It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas……….All our children are working really hard towards our Christmas Nativity and Dance Showcase, which they will be performing next week. As expected, there has been a huge demand for tickets and as stated in the letter, we can offer two tickets per family. We have reached our limit for seating therefore there are no spare tickets this year.
On Thursday our Nursery children sang their Christmas songs to their parents beautifully.
After School Clubs:
The Sports Clubs and Outdoors Club will not be taking place after school next week. There will be no After School Club next Friday, 16th December.

Can I ask that all conversations between parents on the playground are appropriate for children's ears. As adults, it is important that adult topics are discussed away from children.

100% Attendance and Punctuality:
Year 1 achieved 96.3% attendance this week. I am hoping to report that several classes achieve 100% next week during our last week of term.
There were 42 lates this week which affected 6 classes. Please ensure your children arrive at school on time. The bell goes at 8.55am.
I will continue to focus on improving punctuality this academic year, as children arriving late not only affects their own learning but also disrupts the rest of their class. Children need to arrive at school between 8.45am and 8.55am, in order to undertake early morning work. Therefore we will continue to record poor punctuality. If children arrive after 8.55am, they will be recorded in the late book and their parents/carers will be asked to sign the late book and record the reason why. Mrs Devine will be closely monitoring children who are continuously late for school, offering support to those families who need it.
If children are regularly late for school, then I will also ask parents/carers to attend a meeting with myself and the Children and Family First Team to address this issue more formally.
