Dear Parents

Thank you to all the parents who were able to attend this week's 'Showcase Assemblies' in Reception class, Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3. Once again it was so impressive to see the children's confidence in speaking, the quality of their work and the obvious enjoyment they have had whilst learning. Well done everyone!

Thanks also go to all those parents who accompanied us on our whole school trip to Cotswold Wildlife Park today. There are not many schools who attempt the logistical exercise involved in taking nearly 200 children on a school trip but it couldn't be achieved without the support of so many parents. We had a brilliant day at the park and were blessed with beautiful weather. Thank you all: it is a privilege to spend time with your children who are always polite and well behaved whilst also showing great enthusiasm. Particular thanks go to Mrs Edwards and Mrs Purcell for all the organisation that goes on behind the scenes.

The last of our CTA sports competitions was held last Friday night in the form of our annual swimming gala. Children from across Key Stage 2 competed against children from all the other Catholic primary schools in Worcestershire with some very creditable performances from our children. As ever, our children tried their very best and got through to the final stages of many of the races. As a school we are very proud of the way our children compete at these competitions as they always try their hardest and show great sportsmanship and this year we have had some great successes. Well done to everyone who has represented St Wulstan's this year - we are very proud of all of you!

On Monday 16 July we will be holding our annual Sports Day. For those of you who are planning to come along, we hope to start around 9:30am up on the field. Please wait in the playground until staff have completed setting up on the field and follow the path around the back of Lickhill school. If it is very sunny we will use the gazebos to provide shade for the children but please ensure that they come to school with sun cream having been applied and sunhats ready, and as always their water bottles. Can I ask parents not to come across the track to the children during the activities. Mr Tasker has asked me to request some helpers to give out race position cards. Could you please make yourselves known to him before Sports Day morning if you would like help? Thank you. We look forward to an exciting morning, competing as the houses of St Teresa, St Bernadette, St Francis and St Joseph. To bring our academic year to a close, Fr Richard will be joining us to celebrate our Leavers' Mass on Friday 20 July at 9:15am. Parents of children in Year 6 are obviously most welcome to attend and we look forward to seeing as many of you then. Please stay for refreshments afterwards.

Fr Richard has asked us to remind families of the parish barbeque on Sunday 15th July after Mass, which will be a Family Mass starting at 11:00am (not 10:00 am). Entrance tickets are now on sale: £5.00 adults, £2.50 children and families £15.00. As last year, they will have TVs set up in the garage for those who wish to watch Wimbledon or the World Cup. It should be a lovely event so please try to come along and show your support.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
