Dear Parents and Carers, It has come to my attention that some children within our school are being affected by games and videos that they are playing online. The Worldwide Web is a wonderful source of fun, inspiration and information but we should all be aware of the pitfalls, and unfiltered or unrestricted access are certainly the biggest problem causers we encoun-ter. Please observe age restrictions (they are there to help) and encourage your child to be safe and enjoy their online world. There is plenty more help and advice signposted on our website here: https://www.milvertonprimary.co.uk/Parents/Online-Safety-Information-for-Parents Mr R Stead

Tuesday 12th June CLASS 1

To complete their Arts Award 'Explore', Class 3 invited Class 2 to attend a wonderful child-led workshop event on the final Friday of half term, in order to share their art learning this year. Arts Award provides children and young people with the oppor-tunity to take part in a range of arts activities, learn about artists and arts organisations and develop their own leadership skills. Class 3 were very keen to share their work and demonstrated their excellent depth of learning with a range of hands-on art activities. It was fantastic to see how engaged Class 3 were in organising themselves and taking pride in what they have achieved over the year. The workshop also provided a love-ly first step to managing the transition from KS1 to KS2. You made me very proud, Class 3! Mrs Smith

On Thursday 7th June, a very talented mixed Years 3 and 4 team represented Milverton at Quadkids, an athletics competition at Castle School. The team consisted of; Freya S, Tilly, Betsy, Isabelle, Anthony, Tristan, Jago and Ashton. The children each competed in 5 events, organising themselves well, showing great sportsmanship and competing with determination and enthusiasm. I am really proud of all of the children and would like to congratulate them all on their fantastic performances, energising team spirit and display-ing exemplary behaviour. All of the children should feel a great sense of achievement as they finished in an outstanding 5th place out of 22 schools! Well done to you all and thank you to the parents for supporting and transporting the children. Miss Brown

Pond dipping was great fun, we found lots of pond insects, pond snails, hundreds of tadpoles and some newts.

Throughout the morning there were

lots of other activities to take part in

including the mud kitchen, shelter

building, balancing tasks and making

elderflower cordial.

Spot the newt!

Some children were so kind that

they could add a helping heart on

to the friendship branch

We are looking forward to

sampling our elderflower

cordial later in the week!
