WOW Walking to School
We have been sent the following information about our school's achievements last term:
During the autumn term, your school recorded a total of 13,694 trips, of which 7815 were walking all the way trips. Journeys just using a car dropped from 43% of the total trips made to just 13% during the term.
Congratulations - your hard work is making a difference! As well as being better for the environment, walking to school is also healthier for you and your children
Home Reading
Reading is a vital skill for children to master. If a child cannot read confidently, it can negatively impact their learning in every subject.
Your child brings home a reading book every night. Please support your child by listening to them read regularly.
Your child does not need to read a whole book every night. Instead, your child should read a few pages and then you should ask your child questions about what they have read to check that they have understood it. Reading is not just about recognising the words on the page – it is being able to describe what has happened and why. There are often questions in the front or back of a reading scheme book to help you with this.
Listening to your child read regularly is the best way you can help your child to succeed in their learning.
Contact Telephone Numbers
Please make sure that we have your up-to-date mobile phone numbers – this is critical in case of emergencies. It also means you will receive important messages (e.g. school closures, club cancellations, notifications that your child will be receiving a certificate in assembly) via text message.
