Dear Parents and Carers,

Thank you to everyone who made it to Parents Evening this week; it is sovaluable for us to meet you to build our understanding of what we can do for your child. If you were unable to attend, please get in touch so we can arrange to meet another time. Thanks to our teachers too - it's hard work to keep talking sense for a solid 11hrs in a day!

Chinese Visitors

As an accredited 'International Award' school, we already have strong links with schools in Japan, Malawi and France. Thanks to our partnership with Reepham High, this week we have also worked with teachers and students from China! The group camefor a tour and then spent time with our Yr5 and Yr2 classes, and as of next week, at least one of our classes will be learning to speak Mandarin!

Coats and Jumpers

Now the weather has turned chillier, please make sure your child comes to school with something warm to wear - it's usually those in KS2 who are more likely to forget.

Kind regards

Catherine Ogle

Head of School

GET CREATIVE - design your own Christmas cards!

Deadline for artwork submission: Tuesday 1st November

Yes, believe it or not, it's that time of year again. Today, your child will bring home a Christmas card order form. All you need to do is find time for them to create festive artwork on an A5 or A4 piece of card or paper (the form includes artwork guidelines tips on what materials work best). Once finished, attach it to the form, complete the necessary details and hand it back into the school office or their class teacher by Tuesday 1st November. Please include payment, either in the form of cash or a cheque made payable to Reepham Primary School. Not only do family members (especially grandparents) love receiving a card designed by your little one, but also for every pack of cards purchased we will raise £1 for the school. So please get drawing and ordering soon! Thank you.
