2nd May 2017 Winyates News Welcome back to the Summer Term! We have had a super start to this term, with children already excited about their new topic and looking forward to the challenges this term may bring. We were very pleased to see so many parents at the Parent Meetings last week, thank you to all those who attended and for your ongoing support. If you missed the meetings last week, please speak to class teachers, they will be very happy to arrange an alternative meeting after school this week or next. We are very proud of Grace Pinhorn, in Year 2, who passed the Times Table Challenge 10 last week! What an achievement –this is the level that Year 6s usually work hard to pass. Grace is the youngest child ever at Winyates to pass this at only 7 years old! Well done Grace –keep up the hard work!
