07/03/25 Newsletter

There are still a few spaces remaining if you would like to attend the Iftar on Tuesday.

If you wish to attend, please contact Mrs Iqbal to let her know the number of people who will attend and what food you will be able to provide.

Attendance

Whole school attendance this week is 94.96%.  This is much better than we have had recently.

These five classes had the highest attendance this week.

Punctuality

RCK Chicks, Y2S Swan and Y6E Hydrometra Stagnorum Classes had only 1 late this week.

Please ensure all children are in school by 8.50am

A number of letters were sent out this week to families, where the children have been late on a number of occasions.

Parent Feedback

Mrs Iqbal has sent out a link today to all families so that you can share your views about Reedley School. The survey will close at 11am on Friday 14^th March. Thank you.

Road-safety

Please ensure that children get out of your car safely.

The safest way to do this is for them to get out onto a pavement and not in the middle of the road.

Upcoming Events

Thursday 13^th March – Children from Y1 to Y6 can take part in Round 1 of the Spelling Bee.

The words have already been sent home.

See Mrs Gorrell if you need further information.

Fundraising

On Friday 21^st March, many schools will be supporting the BBC Comic Relief appeal.

I am inviting children to dress up in red clothes for the day and to bring £1, however we will send the money to a charity to support Palestinian children instead. If you prefer to donate to Comic Relief, you can make this donation online yourselves instead of donating to school.

I will send out further details next week of the charity that will donate to.

Events This Week

Year 1 children went on their trip to ‘Bring Yer Wellies’

The children made houses as part of their topic on the Great Fire of London. During the trip these were set on fire under controlled circumstances, so the children could see that the houses in the fire of 1666 burnt down because they were too close together.

World Book Day

Well done to everyone who helped to make World Book Day 2025 a huge success.

Thank you to the adult who were able to come into school for the World Book Day sessions and for supporting your children with the costumes.

Parent Meetings

If your child has additional needs, you have been sent a time to meet your child’s classteacher on Friday 21^st March for a discussion about their progress. Please let us know if you are unable to attend and we can reschedule.

There is no need for you to book an additional meeting with the classteacher.

Parents of the rest of the children in the school are invited to make an appointment with their child’s classteacher on either Tuesday 25^th March or Wednesday 26^th March.

You will be able to book appointments from 4pm on Monday on School Spider.
