Dear Parents and Carers,

Olympic Legacy Festival

Well done to the children who took part in the Olympic Legacy Festival at Park School. The effort and determination displayed by every child was exemplary, as was their behaviour.

Torrington Aquathlon

The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the aquathlon. Their team spirit towards each other and the children from other schools was outstanding.

Class One, Monday 17th June, Pirates at Skern Lodge Outdoor Activity Centre

The children will be spending the day at Skern Lodge to support their pirates topic. They will be rafting on the River Torridge and will be taking part in team challenges at the Skern Lodge base.

Children will need to be dropped off at Skern Lodge at 9.00 am and collected at 2.00 pm.

Your child will need a packed lunch and snacks with a non-fizzy drink. Your child will need their swimming trunks/costume, a towel, clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and bring some old trainers or shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.

Your child will also need a waterproof coat, sun hat and sun block as appropriate.

Year Five, Monday 17th June, Beach Volley Sport, Croyde

Your child will need to wear their school PE kit and bring a packed lunch with plenty of non- fizzy drinks and should have sunblock and a hat and a waterproof coat depending on the weather. Your child will need to be dropped off at the Village Hall at 8.50 am and the coach will be leaving at 9.00 am promptly. The children will return to school for a normal pick up time.

Wednesday 19th June Sports Day

We will be starting at 1.00 pm and following a similar format to last year. For the first half, the children will be competing in teams, in events such as the vortex throw and the water carry. In the second half, we will be having sprints and longer distance races. Everyone will have the opportunity to compete in all of the races. The children will be free to leave with parents or carers at the end of Sports Day, or they will be walked back to school for a usual 3.30pm finish. Please notify your child’s teacher if you are taking your child from the field.

Please car share where possible or park in the village and walk to the Goodleigh Playing Field on Road. Staff are unable to steward car parking as they will be responsible for the children, therefore any cars parked on the field may experience a delay in departing.

Year Three, Thursday 20th June, Tri Golf Skills at Saunton Sands

Your child will need their school PE kit, a packed lunch and plenty of non-fizzy drinks, a warm waterproof coat or sun cream and a hat depending on the weather. The children will leave and return during the school day.
