Shakespeare Week

I’m sure your children have told you about the activities they have been taking part in during Shakespeare Week. Class 3 and 4 put on a great mini-production of ‘Macbeth’ yesterday. I was so impressed with their use of Shakespearean language and with their acting skills. We have decided to repeat the performance for any Class 3 and 4 parents who can make it at 9am on Tuesday morning in the school hall.

Read for Good  Readathon

Thank you to all those parents who encouraged their children to read for this worthy cause.

We raised £168.15 altogether. A special mention goes to Paul Olusegun who raised a very impressive £62. Well done to all of the children who took part.

Book Fair

The book fair is on today and next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There is a great selection of books and other items and card payments are accepted. Children may use their World Book Day vouchers to receive a discount on a book they choose. The school receives commission on all the books bought by our parents, so your children will have double the reading pleasure! We look forward to seeing you all there.

Supporting the School to Support Your Child

I would like to assure parents that sanctions are handed out to children in order to support their character development, to help them to make the right choices and to enable them to accept that their actions have consequences. It is therefore vital that parents support the school in this, to ensure that their child understands how important it is that they follow the instructions of the adults who work with them. We are always happy to discuss your child’s behaviour with you so that we can support them together to make the right choices. Thank you for your co-operation with this as we work together to help your children develop into thoughtful, responsible young people.
