Important
Due to most teachers being involved in strike action on Thursday 30^th June, the school will be closed to children on that day. We will be open as normal again on the Friday.

Early Years Foundation Stage
We always want to be really upfront and honest with you about how well your children are learning and so we wanted to share with you something that we have found to be truly supportive in developing early writers in school.
In the Reception Class there has been a huge improvement in writing skills especially, we have noticed, with the children whose parents and carers come in to write with them on a morning.  Because of this we feel we must really emphasise the importance of you arriving at school on time to spend 5 or 10 minutes engaging in the activities that the staff put out every morning.  Please talk to us if we can help you more in this area. Many thanks for your support in this matter!

PARENTS and CARERS
We are having a planning meeting for a Bank End Summer Fayre on Friday 24^th June at 2.30pm at school.  If you would like to help us support the planning and organisation of a Fayre for parents and children this summer, please feel free to join in…all very welcome!
