No Pens day Wednesday 15th October No Pens Day encourages all schools to put down their pens and pick up their language by spending one day focusing on learning through speaking and listening. We believe that of all the skills we develop at school, the ability to communicate effectively is one that has the most profound and potentially positive impact on our lives. The Halloween Disco will take place on Thursday 23rd October Foundation Stage 2 and Key Stage 1: 4.00pm – 5.00 pm Key Stage 2: 5.15 pm – 6.15 pm Half-term holiday Pupils leave school on Thursday the 23rd October and return on Monday 3th November at 8.45 am. Attendance Can I remind you that The Governors of Adelaide Primary School can no longer authorise a pupil’s absence from school. If you take a holiday during term-time you will be fined! The Government, Local Authority and school are determined to improve attendance at Adelaide Primary School and I know that all parents will support the school in this matter. Thank you for your continued support. Your suggestions on how to improve the school are much appreciated.
