Posted by newsletter in Uncategorized. trackbackDear parents and friends
Happy New Year to you all!
I trust that everyone has had a good Christmas and New Year and we look forward to an exciting new term.
We were very fortunate and extremely grateful for all the ‘goodies’ that the Airport staff provided for our children which came home in the rucksacks.
Healthy Schools Award
In December 2007 we had our Healthy Schools assessment and were pleased to be informed that we achieved the Silver standard. Healthy eating and physical activity were the key areas and we are proud of our achievements - Well done Mrs Deacon-Rock for all your hard work!
Indoor shoes
Many thanks to all the parents and carers that have continued to support us in keeping our new building in such good order by providing children with pumps to wear indoors. The manager at the local Asda store ensures me that pumps are on sale for approximately £1.99. Please can we ALL continue to change our shoes.
Sharing your child’s work
This term, instead of class assemblies each week, we are going to invite you to come into your child’s class at 9.00 am. This will give you an opportunity to share with your child the progress in their books. You will be sent a letter of invite the week before your visit.
Topics for this half term
Below you will find the topics to be covered this half term and the homework expectations. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to you child’s class teacher.
