English Lesson in the Forest School

Just a reminder, following my message on Friday – I would like to take the children into the Forest School tomorrow morning as part of our English lesson. Please could the children come in any old clothing and appropriate footwear e.g. wellies or walking boots. They will also need a waterproof coat and if available, waterproof trousers. If the weather is a little bit wet we will still go outside! The children will need to bring their school clothes to change into afterwards and their PE kits for PE with Mr Bebb in the afternoon.

Thank you

Miss Edwards

Google Earth

As part of our geography lesson today, the children were introduced to Google Earth. They were very excited to find out that you can use it to go anywhere you want to in the world and we had a great time exploring some famous landmarks in London. Please feel free to encourage your child to keep exploring Google Earth at home if this is possible. Some other ideas of places the children could find which link to our UK topic could be the other capital cities of the UK or any other cities the children know of or have heard about.

It was lovely to see the children so enthusiastic about their geography learning today!

After-school clubs

If your child is staying to after-school clubs, it is vital that school or nursery are informed. Please write this in your child’s home-school link book, tell a member of staff or telephone the office. This is part of our safeguarding procedures and prevents us having to contact you to ask why your child has not been collected. Many thanks.

Weekly News 19.01.18

School Council Meeting

Following our Ofsted report, Mrs Foster met with the School Council today to find out children’s views about our School. They had many positive things to say about what they enjoy about their lessons. This includes supporting each other if things are a bit tricky, the fun and practical lessons and adults ensuring everyone’s ideas are listened to. Some of the things they said they would like to do more of or change are: varying the timetable to include subject weeks e.g. art and science, more opportunities for older children to work alongside younger children and children having the opportunity to plan their own activities. One of the Year 6s asked if we could have suggestion boxes for the rest of the school to share their ideas so these will be introduced in Worship next week.

If your child has any ideas, please ask them to write it down and pop it in one of the suggestion boxes. Thank you for your continued support.

Parent Governor Election

Following last week’s recruitment procedures for a parent governor, the number of nominations received matched the number of vacancies so there is no need for a ballot. We are pleased to inform you that Mrs Caroline Bailey has been re-elected as a parent governor and we thank Caroline for giving up her time to take on this worthwhile and essential role.

Sickness Absence

Just a reminder that if your child is absent from school due to sickness or diarrhoea, they should not return to school until 48 hours after their last bout of illness. Thank you.

Condover Payment

Please can all outstanding monies due for the forthcoming Year 3/4 visit to Condover be paid by the end of next week. Medical forms will be sent out next week and a parent information meeting will be arranged for after the half-term break. Thank you.
