Message From Mrs Dance
Dear parents and carers,
Welcome to the first newsletter for this academic year.
We have started the year with a great attendance percentage of 97%! Thank you to you all for your ongoing support of the school and your children, enabling them to come to school on time and ready to learn.
I have met with the Sticky Stickers group, and they are in the process of deciding what they would like to buy with the £179 they raised. Once we have a full plan I will let you know.
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of joining Mr Stott and the Junior Governors on a trip to Parliament. We met Kit Malthouse where the children demonstrated their reporting skills, asking him some very thought-provoking questions. We had the opportunity to walk around the Houses of Parliament and sit in the House of Lords as well as exploring the oldest part of the building The Great Hall. Once we had eaten lunch in the park adjacent to Parliament, we then went on an exciting tour to see the sights. We saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Downing Street and finally the London Eye. It was a brilliant day. The children were exemplary in their behaviour, demonstrating our school values throughout the day. The tour guides, as well as Mrs Johnson and Mrs Tucker (school governors who joined us for the day) were very complimentary of the children and expressed how sensible and respectful they were.
Next week, you will have an opportunity to meet your child’s class teacher and the Year team as part of our Parent Information Meetings. This will be an opportunity to ask any questions and find out more about the curriculum and exciting learning adventures that will be taking place this year. We look forward to seeing you there. (Details of when and where will be emailed to you via the school office).
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Molly, in Year 4, who, last weekend, alongside her New Street Swifts football team won the Winchester Tournament. Molly saved a crucial goal and is demonstrating fantastic skills as a brilliant goalkeeper!
Following a highly successful week here at school, I wish you all a lovely weekend.
Mrs. Dance
