End of the School Year 2020

Dear Parents and Carers 

…..and so it comes to an end. This extraordinary year at Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School. What a year it has been!

Following what I do hope will be a lovely summer holiday for you all we will begin the new term with a new normal. We will take your children on from where they are socially, emotionally and academically and as with every other child in the country we will begin to rebuild their learning alongside processing their ‘lock-down experiences’

We are all so excited that the whole school will be together but there will be a number of changes which we will try to guide you through in September.

In the meantime I wish you all a happy summer holiday hopefully catching up with family and friends whilst staying safe.

With kindest regards

Mrs H Picton

Headteacher

School opens to pupils on 3 September 2020. Staff non-pupil days are on 1 & 2 September.

Year 6 Leaver's Celebration Picnic

As the time arrives for us to say 'goodbye' to our Year 6 children, we are so grateful to be able to be together to celebrate the end of their Primary school years on our wonderful school field. 

Our usual venue of St Michael's Church sadly could not be used, and the need to spread the children out for social distancing hopefully didn't detract too much from the special reason they were all together.

A picnic, some craft activities, poems, stories and messages all interwoven to combine memories of their time spent in our school.  Parents joined for the last part of the afternoon as gifts and prizes were handed out to the children.

A final goodbye today too, to Mrs Akerman our wonderful Year 6 teacher and SENDco who retires today after many years at Sir Robert Hitcham's.  She will really be missed by all the staff here.

We'd like to wish all our Year 6 children a really fun summer holiday and a happy and successful start at their High School in September.

Reception Summer Picnic

Another cloudy sky and some damp grass didn't detract from the fun our Reception children had at yesterday's lunchtime picnic. 

It was so lovely for the teachers to see the children again, such a special experience for everyone to enjoy - singing songs, readings stories, making bookmarks and catching up with friends.

What a lovely time everyone had!

Year 1 & 2 Summer Picnic

A cloudy sky didn't detract from the sunny smiles on the faces of our Year 1 and 2 children at today's lunchtime picnic. They were all delighted to get back together with their friends and the teaching teams.

Some of the teachers from next year's Year 3 classes, also came along to say hello to the Year 2 children who will be in their classes in September.

Mrs Doy, our lovely KS1 Teaching Assistant who is retiring, joined us at the picnic so that everyone could say their goodbyes and wish her well as they gave her cards, flowers and gifts.

What a lovely time everyone had.

Year 5 Summer Picnic

Although the ground was a bit damp it didn't detract from the enjoyment of our Year 5 children as they met up on the field for a socially distanced get-together this morning.

The children all had a lovely catch up with each other and the teaching staff, the only sad bit of the day was saying goodbye to Mrs Trott who leaves us this term, but the children all gave her a big send off as she was presented with her card, flowers and gift from the school.

Year 3 & 4 Class Summer Picnic

We were so lucky with the weather today for the picnics for Mrs Cann's class, Mrs Webster's class and Mrs Venton & Mrs Ambrose's class.

It was so nice for the teachers and children to get together to catch up (socially distanced of course) for one last time before the summer on our wonderful school field.  

We are looking forward to the Year 5 picnic on Tuesday morning, the Year 1 & 2 picnic on Tuesday lunchtime, the Reception picnic on Wednesday lunchtime and finishing with the Year 6 Leavers Celebration Picnic on Friday.
