Dear Parents/Carers,
We all want children to be better readers and there is something you can do at home to make this happen; turn on the subtitles. It doesn't matter what age your child is, through this they read words, spell words and use words better - remember you need to see a word 100 times before it is in your memory forever. You can do this by turning on the subtitles in your setting of your TV. Here's a great link to inspire you: https://turnonthesubtitles.org/parents/
One small change can help every child to read better.
Kind regards

Dear Parents/Carers,
As you know next week is the residential for the Year 5 and 6 children who are booked to attend. For those not going to Residential we have a fun packed 3 day programme for them at school. Tomorrow the children will be meeting together to find out about all the different activities they will be enjoying as they come off school timetable and combine together. The children will need to wear PE kits for the 3 days, that is Wednesday to Friday of next week. All children are expected to attend school.
Kind regards,

Dear Parents/Carers,
As advertised on 15.2.24, it is Red Nose Day this Friday, 15th March. This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to get involved in work of this charity. If you want to find out more about it all, follow the link.
We will be enjoying the day with our own events in school and:
1. On the day children can wear red clothing (not costumes) or not, as much or as little as they like. It is not a mufti day, for wearing any clothes, they swap any part of their uniform for a red item. If your child is having PE on Friday, then the swapped items must be suitable for wearing for PE.
2. We will not be selling merchandise as this goes against our Eco and World caring values of reducing waste, you can purchase through other outlets and the children can bring those to school. We want to be supportive of the charity so we will be having a red nose painting station at school during breaktimes on the day for the children to enjoy, we will be using face paints to paint a nose - costs nothing and produces no waste.
3. If you wish to make a donation to the charity you can do so directly on the charity's website or through Scopay on your child's account.
Kind regards,
Mrs Curtis

Dear Families,
Tomorrow we will be celebrating World Book Day! As a reminder, we will not be dressing up this year. Instead, we ask that all children bring in their favourite book which we will use as a stimulus for reading activities across the day. The children in Year 1-6 will be moving around the school to enjoy a day of Art, Computing, Geography, French, Maths and History activities all based around inspiring a love of reading. If your child has PE on Thursdays, please send them in their PE kit as usual.
After school, the library will be open from 3:20 to 3:45 if you wish to browse our book selection with your child.
Kind regards,
Ash Grange
Dear Parent/Carer,
If your child attended a club trial they will automatically receive a place. For children who attended more than two trials they will need to pick their favorite two clubs. The maximum amount of clubs they can attend is two.
