Good morning everyone,
There was some confusion yesterday which meant that our cricket coach wasn’t able to attend our sessions. These have been rebooked- dates to follow.
We are launching Children’s University in the next few weeks. We will be taking part in this because we want children to
- Feel they have grown in confidence and self-belief
- Enjoy new experiences, in new places and want to keep exploring
- Believe they have a broader range of essential skills
- Feel empowered to make positive choices about their future
- See learning that is fun, aspirational and lifelong
Please read below for our useful parent information.
Have a great day
Mrs Mason

School Uniform
We have a number of children coming to school wearing coloured trainers and jewellery. Can I reminded you that school footwear should be black and the only jewellery children should be wearing is a watch and small earrings if ears are pierced.
Doncaster Reading Challenge
KS2 children (Years 3- 6) have brought their Doncaster Reading Challenge folders home. Inside the folders you will find a reading map on which the children can record the books they read at home. During the summer term there will be certificates and prizes for children filling their map.

PE Kit
We will be encouraging all children to bring in the correct PE kit over the next few weeks.
- Child to have a verbal warning the first time it is forgotten.
- A text will be sent home on the second time it is forgotten.
- A phone call home will happen on the third occasion (or speak to parents when they collect their child).
Please remember that children should not be wearing jewellery other than a watch and stud earrings. For PE these should be removed however if this is not possible we will supply the children with some tape to cover them up. This is for health and safety reasons.
Please download the app so that you can see how many Dojo points your child has earned.

Alright Charlie
This resource is designed for use with children aged 9-11 in primary schools and aims to highlight the warning signs of grooming in an age-appropriate way. We might need to think about using a younger age group also, possibly Year 4.
The film below is seen through the eyes of Charlie who is groomed by Danny. The resource was designed in consultation with CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation) professionals, primary schools’ teachers and children in years 5 and 6 in primary schools. The resource is accessible to girls AND boys with the viewer never discovering Charlie’s gender.
I have attached the link as this might be useful to use we our children .
