Was your child our handwriting superstar this week? ⭐️

By Kirsty Laing23rd October 2020

I had the pleasure of celebrating handwriting twice this week due I missing it last week. They have worked so hard to improve on their handwriting during the last 8 weeks.

Everyone blew me away by their work hard attitude but these two young ladies have set the standard high in terms of beautiful work…

Freya B in Year 4 Crew Boswell blew me away with hers today. I will be sharing this with the rest of KS2 as it was amazing. But I was also blown away by Frankie Ms in Year 4 Crew Elmer. 👏🙌🏻 Keep up the beautiful work girls. 🤩

Parent/School Partnership 🎉

By Kirsty Laing16th October 2020

I have been thrilled to hear that so many parents have been in touch in order to find out how they can support their child at home in order to achieve the standard set.

Staff are going to be sending home learning tasks home for children to complete linked to what they need to achieve next.

Also for any children not on track, staff will be holding virtual meetings with parents when we come back after half term.

As I shared the other day, by working together we will ensure that we will get your child to their expected standard.  🌟

I’m going home this weekend feeling really proud of the way parents and school are coming together to support our children to ensure that they can be the best version of them self.

Have a lovely weekend. 🥰

Reading at home 🙌

By Kirsty Laing15th October 2020

Absolutely thrilled to see that the number of children practising their Reading at home has gone up between Monday and today. This is amazing to see.

We are giving out mini chocolate bars for all those children who read 4 times each week! 🍫

Keep up the great work. Remember, reading opens up so many doors and makes the world a much easier place to navigate when you can read fluently. 📚

We understand that some pupils do not particularly enjoy reading but please help them to underhand that it’s such an important life skill to have. The earlier it’s done, the easier life becomes 🥰

 

Thanks to all those parents who are supporting their children at home. We really do appreciate it. ☺️

Baseline Progress Reports

By Kirsty Laing14th October 2020

I just wanted to let you all know that your child will be bringing home their first report for this year which shares some important information linked to their academic progress.

We have had lots of parents already asking staff in school for ways to help their child to catch up after Covid which has been amazing.

Whatever your child’s reports says, it’s still so early on in the year and every child is able to make rapid progress if we work in partnership. We are thrilled with the children’s attitudes to learning.

A letter is also coming home to just reiterate the impact that covid is having on some of our pupils academic success and in particular in Early Reading and Phonics.

We are confident that we are going to get all children caught up but we will need some help at home with practising and consolidation of Reading and also basic skills.

I know that together we are going to achieve great things for our children this year! 🤩

We are here to help in any way we can. Just let us know if you want anything clarifying or want any help understanding any home learning or ways to support with reading etc. Just get in touch. 🙏🏻
