Upcoming Events

Well-Being

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct has been a focus in our PSHE lessons this week. By the end of next week, your child will have come home with a copy of the Code of Conduct. Please read this together and ask your child to sign it. Please note that this does not need to be returned to school.

Learning

Y1 Curriculum Term 1a – “Who Am I?” 

The Year One students will be on a journey of discovery about themselves, their families, relationships and becoming members of a wider community. Our driving questions will be: What makes us happy/sad? Why are senses important? What do our bodies need to keep healthy? What happens when people grow older? Where do we live? Where do we come from? Which groups do we belong to?

Identity Box      

 The students will bring their identity box home today (Friday 30.9.19) so that they can add one or two additional items to their box. Please send their box back into school on Monday so that they can share what they have added. Many thanks.

Swimming Kits

 Please note that students should bring in a towel, goggles and swim hat for their swimming lesson. Flipflops / crocs are not necessary as they will get changed at the swimming pool

Reading      

 Book change days are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On these days your child will come home with a reading book that is selected based on their reading level. Please spend time listening to your child reading these books at home.  These should be returned to school in time for the next book change day, if your child is ready. If books are not returned to school, we are unable to change their book.

Junk Modelling 

Please send in any empty, clean boxes and containers for junk-modelling. We are also looking for spray bottles, kitchen rolls and containers with pumps. The children learn so much through junk modelling and have lots of fun as well!

Global Citizenship

The Prostheses Foundation of Thailand                                                                                                   We would like to ask for families to collect 'ring pulls' and bring these into school. You can either deliver them to the drop-off point in the primary office or send them in to your child's teacher. The organisation uses ring pull donations to purchase a higher grade, more flexible material made from aluminium and steel to make artificial limbs. This process meets the international standard ISO 10328 for artificial limbs and ensures that the durability of the prosthetic is increased and patient safety is improved.

Birthdays    

Happy Birthday to the students celebrating their birthdays this coming week:

1E Louis

General Information 

Nut free Primary School

For some children, any exposure to nuts is potentially very dangerous and can be life threatening. We do not allow any nuts to be brought into Primary. This includes snacks on school transport, birthday treats and food items brought in for any other special days. Some treats, such as macarons, contain hidden nuts. Please check the ingredients before sending into school. If snacks or birthday treats are found to contain nuts, we will contact you and either dispose of the food safely or ask you to collect and take back home.
