3 Way Conferences - Thursday 10th November

Thursday 10th November - school closed for regular lessons

All ECAs and transport - cancelled.

Conferences are scheduled for up to 3 families at the same time.  The time slot is 45 minutes but there is no expectation for our Year 1s to be in the classroom for that length of time.  There are also opportunities for them to explore and engage in our shared areas and beyond (with you).  

We encourage you to play and learn alongside your child in their learning environment. Your child’s class teacher will be present to support and guide your visit. However, the teacher won’t be with your child for the full duration. During this time, you will get to experience how and what your child enjoys learning and what they are proud of so far this year.

Wear your school uniform.

Specialist Subjects:

Although we are unable to schedule appointments with specialist teachers on this day, we encourage children to collect stickers in their conference passport by visiting these specialist areas:

• Visit the library to enjoy some reading and borrow some books
• Go to the Sports Hall and take part in some PE games and challenges
• Visit the Blue Area to get a taster of our Music lessons
• View some of your child’s ICT learning in our Computer Labs
• Play in our adventure playgrounds - but remember to follow our safety rules

Thank you for your support.

Snacks - Nut Free School

We provided tasty and nutritious snacks each day for the students in class. As some of our children have allergies, please ensure any food sent to school does not contain any sort of nut.

Birthday celebrations

We cannot give out party bags or gifts - please keep these for any sort of celebration that you do out of school.

If you would like to send in some birthday treats for your child to share with their class, please arrange a day with your child's class teacher. We will only be able to manage individual items like brownies, doughnuts or cupcakes. Please remember we are a nut-free Primary School.

The following students are celebrating this week.

Have a wonderful day!
