Annual Survey
Request from the Governing Body
The Governors are keen to hear your views
on how well the school is meeting your expectations, what we do well and your
thoughts on what needs to be done differently. A reminder that the deadline for
the return of forms was 3.15pm on Friday 10th February but the
Governing Body are happy to extend this until Monday 20th February
so that parents have more time to complete the form. Thank you to everyone who
has already returned their completed questionnaire for each child they have at
school.

Internet Safety Day
On Tuesday morning we joined in with the
national ‘Internet Safety Day’ by having a morning assembly. Each class
presented an aspect of what they had learned. There were posters, facts,
slogans chanted, songs and role play dramas all shown. The pupils enjoyed
learning from each others’ presentations and particularly liked the CBeebies
internet song. Thank you to the parents who were able to attend the assembly
and see the Powerpoint presentation afterwards. If you would like a handout
with useful information and websites and/or a copy of the Powerpoint
presentation, then please ask in the school office or Mrs Manzie for one.
Friday

We are pleased to say that after Half Term
Mrs Mel Gravett will be taking on the role of TA in Class 3 on Friday mornings
on a regular basis until the end of the year. Mrs Gravett is already employed
by the school as a TA in her role as Forest School Leader, is well-known by all
the children and we look forward to her support in the classroom. Mrs Gravett
will continue to lead our Forest School sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

before half term led by Duke of Edinburgh students will continue during the first week back after the February

Primary School please. Thank you.
World
Book Day 2017
This year for World Book Day, the School
Council has thought about how children would like to celebrate World Book Day.
Children have expressed how much they enjoy dressing up, so this year children
are welcome to pay £1 to dress up as their favourite book character and bring
the book in if they have a copy. The money raised will be divided equally
between the School Council and the Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity which helps to make life
better for seriously ill children in the UK.
World
Book Day is on Thursday 2nd March but we will be celebrating on
Friday 3rd March.
Following
World Book Day, from 6th March – 17th March, children are
keen for parents, carers, grandparents, governors or any other family member to
come and read a story to a class at the end of the school day. If you are
interested, please talk to your child’s class teacher.
We will be distributing World Book Day Book
Tokens, one per pupil, during the first week back after Half-Term. The tokens
are valid from 27 February to 26 March and can be exchanged for a free World
Book Day book or give £1 off any book/audiobook at participating workshops.
