Friday 12th October 2012

Hi Everyone,
Thank goodness it's Friday !!!!

Another busy week done!

I've been really pleased with a lot of the children's work this week. I've seen castle making and instructional writing in Reception-Abigail Crowson wrote some lovely instructions for her boat she was building. I've seen witches and wizards in Y1 and I even tasted a witch's potion. Children in our Early Years Phase (YR-Y1) are showing signs of rapid progress! Well done children and staff.

I've seen children's learning in Y3,4 and 5. Mrs Mills and Mrs Norris have been looking in Y2,3,4 and 6. We have all been pleased how well children are working and trying their best.

This week the Y2 enjoyed an explore around the local area and the school photographer came in. I must apologise for any confusion regarding the photographer. I accept a reminder letter would have been helpful-sorry!   (...actually I blame the office!!!!). We made sure all the children looked gorgeous and we hope you will like the results. Perhaps in the Summer we'll have a whole school photograph as this is the first year in the new school building.

Parents' Evening is coming up on Thursday 25th October. We try to make this a big social event for all parents and families. The teaching staff will be in the small hall and coffee, biscuits and activities will be in the big hall. You will be able to go into your child's class and look at their books and work. Staff will be in the classrooms if you want to chat to them too. Please make sure you send back the reply slip so we can book you in. Even if you don't, we'll book you in anyway.

Attendance is still going well.  As a school we achieved nearly 97%.  Unfortunately Billy's bones went to Miss Cylkowski (92.4%) but Billy the Fish went to Miss Byrne's Y6 class who achieved 99.7%.  Dave the Lazy Monkey went to Miss Astill and her Y1 class because she had the most lates.

Next Friday we award the Family Challenge trophy. The current challenge is to write a limerick about Welland School. Good Luck. Entries need to be in by Thursday night.

There have been lots of birthdays in school this week;
YR, happy birthday to Lewis Slipper and Kirils.
Y1, happy birthday to Jasmin and Nadia.
Y2-3, happy birthday to Jowapu.
Y4-6, happy birthday to Sebo, Iliyan, Marta, Macauley.
Special happy birthday to mum, Emma Lenton this week and my baby boy Harry who turned 20 this week!

The school nurse has a drop-in session next week. If you would like to have a chat with her, please see Mrs Reed.

That's it for now. I hope you all have a happy and safe weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next week.
