Maternity Cover Year 5

Dear Parents/Carers of children in Mrs King’s class,

As you know, Mrs King will soon be going on Maternity leave (before February Half term).

We have been working very hard to ensure the best possible cover for Mrs King’s class whilst she is not in school. We have never been a fan of the unknown nature of supply teachers and where possible always try to cover absence with known school staff.

We are lucky in that we have managed to find the flexibility in staff, in order to cover this absence internally.

A combination of Miss McCullagh and Mrs Mahon will cover the delivery of the curriculum, with Mrs Perkins being in class full time as normal.

I know you will all join me in wishing Mrs King the best of luck.

If you have any queries, I know that Mrs King will be more than happy to answer them when you talk to her during your parents’ evening appointment.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Behaviour

At Newdale, we pride ourselves on our calm and orderly environment which enables our pupils to learn effectively. Our ‘BeSMART code’ is the backbone to our behaviour system and we believe that a positive approach is the key to good behaviour. We want to support our pupils in developing a sense of pride in their efforts; both with their learning and with their behaviour.  We reward positive behaviour, for example with stickers, house points and gold cards. Please ask your children about this at home so that you can further celebrate this together. Please see the attached document for more information about Newdale’s behaviour system and how you can use our systems to support behaviour at home too!

Parents’ Evening

Whilst you wait in the corridor for your parents’ evening appointment next week, please feel free to look through your child’s books. You will notice some questions have been printed for you to ask your child about their learning. A great way of getting children to remember their learning is to regularly revisit past knowledge. We are planning in lots of time for children to do this and felt parents evening was an opportunity not to be missed. Please spend a few minutes with your child talking about their learning this half term and you never know you might learn something new too!

We look forward to welcoming parents and carers into the school next week.

Miss Cook
