Dear Parents
Welcome back and I hope you all had a relaxing summer. A very warm welcome to our new Reception children and parents.
Teachers and Classes
I am delighted to welcome Miss Reed and Miss Succony to the staff. Classes are:
Class 1 The Bats Mrs Robertson
Class 2 The Badgers Mrs White
Class 3 The Otters Mrs Rockey
Class 4 The Robins Mr Humphries
Class 5 The Bees Mrs Channon
Class 6 The Owls Mrs Mason
Class 7 The Puffins Miss Reed
Class 8 The Penguins Mr Mould
Mr Brewer will not have a class this year. In the mornings he will be working with various children on their Basic Skills and in the afternoons he will be working with children who have particular strengths to ensure they can develop these further.
Miss Succony will be covering all classes to release teachers for their PPA time.
Meet the Teachers
If you would like a chance to talk informally with your child’s teacher, Yr1 and Yr2 teachers will be available on Tuesday 13th September from 3.15 – 4.15. Reception teachers will be available in the afternoons for the next few weeks.
Ofsted
We were delighted with our recent Ofsted Report. If Yr1 and Yr2 parents would like a copy, please call in to the school office. The inspectors have asked us to work on further developing the children’s vocabulary and for you to help us by making sure your children attend regularly and arrive on time. If your child is ill, please ring the absence line on 01373 859795, if you arrive after 9am, please bring your child to the office. Thank you.
Clubs and Dates
I will write next week with a full list of dates and Yr 2 Clubs.
Reading meeting for Reception Parents
I will be holding a meeting on Wednesday 14th September at 9.25 to explain how we teach reading and how you can help your child. The meeting will be at 9.25 to give parents who need to take children to the pre-school the chance to attend. Please come if you can.
Contact Numbers
If you have changed your mobile number or any other contact details, please complete the attached slip. Many thanks.
Best wishes,
Jan Ball
