Dear Parents/Carers,

Punctuality

We had 7 hours and 10 minutes of lates this week.

Please ensure that your child is in school before the gates closes at 8.50am each day.

There is only one class in school where all of the children have been in school on time this week.

Y1 Fox Class

 

Attendance

Our overall attendance for this week is 91.88%.   This is incredibly low again, meaning that children are missing out on learning.

Only three classes achieved 0ver our 96% target this week:

Y4 Kingfisher Class 99.17%

Y4 Starling Class  98.33%

Y5 Martes Martes Class  96.67%                 WELL DONE TO THESE CLASSES!

 

Events This Week

 

• Last week I announced that we had a record 24 children receiving awards for their times tables this week. However this week we have exceeded this with 34 children receiving awards! WOW!
• On Wednesday some children went to Pendle Leisure Centre and took part in a panathlon. They had a great time, some children won events and their conduct was amazing.

This will be a very useful session where you will learn how to put parental controls on any devices at home.

• Christmas Fair

Please support the school Christmas Fair on Thursday. Entry will be through the doors to the hall. Please ensure that all children are collected on time on the day of the fair as staff members will need to set up for the hall, which will be delayed if they are looking after children who have not been collected.

Entry to the fair is free but there will be lots of stalls with food, sweets and toys to buy.

Wet Weather

We have a new plan for sending come classes home when the weather is very wet.

All Year 1 children will come out through Mrs King’s class and Year 3 children will come out of school through the school hall. This is to try to keep the children inside for as long as possible.
