Newsletter Autumn Term ~ 5

Dear Parents/carers

The children have made a fantastic start back this term and I have already seen good progress in their learning.

There are so many exciting things happening this term. Please make sure we have your up to date mobile number so you don’t miss out on any important text messages.

A BIG THANK YOU for your amazing support at Parents evening last week. As you can see from the table below nearly everyone was able to come and support their children’s learning.

Children who were elected as Librarians and School Council received their badges in celebration assembly.

Year 3 made a Stone Age dessert

using ingredients that could be foraged.

Meet our Play leaders

They are on our playground

everyday to help our children

to learn and play games.

Friendship Friday was a great success. Children played a big game of stuck in the mud with the teachers at playtime

and we raised £116 for the charity Kidscape.

Thank you.

Attendance

Whole school target 96% (highlighted hit the target)

We are so excited to see so many children in school on time. The more time your child spends in school the better their learning will be.

Well done to Reception, Years 1, 3, 4 and 6 for over 96%. That is a record with only two classes falling below the expected percentage. Please keep up the good work.

The children will also receive attendance badges at the end of the whole term if they have achieved outstanding attendance (over 98%).
