PRIVILEGE DAY

The children have worked really hard this term and achieved their target of 150 Privilege Cards!
The School Council met and we have put together an exciting reward day on Tuesday 23rd July. 

Children can come to school dressed as their favourite movie, TV, rock star or book character. 
We will have a special assembly celebrating their achievements throughout the year. 
Following this we will shoot our brand-new reading video (which will be amazing with everyone dressed up). 
We will then have a whole school zumba session as part of the video shoot.
Children can also come to school with their favourite soft toy.
In the afternoon classes will each have their own party to close out the day. 

It’s going to be an amazing final celebration of their sensational behaviour this term and we are very proud of each of them for their effort this year. 

SOFT ENDING AT ANSON

On Wednesday 24th July we will have our usual soft ending to the term. The school day will end at 3:30pm and parents should collect their children as normal. 
However, parents are then welcome to remain on the playground for a little while. 
We find that having a soft ending is a wonderful way for the community to come together. In the past it has provided an opportunity for some of the children, who are emotional about leaving the school or who will miss their friends, calm down before heading home. It also gives parents the chance to come together one last time. 
Many of them make final plans for the summer, discuss vacations and enjoy a drink and a snack with Friends of Anson. We then wish you a very happy summer holiday. It has been another amazing year at Anson. May I take this opportunity to thank you for your support throughout the year. As a community we really do have a wonderful little school. 

The last day of term is Wednesday 24th July.

Please remember children should be in school each day of the academic year. 

Children return to school on Wednesday 4th September. Please ensure you are ready for the first day of term.
