Parents Evening Hello All, this term seems to be going so quickly!
Monday 2nd & 4th
I wanted to share with you some of the amazing books that have been bought for and given to school
October over recent months. If you would like to see them in the flesh, so to speak they are available to read
with your child in the front entrance of school. The most recent ones are:
Prospective Open
Evening / Mornings 'For the Right to Learn' by Rebecca Langston- George which is a
story of Malala Yousafzai and her life and her accepting the

and children to visit

Open mornings trail blazing women.
Friday 13th October
and Monday 16th I am on the look out for some inspirational books for boys too, if
you find any titles that you have enjoyed with your children then
October please let me know or you may wish to donate to school to
9am to 11.30am inspire all our learners.

I am really looking forward to seeing you all at Parents evening on Monday and Wednesday next
week. If you have not done so already please make your appointment through the following link:

or telephone the office and they can help you. It is really important that you come and bring your
child with you so they are part of the discussion with their teachers and you.

Thanks for all the lovely messages I have received from Year 3 parents about the transition
experience you have received with us. Look out for a transition survey, next week, specifically for Yr 3
parents and parents of new children joining the school. We very much appreciate your comments.

I am also sending out a letter this week about Parent Partnership Forum (PPF)
which is a wonderful way for you to get involved in the life of the school.

Regards, Mrs Norton

I have the freedom and choice to be ambitious for my future
