Dear Parents and Carers,
First of all, a big thank you to everyone who attended our family meetings. It is such an important opportunity to meet your child’s new teacher properly and connect with them about your child’s journey into their new class and year group.
Please remember, though, that you don’t need to wait until the next family meeting to speak to us! Staff are available on the doors each day, and if there is something you would like to discuss, please reach out. We can make sure the right member of the team gets in touch. Thank you for your continued support.
A massive well done to our Year 5 children who visited Eden as part of their topic this term. I’m told it was a really enriching experience, and the children got so much out of seeing their learning brought to life.
Another well done to Year 5 for their swimming! By swimming weekly and consistently this year, nearly all the children have now completed their 25 metres. What a fantastic achievement!
Our attendance is currently just over 95%, which is great to see. Thank you for helping us keep this up. Being in school every day, and arriving on time, makes such a difference. It means children don’t miss important learning, can settle into the day with their friends and are ready to make the most of every opportunity.
Every day counts, and those first few minutes of the morning really do matter!
This term, we have been thinking about hope and how we can build positive moments through our actions. Small things can make a big difference, a kind word, including someone in a game, helping a friend or taking the time to listen.
We know that some children can find it difficult to understand and manage their feelings and emotions, particularly when things don’t go as they would like during play. We work closely with our children to help them understand these feelings, develop positive relationships and find ways to move forward when things feel tricky.
If you can continue these conversations at home, talking about our feelings, how we treat one another and how we can serve each other with kindness and care, that would be brilliant. We are all part of the same school family, and the way we treat one another really matters.
Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support. I hope you all enjoy a lovely half-term break, have some time to rest and recharge!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the next half term.
Kind regards,
Mathew Harts
Head of School
