What is happening in the classroom?

Spotlight on language and grammar:

This week we are looking at names for people’s occupations eg. Dentist, journalist, pilot etc.
Could parents and carers spare ten minutes or more per night to support the work that the children are doing in school.

Statements to live by:
Over the next few weeks the children will be working together to understand their uniqueness as made in the image of God and develop self awareness, positive self-esteem and confidence.
Please take the opportunity to discuss with your child at home and support them as they learn about appreciating and understanding the importance of social justice, developing independence, interdependence and responsibility.

I know what to do if I see anyone being hurt

School meal deals:

You can still sign up for the “School Meal Deal - £5 per week”. We are offering a big reduction on the price of a school meal for a limited period. If you are currently making up packed lunches on a daily basis, then have a think about moving your child on to our new meal deal scheme and give it a try! Book your meals at the school office.

Parent/teacher meetings for Autumn 2011:

This term’s parent- teacher meetings will take place during the week commencing Monday 11 November.
Classes 1, 2 and 3 will be held over two afternoons, Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 November between 1pm and 4pm.
Classes 4, 5 and 6 will be held over the next two afternoons Wednesday 9, Thursday 10 between 1pm and 4pm.
Friday 11 from 1 till 4pm will be set aside as an extra ‘mop up’ session – by arrangement with class teacher.

Being as our new hall is not ready just yet, the meetings will take place in school in ground floor meeting rooms.
As usual nearer the time you will be asked to sign up for a suitable appointment time. Appointments will be no longer than 10 minutes each.
