Next week is Drop Everything and Read Week in school, during which we will be celebrating our school’s love of reading by dropping everything and reading for a few minutes every time the bell is rung in school. This includes all staff as well as the children, from teachers to office staff to mid-day supervisors!
The bell could be rung at any point in the school day, during lessons or at play or lunch time.

Please could you make sure that your child has their reading book with them every day in school next week, to help support our reading event.

Thank you for your support.

Miss Warburton and Mrs Cox

Dear parents and carers,

We would like to invite you to some Maths and English drop in sessions so that you can experience how your child learns during these core subject lessons and hopefully get some ideas for how to help your child learn at home. You will be able to sit with your child as they participate in activities in class, and join in with them.

The sessions are as follows:

EYFS

Snowdrop, Bluebell and Buttercup class Autumn activity session- Please see individual class letters.

Wednesday 20^th October 9:10-9:40 – Maths (times tables) drop in session – KS2 classes

If you have children in more than one class, you are welcome to drop in to their different classrooms for a few minutes each!

Due to space in the classrooms, please could we ask that only one parent/carer per child attends – thank you for your understanding.

We look forward to seeing you at the drop in sessions and thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

Miss Warburton and Mrs Cox (KS2 and KS1 leaders)
