Lunchtime Supervisors there will be a meeting for all lunchtime supervisors here at school on Wednesday 9th June from 1 to 1.30pm. Thankyou.

Do you like the idea of being more involved in your child’s learning? Here’s a way of doing just that if your child is in Reception class or Class 1 only.
For 5 Mondays after half term (7th June, 14th June, 21st June, 28th June and 5th July) you are invited to attend an Early Reading Course here at school. They are all 1 till 3pm. The first part of the session will be with the tutor who will explain different ways of supporting your child with reading and the second part of the session will be spent sitting and working with your children and the tutor altogether.
You will be making puppets to go with the story of ‘The very hungry Caterpillar’. All the sessions are from 1 till 3pm (2 hours) and at the end you take your child home with you as usual. ( . . .and the puppet ! )
Why not hand the form into school and give it a try? The course has been very successful in the past and feedback has been very positive.

And it gets even better! For those with children in Reception class on the same 5 Mondays as given above, there will be a healthy tasty food cookery morning for parents and their children in the Foundation building at school. You will learn have hands-on experience of cooking up some really tasty dishes with lots of ideas for simple but tasty menus and dishes. These sessions run from 9am till 11am.
You are welcome to book on sessions, (Early Reading and Cooking), just one option or none at all if you like but I do encourage you to take part in at least one option for the 5 Mondays.

Please sign up and return the form to a member of Reception Class staff as soon as possible. Finally this is not just for Mums but Dads as well!

Our annual Sports Awards ceremony is on Friday 18th June. This year we are renaming it the Sports and Citizenship awards and we will also be presenting the Rochdale Childer Award. All parents, Grandparents and Carers are very welcome to join us in the hall on that afternoon for 1.45pm. Don’t miss out as it will be a great afternoon!

After half term week beginning 7 June, Class 6 will be having their special focus week of Excellence and Enjoyment. Five students from Manchester University will plan a week of interesting and absorbing lessons which will be a welcome change from all the hard work that has had to go into SATs preparations.

Year 6 also will be having a morning of Enterprising activities at St Cuthbert’s business and enterprise college on Tuesday 8 June.
