Term 3 Issue 6
Dear Parents/Carers,
As we approach the end of this academic year, it is vital to recognise how well the
children have adapted to all the changes they have faced this year. We know it has not
been easy but they have coped so brilliantly and we are incredibly proud of them. Thank
you so much for your continued support-it is really appreciated!
WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!
Last week, we completed important assessments to find out how much progress the
children have made and where their gaps in learning are. This information will support us
in identifying intervention groups for the coming year and provide us with an
understanding of the impact of the last 16 months. We are committed to ensuring that
children reach their potential despite the pandemic and we will continue to work hard to
close gaps and help children reach the expected standard and beyond.
In the next couple of weeks, we will say a fond farewell to our fantastic year 6 children as
they move on to their new schools. They had a wonderful day last Monday at
Chessington World of Adventures where they had the chance to celebrate their time at
Byron. We now look forward to their leaving end of term play
We also say thank you and farewell to some staff who are leaving us at the end of term.
Huge thanks to Mrs Lawlor ,Mrs Simmonds and Mrs Wilshaw who have been an amazing
part of our Byron teaching team for too many years to mention. We are very grateful for
their wonderful support for children as well as their invaluable help provided to teaching
staff. Finally, we thank Mrs Hughes (associated with Byron for many years) who returned
to Byron to teach year 3 this year. We wish them all the best in their new ventures from
retirement to new careers and hope that they all stay in touch. We will miss you all!
Despite the mixed bag of weather yesterday, the children enjoyed a carrousel of Sports
Day activities ranging from standing long jump to Javelin throwing. The atmosphere was
amazing and we were so proud to see children trying their personal best and supporting
one another. Due to the field being wet, we have had to postpone the running race
element until next Thursday 15th July where we shall award stickers for participation. We
have included the points score on this newsletter and will add these points to the final
race scores in order to see which house wins overall.
Once again, thank you so much for your continued support. We hope you a lovely
weekend and wish England the best of luck against Italy this Sunday!
Best wishes,
Clare Wingrave (Principal) and James Norris (Deputy Principal)
School Attendance
This week we have achieved 97.8%
Let’s push for 98% next week!
We appreciate that many of our families shall be wanting to watch the
England vs Italy game this Sunday which starts at 8pm. In recognition of
this, we shall be keeping our registers open until 10am. This means that
if your child gets up later and misses their usual time slot, please arrive
any time between 9am and 10am via the school main Office.
Congratulations to Simran for passing her first formal Tae Kwondo (TKD) Grading. She had to attend a seminar run by the Master of her TKD association, and perform her set pattern and demonstrate fundamental movements on command. She also had to learn and pass the theory test based on the philosophy and history of TKD. Well done Simran!
Over the last couple of weeks,
we have been tasting carrots
and peas. Most of us preferred
carrots!
Why not have a go at
making carrot and
lentil soup?

Last Monday, year 6 travelled to Chessington

flying through the air like bats on the Vampire
ride, spinning and twisting on Dragon’s Fury and
creating a splash on Tiger Rock! They were
extremely well behaved and were a credit to our
school!

Oasis Academy Byron Pupils Learn
CPR and Defibrillation
Today, all of our children from year 2 to year 6 took part in a first aid course
to teach them life saving skills and defibrillation. The course is kept at a
basic level with no use of confusing terminologies. Every child was awarded
a certificate for participation. Great Job Byron!
As a school we are very fortunate to have a defibrillator on site.
