Weekly reminder for week beginning 20th September 2016

The fantastic start to the new school year has continued this week, with the children settling well into their classes and lots of learning taking place. Thank you for supporting with all the wonderful fancy dress, the children and staff certainly enjoyed Roald Dahl week!

Ready, Steady Read 
As you probably read in the letter last week, Ready, Steady Read has once again started so please come in to school to read with your child. We look forward to welcoming you on the days and times below:

Reception - Tuesday (8.45am)
Year 1 - Thursday (8.45am and 3.10pm)
Year 2 - Thursday (8.45am and 3.10pm)
Year 3 - Friday (8.45am)
Year 4 - Wednesday (8.45am)

If anyone has a spare couple of hours to come into school to hear some children read, we would love to hear from you. Please let the school office know and we will be in touch.

Please remember that Reading Eggs, Reading Eggspress and Mathletics, the online programmes that we subscribe to, are available for the children. If you cannot remember your password please pop into the school office and we will be able to reissue it to you. These are also stuck into the children's reading diaries. If you have not done so already you will also be receiving you Dojo 'log ins' should you have misplaced them.

As you will already know, Friday is Jeans for Genes day, for a small contribution to this worthwhile charity the children can come to school wearing jeans on Friday. If they do not have jeans, jogging bottoms or such are fine. Please ensure though that children are suitably dressed for school, including foot wear, school rules regarding jewellery still apply.

Nursery and Reception
It has been lovely to welcome all the new children to Reception this week, they certainly seem to have settled into school life quickly! Do not forget that Reception children are due to stay for lunch this week. We are also looking forward to welcoming our some of our new Nursery children this week.

Home Learning Club
If your child attended home learning club last year you should have received a letter last week. If you have not received such a letter and wish them to continue, please pop into the office and get a letter from Mrs Nash or Mrs Mortimer.

Thank you to all the parents who came to Meet the Teacher last week, these continue this week as follows:
Year 1 - Thursday 22nd September

Year 6
Well done to the Year 6 children for working so hard to complete their practise tests. Some of you should have got letters last week inviting children to Booster sessions. These are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8.15am. It is really important that the children attend and are punctual. Please speak to your child;s class teacher if you have any questions.

Please remember that there is a Year 6 Learn with my Child session on Thursday between 9.30 and 11.45. Please come for as much or a little as you can.
