Spring has sprung… It’s felt great to start and end our school day with more daylight and  – even sometimes – a glimpse of the sun! To cap it all, this Sunday marks the start of meteorological spring.

Number challenge

Does your child know their times tables and other number facts? On Wednesday, children did their number challenge for the second time – has your child’s scores improved?

Thank you for all the sponsor money collected.

World Book Day

Here’s a re-cap on an email we sent earlier this week…

Next Thursday is World Book Day. We’ll celebrate with lots of brilliant book-based activities through the day!

We alternate years when we dress up – this year is a dressing up year.
If your child wants to, they can come dressed as a book character or anything else book-related (but please don’t feel the need to go out and spend money on a costume).

In a reading-themed day, children will hear teachers read aloud their favourite stories, spend time in other classes reading with different children and explore new authors and books.

Attendance

Good news… Over the Spring term, we’ve narrowed the gap between our attendance rate and the national figure.

Our attendance so far this year is 94.6% – this is now just a little lower than the national figure for primary schools (94.8%).

There’s still room for improvement! Our attendance is still lower than our overall rate last year (95.6%), so let’s hope we continue to narrow that gap in Spring 2.

A thank you…

We started the message talking about Spring and Harvest seems a long time ago. Nevertheless, it’s nice to have received this thank you letter for our Harvest donations – 598 meals is impressive!
