Tuesday 28^th February 2023

Dear Parents/ Carers,

I hope you have all had a lovely half term. As always there is a busy term ahead, starting with World Book day on Thursday. We are looking forward to seeing some fabulous costumes, but please be assured that there is absolutely no obligation for the children to dress up. If they do not want to wear a costume they can simply come to school in their school uniform. Also for your information it is whole school photograph day on 13^th March. Siblings will be photographed together throughout the day, please note there is no obligation to buy any of these photographs. We will also be celebrating Comic Relief on 17^th of March. More information will follow. However, unfortunately I must inform you that due to the Red Noses being unsuitable for children under 7 we are unable to sell them this year.

We are holding our Parent/ Teacher Discussion sessions for children in Reception to Year 5 this term. As usual they will take place via phone call. Please watch out for a text or email over the next few days from which you can then book your appointment. Please note that as phone calls will be from a mobile they call may appear as a withheld number or no caller ID. As last year we have added an extra time slot for the Year3/4 classes. Please ignore any reminder message which states meetings are to be held in the classroom, this is simply automated by the company’s system not school.

Please see below for dates and times of available appointments.

Our postcards have been very popular, look at what the Dr's surgery in Hebburn have to say about them. We are so glad people liked them.

Votes for all!
Thu 09 Feb 2023

This week we have been holding a ballot to choose someone from each class to represent their class and become a member of the School Council.

Each child voted in Polling Booths which were set up in the hall. It was just like the General Election.
