Friday 4 November 2022 A Good First Week Back Dear Parents,

Friday 4 November 2022 Changes in Support Staff Since half term, we have had to make some adjustments to our support staff arrangements.

Friday 4 November 2022 Support for the PTFA Christmas Fair The PTFA are looking for a few more volunteers for this year's Christmas Fair on December 2nd, in order that we can hold as many stands and stalls as possible. I have been reliably informed that we are hoping to bribe potential volunteers with mulled wine and hot dogs!

Friday 4 November 2022 Eraser pens From next week, we would ask that children do not use pens with ink erasers. This is for a few reasons. Firstly, we are finding that when teachers identify an error whilst marking, children are then rubbing out the error and correcting it - thus making it seem as if the teacher has wrongly marked something incorrect. Secondly, we want to be able to see initial errors and misconceptions children have, so we can clearly see where they have improved and now understand. We also think it's important children understand that mistakes are an important part of learning - not something to get rid of altogether.

Wednesday 2 November 2022 Photographer - Friday 4th November Just a reminder that the photographers will be in school this Friday. You are welcome to bring younger siblings in for a group photo. If you would like to do this, please bring your children through the Key Stage 2 gate at 8:30am and head to the mobile. After your family photo has been taken, a member of staff will ensure children are brought into the building and into class. Children will not be given a late mark if this is after the close of registers. Please ensure children are in full school uniform on this day - school logoed jumpers are preferred but not mandatory. If your child has PE on this day, you may wish to bring them in a different t-shirt to wear for the photo.

Wednesday 2 November 2022 Parent Support Session - Nurturing Positive Friendships The HOPE Project (who support us with our Listening Ear Programme) are offering a workshop to support parents. The theme of this workshop is Nurturing Positive Friendships and the areas covered include Online Behaviour, and Managing Conflict.
