Finance & Personnel Committee Meeting

On Wednesday, Governors reviewed the staffing structure and the whole school staffing strategy moving forward. Governors carried out a ‘deep dive’ of the induction process by speaking to a new member of staff and were reassured that the process is robust.

Governors were delighted with the Year 3 children’s attitude towards school and the excitement shown about the move to Key Stage 2.

Governors agreed the recent appraisal recommendations and spent time analysing the school finances and future strategic financial planning.

Reception Royal Banquet

Castle Banquet DRESS-UP

On THURSDAY 19th October, we will be holding a special Castle Banquet to celebrate the fantastic work the children have been doing on Castles.

Please can your child bring in a change of clothes to wear to celebrate the Castle Banquet. The children will come to school in their normal clothes and will get changed after their lunch. It can either be a costume they already have at home ( e.g A King, Knight, Princess, Queen,  dragon, etc) or some party clothes.

We will make sure we take lots of photos to share with you all.

Many Thanks.

The Reception Team.

Read, Write Inc – Pure Sounds

Dear Parent/Carer,

The video link below explains how to pronounce each single letter sound correctly. These are called ‘pure sounds’ and are important in allowing your child to blend sounds into words.

‘How to say the sounds’: https://schools.ruthmiskin.com/training/view/iZqY6LWC/9PMBDFTQ

The most common sounds that children mispronounce are ‘t’, ‘c’, ‘l’, ‘m’, ‘n’, ‘s’, ‘k’, ‘f’, ‘r’, ‘v’ and ‘z’. Children mistakenly put an ‘uh’ sound on the end, making it a longer sound and thereby trickier to blend when reading a word. Please have a look at how to say these sounds in particular.

We hope that you find this helpful,

Newdale Read, Write Inc Team

Cool Cats visit to Nursery and School was just purrfect ! 😻

This week Cool Cat had a purrfect time welcoming all children who were on time for Nursery and School each morning! We hope you all managed to get a high five at least once this week!

Thank you to all who arrive on time – our lessons start each morning promptly at 8:30 for nursery and 8:40 for school. The registers are then taken, its such a positive start to the day when the children all start together.  

It was lovely chasing his tail capturing the moments of happy smiling children, rushing to give a quick cat cuddle or high five.
one boy shouted ” Yes mommy i did it ! I love Cool Cat ” ❤️👏🏻

Ciao Reception! 🇮🇹

Today we celebrated the European Day of Languages.
We were learning all about Italy 🇮🇹. What a wonderful day we had!

We learnt about where Italy is on a map and spotted that it was shaped like a boot! We looked at some of the famous landmarks there. We talked about the traditional food, such as pizza and pasta that is eaten there.

We learnt about the traditional type of mosaic art and then created our class mosaic of the Italian flag.

We then read Pinocchio at story time. We recognised this tale, but discovered it was written by an Italian author long ago.

As part of our continuous provision, we worked as a team to create an Italian themed paper chain. We made pizzas from play dough complete with toppings. We acted out the story of Pinocchio. We used construction to make our own Italian landmarks including the very challenging leaning tower of Pisa!

We were so lucky that Mrs Giordano from Nursery came to visit. She taught us some Italian words and even heads, shoulders, knees and toes in Italian!
Thank you for coming in the traditional Italian colours. We cannot wait for next year with another exciting new country to learn about.
