Mathletics
Please be aware that there will be no
Mathletics Club next week, owing to a
change of day for staff meeting.
Harvest Assembly
At 9.15am on Tuesday next week, we will be
holding our annual harvest celebration. In the
past we have asked for food donations for the
local church/foodbank. However, this year, we
are asking for monetary donations which we
will send to support the on-going refugee crisis
in Syria. Parents/carers will be welcome to
attend the assembly.
Child’s name: ________________________
Attendance –
This year the class who wins the weekly
Attendance Cup the most times will win a
mystery prize in July .
Pupils with 100% attendance will be
included in a raffle to win a £30 gift
voucher!!!
You have to be in to win!!
Also, on Friday afternoon, some of our pupils
will be visiting St. Nicholas’ Church to
experience a ‘Harvest Extravaganza’. I am sure
that they will enjoy the event.
Family Learning
Thank you to all the parents that attended our
Early Years Letters & Sounds session this week.
There will be another Early Years session next
Wednesday – this time on supporting your
child with Maths. The Behaviour sessions
continues on Thursday next week.
Uniform
Just a quick reminder that children need to be
dressed in the correct uniform, labelled with
your child’s name. Uniforms can be ordered
through the school office. Orders go in to the
uniform company at the end of each month.
Wishing you a pleasant weekend
