The Summer Holidays Are Here! We hope all of our Sunnyside families have a fantastic summer break! If you're looking for ways to keep your little ones busy over the holidays, please see the information below about local summer holiday clubs, activities and events available throughout the break. There's something for everyone, so hopefully you'll find plenty of opportunities for fun, adventure and making special memories this summer! Have a wonderful holiday and we look forward to seeing you all in September!

Summer Adventures Alert! All children are coming home with their Acorn Pass today! A huge thank you to the National Trust for providing these fantastic family passes, giving our families the chance to enjoy some amazing outdoor adventures together this summer! For more information about how to use your pass, please visit: https://www.getoxfordshireactive.org/the-national-trust We'd love to see where your summer adventures take you!

Our wonderful Caterpillars are waving goodbye to nursery today as they get ready for their next big adventure! We are so incredibly proud of each and every one of you and all that you've achieved this year. It has been a joy to watch you learn, grow, and make so many special memories. We wish you all a fantastic summer filled with fun, laughter, and adventure before you start big school in September – we know you'll all be amazing!

Today we said goodbye to our wonderful Year 2s! What an incredible year group you have been! We are so proud of everything you have achieved, the friendships you have made, and the memories we have shared together. As you get ready for your next adventure, we know you will continue to shine brightly and make us proud. Good luck, Year 2 – we will miss you all so much! Just ONE more get-up! Don't forget it's non-uniform tomorrow as we celebrate the last day of term together!

A trip down memory lane... We've been digging through the photo archives and found three staff photos from across the years at Newhall Infants... and what a difference time makes! One thing is very clear – our Newhall family has grown so much over the years! (Although, in our most recent photo, a few members of staff were unfortunately missing, so it's not quite the full team!) Now for the fun part... Can you spot any familiar faces? Can you work out which members of staff appear in all three photos? And who do you think has changed the most over the years? (We'll let you decide!)

Today we celebrated our amazing Mrs Teale! With just a few days left as our wonderful Butterflies teacher, we wanted to give her a very special send-off! Mrs Teale was spoiled with handmade cards , beautiful flowers , gift vouchers and even some fizz . We loved hearing all the lovely memories shared by Mrs Leatherbarrow, including special messages from Butterflies past and present and our Year 2 children did a fantastic job singing "This Is Our School" We're going to miss you so much, Mrs Teale, but we know you'll be fantastic in your new school! Thank you for everything you've done for our children and for being such a special part of the Sunnyside family. Good luck from all of us! #SuperSunnyside

And the summer treats don't stop there! Today was our fabulous cake sale! A huge thank you to all our parents for your very kind donations. Sunnyside has the best bakers around! We still have quite a few cakes left, so we'll be selling them again tomorrow morning at 9am in the school hall. Please come along and take a look – there are plenty of tasty treats still waiting to be enjoyed! Thank you again for your continued support. We couldn't do it without you! #SuperSunnyside

Wow, what a day our long-awaited Sunnyside-on-Sea was! The children had the best day ever "better than soft play!" according to Roman We love creating those core childhood experiences and special memories that will stay with our children for years to come. Beach days really are some of the very best memories! For anyone disappointed that the ice cream van was unable to stay after school yesterday, don't worry another ice cream van will be visiting us on Monday! What a fantastic day of sunshine, smiles, and seaside fun! #SuperSunnyside
