I just wanted to thank all those parents/carers who supported our coffee afternoon last Thursday, by either making or sending in cakes and/or turning up at school to help to eat them. It was a great afternoon and we managed to raise just over £120, so a very big thank you to one and all.

We are still seeing

parents using their

phones on the

playground, and even

within the school

building. Staff will

approach you and ask

you to put your phones

away.

Headlice…

Once a week

Take a peek

Due to very limited interest, Mrs Ives is no longer holding Story Time on a Wednesday.

Calling all Parents with children in

Reception and Year 1.

Mr Smith and Miss Gray will be giving a

phonics (sounds) demonstration on

Wednesday 10th October, from 2:30pm.

We would love you to come along and

learn how to help your child with their

reading. Look forward to seeing you.

99 is the most children we have ever had

‘On Gold’! Do you think we can reach 100?

Did you know… We give an award on a Friday to the child who has demonstrated our school value well during the week?

October is here already! How did the

first month of the school year pass by

so quickly? I am amazed every day by

the incredible learning, actions and

words I see at school by the lovely

young people. I was thanked by a

Reception child last week for helping

them learn. Another child said how

much they enjoy their learning and

were never bored in class. What does

your child say to you about school?

What lessons do they really enjoy? Do

they know what job they would like

when they are older?

Happy Birthday to:

Felix (8) Aaliyah (7)

Author James Campbell

came in to share his love

of writing with the

children. Many children

were inspired by his story.

Please note that we are due

an OFSTED visit this term.

A visit from Logan—a Hearing Assistance Dog for the Deaf.

Veronica brought Logan to school and talked about the ways he helps her with her life. He will alert her to when there is a knock at the door, when there is a danger, and also as a companion. Hopefully Logan and Veronica will visit us again.

30 children went out to play football.

They all proudly played for our school

teams. The Key Stage 1 team came

back with winners medals, the other

two teams showed amazing skill and

good sportsmanship! Well done.

Please do remember that class teachers are the first port of call with issues regarding your child. They can be seen, by prior arrangements, at a mutually convenient time.

If you would like to come in and talk to a member of the Senior Leadership Team please ask the office staff to book you a time. Please note, it is also possible to ask for a telephone discussion if this is more convenient.
