Knowledge begins with respect for God (Proverbs 1:7)
This half-term’s value is ‘Trust’ (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Remembrance Assembly
A big thank you to our Eagles’ class who led our service of Remembrance last week. They all spoke extremely well and it was fascinating to hear about the children’s relatives who had served in the armed forces – thank you for helping your children to research their stories.
We were reminded that we should be thankful that we live in a country which is at peace, unlike so many other regions in the world where war is happening as you read this.
Parents’ and Carers’ Evening
This will be taking place on Tuesday 9th December. It is an opportunity to find out more about how your child has settled into their class and what progress they have made so far this year. Teachers will be including the following points as part of your discussion:
- Is your child’s attendance and punctuality at a good level?
- Is your child on track to meet the year group’s end of year expectations in Reading, Writing and Mathematics?
- Is your child reading regularly at home?
- Is your child completing their homework regularly?
There will also be a chance for you to have a look at your child’s work books. If you would find it helpful, please bring someone who will be able to translate for you.
As we have done in previous years, booking appointment times will be done through our school website. A letter will be sent home soon with instructions for how to do this. We look forward to seeing you there.
Book Fair
As we have done in previous years, we have arranged for the Scholastic Book Fair to visit our school. The Book Fair will be open on the night of Parents’ Evening, Tuesday 9th December so please do have a browse at the books on offer when you come along to that.
For those of you who have not experienced this before, the book fair is almost like a visiting bookshop – there will be a large selection of books available to buy, many at reduced prices. School receives commission on every book sold. Books can be paid for with cash or through a bank or credit card.
PE Kits
Please make sure that your child’s PE kit is kept in school. The only time it needs to come home is for washing at the end of each term. Mrs Rhodes and Mrs Patel are regularly being asked to send messages home to parents of children who have not got their PE kit in school, asking them to bring it in. Keeping it in school is the easiest option!
