Headteacher's Welcome This week the children in Year 1 and Year 2 have been reading the story of the Rainbow Fish and thinking about sharing and kindness. Each classroom has a large picture of the Rainbow Fish and children who have been spotted showing an act of kindness in school have been give a special scale to put onto the fish. In Reception the children have been reading 'The Colour Monster' and thinking about feelings and emotions; the story encourages children to match colours to emotions and teachers have been encouraging children to talk about their feelings. It is always useful to have a common language to use when talking to children and this term we have been talking about our school rules in assemblies and classrooms. I thought it would be useful for us to share our Whole School Rules with parents. The vast majority of children try their best at all times to make the right choices in school, however there have been occasions this week when we have had to talk to some children about the importance of following our rules in order to make our school a happy place for everyone. This has included appropriate play in the playground (not rough) and also respecting property in school (a number of toys have been carelessly broken in After School Club). These are our school rules. Please spend a few minutes talking to your child about our rules to help them to understand what they mean and their importance.
Turtles class have made a video of the Rainbow Fish which you can see on their class page. |

Messages from the Teachers
October is Black History Month. It celebrates the lives and achievements of significant black people in history. Children will be bringing home some information about some significant figures in black history. Children are encouraged to research a significant figure, past or present, and bring their findings into school to share with their class. Children may present their research in whichever way they wish. Home Reading Diaries - Y1 and Y2 Lots of parents are recording that they have read with their child at home - thank you! Please could we encourage you to write a comment at least once a week for teachers as this helps us to know how your child has found their reading book at home. Thank You! Foundation Stage (Reception) Please see the latest weekly Newsletter on the Foundation Stage page with everything you need to know about learning in Reception. |
