Class Newsletter Week 5


Dear Parents and Caregivers

One more week to go until our School Monster Fair! Thank you to those families who have put their name down to take a shift on our Fizzy Drinks stall. We will be selling out of a caravan on the day, and I have just found out we will also be selling large bags of chips. I will let you know when your shift will be early next week.

Earlier this week you will have received a book of Raffle Tickets to sell. Please return money and/or unsold ticket to the office ASAP. The prizes are fantastic, so, like our family, you may choose to purchase them yourself!

If you have any old toys, books, small Lucky Dip items etc you would be happy to donate to the fair, please drop them off to the office.

All classes across the school will be completing maths, writing and reading assessments over the next couple of weeks, leading up to the issuing of School Reports. This may mean your child does not have a new Guided Reading book some days as this time is used to complete individual assessments. Instead, please re-read books from previous days, revise alphabet knowledge using your child’s alphabet book or review High Frequency words (reading and spelling).

Please continue to send the children to school in comfortable running shoes on Tuesdays and Fridays as we continue our Athletics practises. The confirmed date for the Junior Athletics Day is Tuesday 25 November. Children will wear their House colours on this day. The postponement date is Thursday 27 November.

On this coming Monday 17 November the school will be hosting a consultation evening with educational consultant Mark Osborne about ‘Modern Learning’, at 6pm in the hall. Further information will be given in the School Newsletter. I highly recommend you take the opportunity to attend this session as it will give you a great insight into modern education and what it means for our school. Staff and Board of Trustees members will also be in attendance.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Kind regards
Cara Wallace
