The final week of primary school!
This week will flow by. We have such a busy week that the children won’t know what’s happened!
Monday 17th-Year 6 Leavers trip to the Par-Athletic championships at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium. The children will need a packed lunch and a coat and won’t be back in school until 4.30pm. This is an amazing opportunity for the children to see some of the greatest athletes of all time compete against other nations.
Wednesday-Leavers Party 6.30-8.30pm. Please bring all kindly donated food to the hall at 3.30pm. Don’t forget, children are asked to wear party clothes rather than jeans and trainers. This is a celebration of all their hard work while attending Howard and is a great opportunity to celebrate with the staff too.
Thursday-Leavers assembly
The children will need to take home ALL PE kit and coats from the cloakroom as well as anything important from their trays.
The school is open on Friday 21st July, so if your child has forgotten anything, please pop in on Friday to collect it or drop anything off.
On Tuesday 4th July, Howard went up against Minister in a Netball Match. Minister had never played before in a netball match but a few children from Howard had done so previously. The tension was building up as Howard’s Coach [Miss Handley] blew the whistle for the first half of the game to begin. There were a few children in Year 6 and a few children in Year 5 in Howard’s team. The players were:
*Lucy [Yr6]
*Aarya [Yr6]
*Safia [Yr6]
*Emmie [Yr5]
*Yasti [Yr5]
*Layla [Yr5]
*Flo [Yr5]
*Adrijana [Yr5]
*Amrina [Yr5]
*Aarushi [Yr5]
Sadly, due to some accidents, Aarushi and Amrina could not play. That left us down to only 8 players but luckily we had a few players who could take their place. As a goal shooter, I thought that we, Howard, played exceptionally well even though we lost by 1 point. For our first game, that is excellent, wouldn’t you agree? The score was 4-3 so therefore, Howard lost. To congratulate the other team, we did three cheers for Minister and also told how well they played. Even though we lost, we got compliments on how we played by the Minister Coach. Even the players on the opposite team said we played very well. What a game it was!
