We understand that during these difficult times, children have been more likely to become unwell, be isolating or suffering a family bereavement however daily attendance at school is crucial for children’s development as it ensures that they do not develop gaps in learning.
We expect attendance to be at 95%, please see the images above to understand the impact of missed learning days and late arrival times. Please know that are monitoring attendance and punctuality closely, if you need support in this or you wish to speak about this further please do not hesitate to make an appointment to meet with me.
Thursday is World Book Day* and we are looking forward to seeing the outfits of book characters that the children come in wearing. We have more events across the week including an author reading a book each day. On Monday we are doing a class swap, teachers will go in and read a book with children in another class. This is the same day that children will bring home their book token, you can use these to get books in a bookshop. On Wednesday, there is a Stories from Africa Theatre workshop in the Hall for children in classes Reception T, Year 1H & T, Year 2h & T. The book fair is also arriving at school on Wednesday and will be in here until the 9th, March so please pop in when you come to collect your children and have a browse of the books for sale.
