Newsletter 11 Spring Term 2022

Queen's Jubilee Bank Holiday.
Due to the extra bank holiday for the Queen's Jubilee falling within the May half term break, all schools have been granted an extra day's holiday in this academic year. South Tawton Primary School will be therefore not be open to pupils on Monday 6th June.

It has been a sunny and happy week at South Tawton Primary School. For the first time in many months, we have had no pupils off with Covid and attendance figures have been fantastic. Sadly, Mrs Bond wasn't so lucky and had a positive test on Friday; we wish her all the best for a speedy recovery. 

The weather has been beautiful and many lessons were taken outside in the Spring sunshine. We have had our first lunch break and assembly of the year on the field, and everyone seemed to enjoy the additional space and fresh air. I'm not sure that we'll be quite as lucky with the weather next week, but it's been lovely to have a taste of summer.

Please see the letter below from music teacher, Tor Loram, who played for the children in assembly on Thursday. You can scroll down to view the letter for details of the lessons she is offering, or view it here.

Children's Cricket Training

The ECB are providing training sessions for 5 - 8 year olds (All Stars) and 8-11 year olds (Dynamos) this summer at Belstone Cricket Club on Friday evenings

What is All Stars Cricket?
All Stars Cricket provides a fantastic first experience for all children aged 5-8 years old where they’re guaranteed 8 weeks of jam-packed fun, activity and skills development. The programme is designed to introduce children to the sport, teaching them new skills, helping them make new friends and have a great time doing so.
Every child that registers will receive a backpack full of goodies. Your child’s pack will include:

• Backpack
• Cricket bat
• Cricket ball
• Personalised t-shirt with your child’s name

All children returning to All Stars will receive a kit bag, a set of stumps, a new ball and a personalised t-shirt.

What is Dynamos Cricket?
Complementing junior cricket, Dynamos provides children with a more social offer focused on developing fundamental movement skills and applying them in an exciting game of countdown cricket. 
We know how important it is to look like the heroes of the game, so every child who registers will receive their very own personalised Dynamos New Balance T Shirt.
