Attendance Matters

This week, we have had improved whole school attendance and I would like to thank you for your support with this as it really helps with your child's education and daily routines.  Our whole school attendance was 91.7% and our winning classes were Years 3 and 4 with the same percentage of 98.3% which means they receive an extra playtime as it was above 96% and they both won a movie afternoon on the Attendance Wheel - well done!  Let's keep going with this momentum - remember, you have to be in it to win it!

Reading Superstars

This week, each teacher nominated a child from their class to receive a token for our reading vending machine.  Each child reads at home and does above and beyond when it comes to reading.  They all got to choose a book to take home that they will be able to share with their family - we hope you love them.  Look out in future weeks for more children who will earn a token for the vending machine.  

Year 3 Class Assembly - Monday 21st October at 9am

We are thrilled to be able to invite you to our Year 3 Class Assembly on Monday the 21st October at 9am - Mr Hadden shared this with Year 3 families via ClassDojo.  They are going to be sharing their learning with you all - I'm really looking forward to seeing what they have been up to in full as I have only heard snippets of the exciting things they have done.

 

Year 6 Residential Meeting - Thursday 24th October at 3:30pm

Next Thursday, we will be holding a meeting for Year 6 parents and children all about the Year 6 residential which will be at Buckden House next year.  We will be showing you photographs of Buckden House and going through the details of the activities they will be able to take part in.  This will be a time for you to ask us any questions you might have about Buckden House, the trip there and back, catering, accommodation and our payment plan.    

And finally...

We hope that you have a super weekend whatever you decide to do.  I know that there are lots of sporting competitions for many of you - don't forget to share your successes with us in next week's Celebration Assembly as we love to hear about them!  I am going to be visiting another couple of universities with my daughter (Chester and Bangor this time), Ms Pascoe is taking her boys to swimming lessons, birthday parties and football, Mrs Shirra is celebrating her step daughter's 9th birthday and Mr Watson will be moving into a new house. We will see you bright and early on Monday morning where our doors will open at 8:40am ready for learning to begin at 8:45am - see you there!
