As I informed you last week in my blog I have had to attend a lot of training out of school this week so I feel a little distanced from school life.  Next week I am in school all week so it will be good to feel ‘back in the loop’ again.

Next week in school is a special one because we are holding a ‘Maths Week’. The theme for the week is ‘Record  Breakers’ and we are beginning the week with a maths show called ‘Cap’n  Half-Inch’ which all the children in KS1 and KS2 children will watch. Throughout the week Mrs Hopkins will also be holding maths sessions for parents and children to carry out maths activities together. KS1 will be on Tuesday afternoon from 3.10pm – 4.30pm and KS2 will be on Thursday from 3.20pm – 4.30pm.

Many of you attended our ‘Harvest Festival’ which we held last Friday. I am pleased to announce that we raised an amazing £537 which we are donating to 'Hand to Hand for Syria'. Thank you once again for the generosity of your donations.

We also sent out the slips this week for our parent consultations which commence the week beginning October 19^th. If you have not done so make sure you return your slip to the school by Monday  because the appointment times are going fast. The staff will do their best to give you a time as close to your selected one as possible but if a lot of people want the same time slot it is very difficult to please everyone. If you cannot make your allocated time you may have to make an appointment to see the teacher at another time.

Have a good weekend and I look forward to seeing you all again next week.
