It was lovely to see so many of you join us for Parent/Carer meetings this week - a great opportunity to hear how your child is settling in class, how the start of the school year has gone from your perspective and possible consider areas to support at home. Although this was a great opportunity for a catch-up, you are warmly invited to contact you child's teacher at any time if you have any questions - your first opportunity is on Monday!
We appreciate that meeting on Teams meant that you didn't see the teachers in person, but this is possibly balanced against the fact that you could join us from home and work. We would appreciate your feedback regarding the meetings in readiness for the next ones later in the school year.
Reception parents, we hope that your meetings next Monday and Thursday go well.
Open Book Afternoon
You are warmly invited to call into school on Monday (17th October) between 3.00pm and 4.00pm to see your child's learning. This is not the same as parent meetings, but an opportunity to look through your child's books and enjoy the displays in class.
Reading Mornings
As many of you will know, before lock down, we used to host a very successful 'Reading Morning'. This would happen once a week across the school and be a welcome opportunity for parents to come and read with their child/children. Obviously, for us as a school this was an important event as it promoted reading and gave parents an opportunity to informally visit their child's classroom and support learning in this vital area.
We are pleased, and delighted to share, that 'Reading Mornings' will be recommencing from Monday 31st October. This will be across the school from Reception to Year Six. Parents will be welcome to come with their child to their classroom and read. This will be at normal school entry time, with parents leaving at 9.00am.
If you have children in multiple classes, you are welcome, and encouraged, to read in one of their classes or in one of our communal areas. For example, the library or courtyard.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that children should be reading at least 5 times a week. This reading should be recorded in your child's 'Home/School Diary' and signed by you.
We very much hope that you will join with us and support your child with their reading. If you have any questions, please contact your child's class teacher.
