Dear Parents/carers,

Twitter:

We have already started sharing activities on Twitter. If you haven’t already signed up to follow your child’s class Twitter account, please do so, so that you can see what they are up to. We share a range of activities that are taking place as well as award winners.

Dojos:

We have now replaced stickers in school with Dojos. Children can receive Dojos for all manner of positive behaviour including work, behaviour, attitude and manners. In fact anything that upholds our school vision. Once they receive 100 Dojos they will receive a certificate and will continue to receive a certificate for every 100 earned. Each year the Dojos will start again so for example they could earn a Year 1, 100 Dojo award and the following year receive a Year 2, 100 Dojo award. Pupils can still save up their Dojos to spend in the school rewards shop.

Tea Time Club:

Biscuit & Bun decorating: Thursday 7th October

Do you like eating yummy treats?

Then come along and join us.

You can decorate them using different coloured icing and sweets – You decide and You create.

Then take them home to share with family or eat them all yourself.

To book your child’s place, please call or email the School Office.

See you there. 

Mrs Wharton and Miss Hacking
