Can you believe we are now half way through this year? It is amazing to think that we have now had 6 months of this year, and very pleasing to think how far we have come.
Term 3 finishes tomorrow at 3.20 – attendance for all children tomorrow is crucial. Term 4 starts – for pupils – on Tuesday 1st March. (Just to give you advance warning, term 4 ends on Friday 8th April.)
Attendance in term 3 has been pleasing, with a number of improvements. We have been telling the children how their class has done each week; last week, 7 out of 10 classes was above 90%, and 4 were above the national average (94%). We still have a high number of children in the gold – silver – bronze categories, and I will be rewarding all of these children just after the half term break.
Dinner Monies
When we return, please could all dinner monies be sent directly to the office. You will notice a change in the office: Mrs Ford is leaving to have her baby, and Mrs elvin will be taking over the office whilst she is away. Welcome to Mrs Elvin, and we wish Mrs Ford (and Mr and Baby Ford) the very best of luck.
Finally, as we reach the half way point, may I say that the children have continued – mostly – to look excellent in their uniform, lateness has gone down and attendance is going up, and the quality of the children’s work has been commented on by a number of visitors as being of a very high quality.
That’s all fantastic. In the second half of the year, we’re going to be even better.
Have a very restful break everyone.
