New Monument Primary School
Weekly Update
Dear Parents and Carers,
What a fantastic week we have had!
Our Sports Day was a tremendous success. It was wonderful to see such incredible team spirit from both pupils and parents, with everyone giving their very best and supporting one another throughout the day. A huge thank you to all the families who came along to cheer the children on and who also supported our School Fair afterwards. The atmosphere was amazing, and it was a real reminder of what a strong, caring and united school community we are fortunate to be part of.
Our Induction Day was also a great success, and it was lovely to welcome several new members of staff who joined us for the day. The children enjoyed meeting their new teachers and spending time in their new classrooms, helping them feel excited and confident about the year ahead.
As part of our school’s ongoing development, we are creating some woodland-themed wall art throughout our corridors. To complement this theme, each class will now have a woodland-inspired name voted by parents, pupils and staff:
2-Year-Olds – Caterpillars
3-Year-Olds – Butterflies
Reception – Bumblebees
Year 1 – Rabbits
Year 2 – Owls
Year 3 – Ladybirds
Year 4 – Dragonflies
Year 5 – Squirrels
Year 6 – Hedgehogs
Our relationship with BDB remains incredibly important to us, as it is our closest local school. I recently attended a meeting for families whose children will be joining BDB in September and was delighted to hear such positive feedback. Following their induction day, the children spoke enthusiastically about the activities they had taken part in and were pleased to have already made new friends. Our current Year 5 pupils also enjoyed an early induction visit, which gave them an insight into secondary school before they start preparing to go themselves.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
With very best wises
Karen Barham
