Tickets are now available for this year's Y6 production!
Performances will be on Tuesday 8th July at 1.30pm and Wednesday 9th July at 5pm. Due to the smaller year 6 cohort this year, we are able to allow 3 tickets per performance, per child to keep within a set capacity for our hall, this is in order to comply with fire safety regulations. We are limiting the numbers so that every family has the chance to see their child without tickets selling out. If we have any spare tickets, we will let you know the day before each performance. We are charging £3 per ticket to help towards our costs, this includes the licence fee and music for the play, the sound and lighting equipment and buying new costumes. Tickets are available through your child's School Money account; you will find 6 separate payments, one for each of the available tickets for you. Please only pay for the tickets you wish to purchase, tickets will be sent out next week. Please note, we are asking parents not to bring children under 5 years old to the Wednesday evening performance. As always, please speak to the school if you are having any issues logging on to your School Money account or are struggling with the cost of the tickets or have any queries about the price, we are always here to help in any way possible. Bucks Mental Health Support Team have created a very short parent questionnaire to give feedback on our school's approach to providing information on the mental health and wellbeing of your child. Please click on the image below if you would like to submit your view.
Dear Parents/Guardians of Year 6,
Sex and Relationship Education As part of the school’s Personal, Social and Health Education programme your child will soon receive lessons on relationships and puberty. The purpose of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) is to provide knowledge and understanding of how the human body changes during puberty and about relationships based on love and respect. If young people can start their transition into adulthood with good information and the confidence and knowledge to understand what is happening to them, they will hopefully grow into confident and healthy adults able to make positive choices. This can start with learning the basics about growing up and the sessions in school may reinforce what you are already doing at home. The children will be taught in their normal classes; the SRE programme includes resources from Jigsaw and Medway Council in addition to watching a series of ‘Class Clips’ from BBC Teach and input from the class teachers. All teaching materials are appropriate to the age and emotional maturity of the pupils concerned and the teachers will aim to present the programme in an objective, balanced and sensitive manner. The clips can be viewed here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/pshe-ks2-operation-ouch-how-are-babies-made-sex/zsxtp4j The programme will cover: · Lesson 1: Physical and emotional changes that occurring during puberty. · Lesson 2: Understand how a baby is made - Sexual Intercourse · Lesson 3: Healthy Relationships · Lesson 4: Consent · Lesson 5: Appropriate and inappropriate touch · Lesson 6: Real self and ideal self-image Parents can withdraw their children from lessons 1 and 2 of the Sex and Relationship Education because these do not form part of the statutory National Curriculum. If you wish to withdraw your child from lesson 1 and 2 of the school’s Sex and Relationship Education programme, please email the office before the programme starts [email protected]. Class teachers in Year 6 will begin the programme w/c Monday 30th June 2025. Yours sincerely, Mrs Bowden / Mrs Short Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am writing to inform you of an upcoming class trip that will provide your child with the opportunity to explore the local town for their Humanities project. The trip is scheduled for Thursday, 5th June 2025 and will inform their subsequent lesson. The main objective of the trip is to enable students to observe the buildings and structures in Iver, and we will be walking as a class to the local church, before we then walk back to school. We will pause at any sites that may be of interest and record any details we spot as we go. This trip will take place within their normal Humanities lesson; therefore, they will not be expected to be in school any earlier than usual. In order to ensure that the trip runs smoothly, please ensure that your child wears full and correct uniform and appropriate footwear for a short walk through town. Please confirm (via email or return the permission slip sent home with the children as a paper copy) that you are happy for your child to participate in this trip. Should you have any questions or concerns about the trip, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please hand in the slip by 3rd June 2025. Yours sincerely, Miss Fletcher and Mrs Wick Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are writing to inform you of an upcoming Year 5 trip that will provide your child with the opportunity to visit Science Oxford as part of the science curriculum. This trip is scheduled for Friday 23rd May 2025. The main objective of the trip is to explore different working scientifically skills through workshops and different activities, which will support the children’s learning of science at school and deepen their knowledge and understanding. The activities will be led by staff at Science Oxford, assisted by IVJS staff. Pupils will need to arrive at school by 8:15am and they will travel to Science Oxford by coach. They will leave Science Oxford at 2:15pm and should be back at school for collection at 3:15pm. The children will be wearing their school uniform and will need to bring a packed lunch. Please be aware the children will be required to walk for 5-10 minutes from where the coach will drop us off to the Science Centre and may need a coat depending on the weather. We are thrilled to be able to offer this trip to all Year 5 pupils and are in the fortunate position that Science Oxford will be covering the cost of our visit, which we are very grateful for. Therefore, our only cost is the coach. The cost of the coach is approximately £10 per child, if you can contribute towards our travel costs, you can do so via school money and we would be very grateful. Please confirm whether you would be happy for your child to participate in this trip by either completing the paper copy of the slip sent home with the pupils or emailing [email protected]. Should you have any questions or concerns about the trip, please do not hesitate to contact the Year 5 team. Yours sincerely, Miss Fletcher and Ms Wick Dear Parents/Guardians,
