Dear Parents

It doesn’t seem a minute since we welcomed the children back in September! There’s lots to tell you:

• School shuts for half term tomorrow 22nd October. It’s non uniform day to raise money for the victims of the floods in Pakistan. We would welcome a 50p donation.
• We have a training day on Monday 1st November, so the children are back to school on Tuesday 2nd Nov
• Parents Evening is on Wednesday 3rd November – let’s see if we can beat last year’s record turn out of parents. Please help by filling in the parent questionnaire that night. If you can’t make it, please speak to the class teacher and see if you could meet another time.
• There’s 7 busy weeks up until Christmas. We finish on Friday 17th December at 1:30 p.m. We’ll let you know dates for concerts and parties very soon.
• Mel has retired but we hope to have a new caretaker before too long.
• We have welcomed Mrs Finch to work in Reception.
• Most children are wearing the school uniform. I would like all children to come to school after half term wearing black shoes or boots. They will have had their school PE kit washed.
• Lots of you have been invited to our Star of the Week assemblies and it’s been lovely to have you with us to help make the children feel proud and special
• We’ve had some great support from you with our new behaviour policy. I know that you’ve
  welcomed more contact with class teachers
• 108 children have had 100% attendance during October. This is fantastic and we hope that more and more children will come to school every day and be on time. There’s too much going on here that they will miss otherwise! This includes: exciting topic work/help with reading/drumming days/theatre visitors/special assemblies/after school clubs

Yours sincerely
