KS1 Ramp
Can we please remind parent/carers not to come
onto the KS1 ramp when dropping off or picking up
children! Please can parents/carers say their
goodbyes at the bottom of the ramp and allow
children to walk into school with their teacher and
friends. Many thanks FS & KS1 staff
KS1 Parents
Please could all Year 1 & 2 ensure that they have
their outdoor P.E. kit (trainers/plimsolls/ jogging
bottoms & jumpers) for next week and onwards –
all labelled with your child’s name. Mrs Downie
Lollipop Lady Sue
Please can parents/carers be aware that our lollipop
lady Sue isn’t at the crossing outside the front of
school until 8:30am. Therefore any children coming
to early school sessions ie Nessy or Spelling Surgery
will not be supervised across the road if they walk
to school on their own.
Building Update
It's nearly there!!! As you can see every day our
roof is slowly seeing its new tiles being fitted and
the builders hope to have completed it by the end
of the Easter break - Monday 20th April. At the same
time inside the building there have been re-fits for
all the classrooms and the corridors are also
receiving a make-over. You will have seen this
earlier in the week at parents’ evenings. Some of
our toilets are having a make-over too and the
doors to the hall and other rooms are being
replaced/or painted and new handles and seals
being fitted. We are looking forward to its
completion over this final stretch. Thanks for your
continued support and we'll keep you up to date
with the progress. Ms Gibby
Parents Evening
We had two very successful parents evenings this
week and hope that you are up to date with your
child’s progress and targets. If you wish to talk
further or have any other questions then please let
your child’s class teacher know. Thank you JM Gibby.
Magdala Y3
Year 3 have enjoyed every minute of their three
weeks of Magdala workshops. They have written
and performed songs, learnt drama techniques and
performed to Year 2! They were absolutely
amazing! Miss Gregory & Mrs Avison
Y3 Visit to Sutton Library
Year 3 learnt a lot about Sutton in the past when
they visited the library on Tuesday and explored
artefacts that have been donated there. Miss Gregory
KS2 Reading Strategies Workshop
A big thank you to all the parents who came along
to our KS2 Reading Strategies Workshop yesterday.
Feedback was excellent and I’m very pleased you all
found it so helpful. An extra big thank you to the
Y5/6 children who helped me demonstrate some of
the methods we use in our guided reading sessions
– they were great! If you were unable to attend but
would like an information booklet containing a
range of ideas about supporting your child with
their reading, please let me know and I will send
one home with your child.
Don’t forget to come along to our Learning Super
Powers Fair next Thursday! Ms Quarless
