Message from Mrs Tyler
As it has been a short week for the children, it is just a message from me today!  Despite only being in school for three days, KS2 children have been interpreting charts, graphs and tables and using ‘old fashioned games’ to increase their mathematical verbal reasoning skills.  KS1 have been practising their number and comprehension skills and learning about the local area – putting their house, the school, tennis courts etc. on to a map.  Reception children have made the most of the good weather with their outside learning – they have been halving, doubling and writing instructions.
On the website you may have seen a summary of the ‘School Evaluation and Development Report’, which details the school’s priorities for the academic year.  On Election Day the teachers spent the day in school concentrating on one of these improvement priorities – developing the role of subject leaders.  As well as having responsibility for their own class, teachers are also responsible for leading a subject across the school. Each half term they observe their subject being taught in the other classes, look through the children’s workbooks and monitor the planning and assessments. In this way our subject leaders are fully informed about the standards in their subject and are best able to further develop the teaching and provision across the school.  Mrs Patel leads on English, Miss Milne on Maths and Computing, Mr Stephenson on Science and Humanities, Mrs O’Rourke on RE and Mrs Shulemaja on PE and Spanish.  Of course, we are fortunate that at St Luke’s we also have other members of staff who further enrich our children’s learning through Sports, Music and Art.  
Please remember - Year 4 children need to be in school by 8am on Monday to travel to the Outdoor Adventurous Activity Day.
