Infant - Weekly Email - Friday 21st November

Dear Parents/Carers,
 
Weekly Attendance
Each week we will let you know the weekly attendance for the whole school. We are aiming for an average of 96% this year. This week, attendance was 96.1%, year to date 94.1%
 
Christmas Jumper Day-Wednesday 10th December
This year we are supporting Diabetes UK. Children are invited to wear their school uniform with a Christmas jumper, their own jumper they have decorated or a blue jumper for a suggested donation of £1.
 
Girls boots
Several parents have enquired about whether girls are able to wear boots as we move to the colder months. We acknowledge that, in general, girls' school shoes tend to be more open and limited in style than boys which is less practical for the cold weather. With this in mind, we will trial allowing girls to wear boots in the winter months. However, there are some conditions to bear in mind:
 
  • They need to remain plain black, without embellishments
  • They must be flat, with no heel
  • If they are laced, the children must be able to do them up themselves
  • They should be no higher than mid calf height, and preferably no higher than ankle height
 
We will review this in the new year.
 
Pantomime Cinderella 
M&M Productions will be bringing their live pantomime to our school in January - details have been sent home. We are asking for a donation of £4.60 but the payment item on ParentPay will give you the option to donate any amount between £2.30 and £10 for this event. Go to the Payment Amount box on the Payment Screen and enter your donation amount. Thank you
 
Family Day -  Wednesday 26th November
To avoid overcrowding in the classrooms, we are asking parents book a time slot via ParentPay. The booking system for Family Day is open until Monday 24th November.

Reading and Phonics Information Evening - Wednesday 26th November
We will be holding a Reading and Phonics information evening to explain how the children are taught phonics and reading in school and to discuss how parents can support their child's learning at home. We will cover topics including our phonics scheme: Bug Club, how we teach reading across the different year groups and the importance of reading for pleasure.
 
Please can you complete the google form if you plan to attend, so we can gauge numbers and make necessary arrangements.  The session will begin at 6pm and last for roughly an hour.  Unfortunately children are not able to attend.
