Attendance Traffic Lights

You should receive a message today giving you the percentage for your child’s attendance from 3.9.24 to 20.12.24.

If you child has achieved 96%+ they will take part in an attendance treat in January.

The next treat after this one will take place at Easter.

If children have 96%+ attendance from 07.01.25 to 04.04.25,

then they will be able to take part in that treat.

Awards

The Sue Dean Writing Award has been awarded to Mariam Abid in Y4R. Children from across the school were nominated by their teachers and have brought home certificates. They should all be as proud of their writing as we are.

Events this week

Thank you to the parents who were able to attend the Christmas Craft session on Thursday.

There were some amazing creations!

Y3 made pasta salad as part of their Design and Technology project. I tasted some salad and loved it!

They took salad boxes home yesterday -  I hope they all loved it too.

Holiday Homework

I want the children to have a lovely Christmas break and enjoy spending time with family but if there are times that are less busy, it would benefit them to do a bit of extra reading or writing, to keep key skills ticking over.

Many of our children have access to online programmes such as Maths Whizz, Times Table Rockstars and Numbots. They could also practise times table facts, spellings, handwriting or just spend time reading a good book.

It would really benefit them to do small amounts of work regularly. Children who do this, always pick things up more quickly and effectively after a school holiday.

Online Safety

At Christmas time many families get new technology in the home.

Please remember to set up parental controls for any devices.

See the link from our Online Safety Hub Parental controls & privacy settings guides | Internet Matters

I have also attached a leaflet below regarding setting up parental controls on devices.
