Friday 4th April (Last Day of Term) – Year 2 Spring Bonnet Parade

Maypole Dancing and Choir – Keep the date – Saturday 17th May
We will be sending home a note to be signed if your child expresses an interest in performing the Year 2 Maypole dancing at this year’s May Fair. We need to know your child will be available before we start rehearsals next term as it is on a Saturday. The school choir will also be performing at this event.
- It is really important that you continue to read with your child every day. We are noticing that some parents have stopped reading regularly with their children. The children need daily practice to retain their learning.
- Please alert your child’s class teacher when your child has filled up one side of their bookmark.
- Please find the lunch menu by clicking here.
- Please use the school calendar to find up-coming dates.
Phonics book amnesty
We are looking to carry out an audit of our phonics books and are therefore asking that all phonics banded books are returned to school on Monday 31st March. Please can you support us by taking the time to have a thorough check around for any books that may have been mislaid around your home as well as handing in your child’s current books.
This will be a big undertaking and we are going to endeavour to get it completed during that week so that we can send books home again by the end of the week for the Easter holidays.
We recognise that this means that you will not be able to read the phonics books with your child during this week. We therefore ask that you continue to keep the regular reading routine going by reading stories to your child in the time that you would normally hear them read.
Thank you for your support with this.
