Denaby Main Primary Academy Astrea Academy Trust
Good morning everyone,
Yesterday I was visited by Evie and Louie who have been reading at home and reached the 10th milestone on our reading challenge- well done to you both.
Our Year 1 pupils have been working with Mrs Fletcher on the phonic screen. They have all tried their very best. Results will be recorded on your child’s end of year report. These will be sent out on July 22nd.
We will be holding a summer fair at 2pm on July 21st. We would like to organise a raffle so if you have any unwanted gifts that you are able to donate that would be fantastic. Please drop off at the school office. Thank you.
Have a good day.
Mrs Mason
We are aiming to have as broad a curriculum as possible for your children. To help with this this week we are launching our curriculum enrichment activities. These will take place each Friday.
Reception/ Nursery- Cake decorating
Year 1- Multi sports
Year 2- Gardening
Year 3- Yoga and Sumba
Year 4- Learning Dutch
Year 5 Weaving
Year 6- Learning to play Chess
Don’t forget you can wear your PE Kit on PE days.
We have been encouraging all children to wear the correct PE kit over the next few weeks.
- Child to have a verbal warning the first time it is forgotten.
- A text will be sent home on the second time it is forgotten.
- A phone call home will happen on the third occasion (or speak to parents when they collect their child).
Please remember that children should not be wearing jewellery other than a watch and stud earrings. For PE these should be removed however if this is not possible we will supply the children with some tape to cover them up. This is for health and safety reasons.
PE Kit
White t shirt
Black shorts or plain jogging trousers (in case we go outdoors)
School jumper/ cardigan ( in case we go outdoors)
Trainers/ plimsolls

We have a number of children coming to school wearing jewellery. Can I reminded you that the only jewellery children should be wearing is a watch and small earrings if ears are pierced. Thank you.

- Enjoy new experiences, in new places and want to keep exploring
- Believe they have a broader range of essential skills
- Feel empowered to make positive choices about their future
- See learning that is fun, aspirational and lifelong

This resource is designed for use with children aged 9-11 in primary schools and aims to highlight the warning signs of grooming in an age-appropriate way. We might need to think about using a younger age group also, possibly Year 4.
