Spring 2 News Week 4 March 14th 2023

Good morning everyone,

Please read our list of dates below to keep up with events.

At the end of last week we were visited by Mrs King, Read, Write , Inc consultant for the Trust. She spent time listening to our EYFS and KS1 children read. I am pleased to tell you that she was very impressed with the children’s progress.

Red Nose Day

Don’t forget our Mother’s Day event later on in the week and Red Nose day on Friday (donation of £1.00) School Council would also like to hold a cake sale so any donations gratefully received- thank you.

Thank you for your parent survey returns- below are the results.

Have a good day.

Mrs Mason

 Remember if children read at least 3 times in the week (proposed 3 x to encourage more children )and have their reading diary signed they can earn stickers on their chart. These stickers earn the children a prize for each milestone they hit. We will also feature their photo in the school hall and in this news post. So please support your child to read as much as possible. Thank you.
