School Mascot

This is our last newsletter this term. I hope

that you all have an enjoyable break and that

the weather remains as good as it is now. We

all wish our year 6 children and those in other

year groups who are leaving us well in their

new schools.

Sadly we say goodbye to Mrs Wright, Mrs Darker,

Miss Clarke, Mrs Daffeh, Mrs Greenhalgh.

Foodbank Donations

A huge thank you for your kind

donations to the Agape Foodbank

on Friday. As you can see, you were

hugely generous and the volunteers

at Spalding Foodbank were very

grateful for our donations. We look

forward to supporting this amazing

charity again next year.

Thank you to those who participated and

donated to the NSPCC non-uniform day. We

managed to raise £280 for the charity.

Green Flag Award

A BIG well done to Mrs Baker and

her ECO Warriors for retaining

the Green Flag status. Both Mrs

Baker and the warriors have

worked extremely hard to retain this.

The year 6 children challenged the staff on

Tuesday to the annual rounders match. This

year, the staff were victors by winning 8-7.5 !

We are aware that as we are so close to the

end of term, some children have been wearing

trainers as they have grown out of their school

shoes. However, please be reminded, children

are to wear black school shoes and not trainers

when we come back to school in September.

Headlice

Please can you take the summer break as a good

opportunity to check your child’s hair for headlice.

Well done to all the children who en-

tered Monkshouse Has Got Talent. We

had singing, violin and diablo acts all of a

very high standard! The overall winner was Diana Dourado (Y6)

singing Skyfall, second place was Martyna Kuziemkowska (Y1)

playing Twinkle, Twinkle on the violin and third place was Lewis

Burton (Y4) & Brendan Atkin (Y4) on the diablos.

The school council held a competition to

design a suitable mascot for the school.

The winning entry chosen by Mrs Good-

sell was Nina’s ‘Monkshouse Wise Owl’.

Mrs Baker very kindly made the design

up for us and the owl will now be proudly

appearing at all our sporting and other

school events.

Year 1

As part of our Topic Super-

heroes, the year 1 children

were lucky enough to meet

real-life Superheroes at

Spalding Fire Station. The

children were very enthusias-

tic about the fire engine and

its equipment and a highlight for them came when

they were able to take turns using the hose. Thank

you to all the staff who came along and a special

thank you to the fire crew.

Year 2

On Thursday Year 2 were

buzzing with excitement as

they had fun learning all about

bees to conclude their

minibeast topic. The day

started with visit from Mr Dunham (Alfie’s

neighbour) who is a local beekeeper! Mr

Dunham shared

lots of infor-

mation with us

and answered

lots of our amazing questions. Then we

spent the remainder of the morning

completing learning ac-

tivities about bees and

making honey flapjack.

During the afternoon we then enjoyed watching the

Bee movie as our cinema treat.

The children attended the 1st ever Change

4 Life Festival held at Spalding High

School, where they took part in a range of

exciting activities. Our leaders were even

awarded t-shirts for the ‘best game’ of

the day! Very impressed guys! Some fan-

tastic leaders for the future!

Year 5

The year 5 children in Mr Roberts’ class have

designed their own Maths games to play with the

class! Some amazing ideas on display here with a

range of mathematical skills being tested!

Year 6

This year’s leaver’s play was called ‘An Inspector

Calls’ and told the story of the dreaded visit by

the school inspectors to Monkshouse School. The

children worked incredibly hard to put on a fan-

tastic performance – we were amazed at how

quickly everyone learned their lines this year!

The acting and singing was all fantastic and we

were very proud of the year 6 children. By the

end of each performance there was

hardly a dry eye in the house. We would also like to

thank the members of staff who were good sports

about being included in the play.
