Dear Parents / Carers,

 

Coats

Please can I ask that you send your child in with a waterproof coat.  We try to get outside as much as possible as the children love a run around at playtimes.  After lots of hard work, they need it too.

 

Attendance at school

As you all know, attendance at school is vital to ensure your child learns as much as possible so that they are prepared for the next stage of their life, whether this is moving to another year group in our school or moving onto another school.

Children who have regular time off school, fall behind with their learning very quickly which not only impacts on their academic learning but can negatively impact on their social skills and their behaviour as they recognise that their friends can do it and they struggle. 

We want all children to achieve their best.  To do this, they need to be in school and ready to learn.

If you have any concerns about your child’s attendance, please contact myself or Mrs Dean.

If we have any concerns about your child’s attendance, we will make an appointment so that we can discuss ways forward.

 

Swimming

Swimming starts next week for Years 3 and 5.  We have got a lot of excited children and a few very nervous children too.  Please try not to worry.  We have many years experience of teaching swimming, supporting nervous children to make those first steps.  It won’t be long before they’re swimming independently and having lots of fun.

 

National Fitness Day

On Wednesday, 20th September, all children need to come to school in their PE kits so that we can all take part in fitness activities throughout the day.

 

Small & Tall Holiday Club

Unfortunately, due to low numbers of children during the holidays, we will be closing the Small & Tall club during all school holidays.  We’re aware that some of you rely on this club but due to financial implications we are unable to continue.  We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. 

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone

Take care and stay safe

Mrs Wilmer
