  Sun 29 Oct 2023

   Welcome back to the new half term everyone!

  We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow (Monday 30th October). We hope that you all had a lovely holiday and are ready and raring to go for the new term ahead!

   

  Parents' Evening 

  Do not forget that on Wednesday and Thursday of this week it is Parents' Evening after school (Tuesday and Wednesday for South Africa). Teachers have been busy making appointments for everyone, so if, as yet, you do not have an appointment please contact your child's class teacher on Monday to make arrangements for a meeting. As you know, we are offering a blended approach, so if you have not done so already, please do tell the teachers if you want a Zoom or face to face meeting.

   

  The termly questionnaire for parents / carers came out via Class Dojo during the holiday and can be accessed using the link below

  As always we thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate that this takes time but your feedback is invaluable to us as we continually strive to improve the educational experience we provide for the children and families we serve. 

   

  Please do allow your children to be part of the meeting so that they also know how they are doing and what they need to work on. The importance of the co-education of your child cannot be overstated.

   

  Year 4

  Year 4 are off to the Thames Barrier on Monday. We are sure they will have a great time. If you have not paid for the trip or handed the form in, please do so first thing on Monday.

   

  Year 5 

  Year 5 will be taking part in a Road Safety Workshop on Monday afternoon. Please do talk to the children about this when they come home.

  Year 6 have their Viking Day on Tuesday. We are looking forward to seeing some fantastic costumes.

  The children in Year 1 will be welcoming the Birds of Prey on Thursday as part of their topic all about Woodland Life. Year 6 will also be having the same experience as part of their development of their Cultural Capital.
