Residential Reminders

Many of our students are getting very excited about the upcoming residential visits but there are some who are feeling anxiety too. Please do let your child know that it is very normal to be anxious about being away from home for two nights. Talk together about strategies that they can use for any particular worries. E.g. if they are worried about being afraid of the dark, look into packing a small night light that they can bring to have by their bed.

If they still have accidents with regards to wetting the bed, we are happy to work with you and your child to alleviate any anxiety they may have about this.

If you child seems overly worried, please do let their class teacher know. We would like to work together to ensure that your child feels as supported as possible going into this experience.

Chinese New Year

 Please note that the Chinese New Year Assembly will take place on Friday January 24th in the Sports Hall from 10am to 11am. All students are invited to wear RED or Chinese costume but if they would prefer not to dress up they are expected to wear their normal school uniform.
