied and denied knowing Jesus, 3 times.  We also considered that Peter lied because he was afraid and that Jesus understood this and showed compassion.

In Thursday’s assembly, we had a behaviour reset.  We reminded ourselves of the school’s 3 rules: use kind and respectful hands and feet; use kind and respectful words; be ready and responsible to learn.  We all reflected on how our behaviour impacts on others.

Dear Parent/Carer

Dudley Performing Arts are pleased to invite you and your child to our Y6 Transition Evening, taking place on 21st May from 18:30 till 19:30 at Cable Plaza, Waterfront West, Brierley Hill. DY5 1LW.

This event is designed to support Year 6 pupils as they prepare to begin music lessons with Dudley Performing Arts at their new secondary school, helping them feel confident and at ease about the transition.

During the evening, we will provide key information from secondary schools, including:

• The location of the music department within the school

• Details about lesson timetables
• Where lessons will take place
• Names of music leads
• An introduction to your child’s likely Dudley Performing Arts teacher

This is also a great opportunity for pupils to become familiar with what to expect and to feel excited about continuing their musical journey. We look forward to welcoming you and your child to this important and enjoyable event.

There will also be an opportunity for your child to play alongside their teachers and fellow year 6’s in an open rehearsal, which will take place immediately after the presentation. This will only be for about half an hour but will be very informal.

If you are interested, please fill out the Microsoft form (attached) and send back to me by the 30^th April.
