• Nursery and Reception Attendnace Meeting

  Fri 28 Jun 2019

   

  12 June 2019

   

  Dear Parents/Carers,

   

  As a school, we feel good attendance from the outset of a child’s time at school is essential to get the best start in their education.  We would like to invite you to a parent meeting led by our Attendance Improvement Officer.  This meeting will cover the importance of being at school, attendance expectations and the impact that poor attendance can have on early education and attainment.

   

  This will take place on the Friday 28 June at 9.15am.  Please drop your children off as usual and go around to the office.  The meeting will take place in the school hall.  There will also be tea, coffee and biscuits.

   

  The Reception children are going on their Willows Farm trip on that that day, we would greatly appreciate it if you would pop along to the meeting after you have waved your little ones off!!

   

  We look forward to seeing you.

   

   

  Yours Sincerely

   

   

   

  Mrs D Spooner

  Dear Parents/Carers

   

  To tie in with our Sports Week, the Year 5 children have been invited to take part in a Sporting Champions Event being held at Hemel Sportspace on Thursday 20 June.  We apologise for the late notice but we have only just been given confirmation of our involvement.

   

  At the event will be Gold Level Sports Champion Marcus Ellis, who is the mens doubles and mixed doubles Badminton player who is the Commonwealth Champion 2018 and Olympic Bronze medallist 2016. James Tiley, a Silver Level Sports Champion, who is an international Lacrosse player for Wales who plays in the Southern England Premier League, and also Zack Bobrowski, a Bronze level Sports Champion who is an under 17’s junior Badminton Player currently ranked number 1 in Hertfordshire, and number 14 across the country in Men’s singles.

   

  The children will be introduced to the sporting champions and take part in a brief Q&A session with them. They will then take part in a mass warm up and be split off into groups to be coach led taking part in Badminton, Hockey and Netball.  There will then be brief autograph signing before returning to school.

   

  We will be leaving school at 9.15am and will return at 12pm.  Lunch arrangements will remain the same.

   

  Children can come in P.E. Kits including trainers and a water bottle.  There will be a photographer and videographer present on the day so please let us know if you do not wish your child to be photographed/filmed and they will be issued a wrist band on the day so they are not included in the filming.

   

  Please complete the slip below and return to the class teacher by Wednesday 19 June, or consent can be made via the School Gateway app.

   

  Yours sincerely

  Eid Celebration – Thursday 6th June

   

  4 June 2019

  Dear Parents,

  There are several children in Reception who have been celebrating Ramadan. Ramadan is about to finish and we are going to help our classmates to celebrate by inviting their parents to come along and show us how they do this.

  They have kindly offered to provide vegetarian snacks for the children to try. They have also kindly offered to create a henna pattern on any children’s hand who would like one. These patterns use a natural dye (from the henna plant), which will stay on the children’s hands for approximately a week.

  If your child would like to do this, please complete the consent form below.

  Any questions, please ask.

   

  Kind regards,

   

  Reception Staff Team
