Dear Parents
Family Breakfast Reminder
Heather and the team cook a delicious breakfast every Wednesday and Friday, which you can all enjoy together as a family. Come along and bring a simple game, some colouring, or a favourite book to share and enjoy together. We ask that children remain supervised and stay seated with the adults whilst eating breakfast, then take part in an activity, so everyone can relax and have a lovely time.
New Leaf
A group of children have had the opportunity to attend the ‘New Leaf’ project at Courteenhall. On their return they were bubbling over with excitement and have a newfound confidence which was moving to see. Miss Ottaway had an amazing day with the children and writes:
“The children had so much fun exploring the grounds, enjoying the beautiful weather. All children got stuck into the activities and even met some new furry friends. We are incredibly proud of all the children for how they approached the day, supported one another and embraced new experiences. We are very much looking forward to the next session.”
Phonics and Reading
We have noticed that children who are read with at least three times a week and who regularly complete their phonics homework make better progress in school.
When children are supported at home, they are better able to access lessons and feel more confident and proud of their achievements. Your encouragement and time, even for a few minutes, really does help your child develop a love of learning and build confidence.
Thank you for your support and well done to those regular readers.
Have a lovely weekend
Alison Harvey
