• Summer Reading Challenge Champions

  Mon 14 Oct 2024 Miss Tucker

  Big thank you to the lovely ladies from Kirkby Library who came to present our trophy and £100 worth of books for our new library. Some of the children who helped us to victory brought their certificates into assembly and got a big round of applause from everyone. There is lots of fun at the library this half term, so make sure you pop in. It's all free.

• Grandparents Open Afternoon

  Tue 08 Oct 2024 Miss Tucker

  On Tuesday 8th October between 1.30-3.15 we will be hosting an afternoon just for Grandparents and those who are like a grandparent to our children. We know Grandparents are so loved and often play a crucial role in childcare so we want to host an afternoon where they can come to see their Grandchildren in school and see what they are learning. They may get children asking what school was like when they were at Primary School. There will be a tea bar in the hall serving hot drinks and cakes/biscuits.

  We know this could be really popular so we would ask that if your child has multiple Grandparents, they don't all come at the same time but spread their visits across the afternoon. 

  If your child is going home with one of their Grandparents that day, please DOJO your child's class teacher.

  Thank you

• Day of Languages

  Thu 26 Sep 2024 Miss Tucker

  Thursday is our annual celebration of different languages spoken in school and around the world. Children will be learning to say phrases, sing songs and learn about the countries and their culture in which the languages are spoken. 

  

• Parent Carer Forum - The PINS Project

  Wed 25 Sep 2024 Miss Tucker

  Please see the poster for details of a new Parent Carer forum called the PINS Project. PINS stands for Partnership in Neurodiverse Schools. This is linked to the questionnaires which many of you kindly completed. This is being run by an independent charity funded through Notts County Council Health team. 

  Please contact the school office by 3rd October if you wish to attend so we can make sure we allocate a room big enough for everyone.

  Thank you

  Miss Tucker
