Dear Parents/Carers, The first week back at school has flown by and the children, as always, have really impressed us all with their hard work and super manners around school. Whenever we go on school visits, the staff at the places we visit always comment on how well behaved and respectful our children are. I feel extremely proud of this, and I am sure you do too.
I’d like to remind you that in the next few weeks, we have scheduled Open Doors and Parents Evenings. These are crucial opportunities for you to find out more about your children’s learning and progress. The children have so much to share and celebrate, and it would be great to see as many of you as possible at both of these events. Separate letters have already been issued for these.
This year, I’m really keen to use Open Doors as an opportunity to meet with you myself, to hear your thoughts and ideas about school. I’m eager to know what you think we do well, but also interested to hear things you feel we can improve on. So, on both Open Doors days (Tuesday 11th March for KS2 & Wednesday 12th March for KS1), you are invited to join me in the school hall for refreshments, and the chance to share your ideas. These sessions will start from 2:15pm, and will be very informal. I will also be joined by other members of staff, as well as some children, who will serve the refreshments etc. We will then escort you down to the children’s classrooms to share in their learning.
I know how much you have appreciated the additional clubs that we are now running for your children after school. This half-term’s clubs are:
Year 1/2 – Art Club – Miss Evans
Year 1/2 – Film Club – Mr Donkin
Year 3/4 – Multi games Club – Mr Wilson
Year 5/6 – Tag Rugby – Mr Hinde
Further information about these clubs is detailed in an additional letter that you will receive.
We are also building up to World Book Day next week (Thursday 6th March), with an amazing day planned for the children. Please get involved in the Extreme Reading Challenge and remember to support the children with their costumes for the day.
I look forward to seeing you all in the coming weeks.
