Newsletter 8 - 03.11.17
Dear Parents/Carers,
I hope you had an enjoyable half term break with your families and are ready for a successful term 2. Today we have given the children a yellow ICT user agreement to bring home. Please can you discuss this with your child and send it back in signed and dated as soon as possible. These forms were given out to some parents at parents evening; if you have already completed and returned one you do not need to do this again. Thank you
Accelerated Reader – Many children from Year 3 have begun the process of becoming accelerated readers. If your child has not yet been fully inducted to join the accelerated reader scheme please keep encouraging and enjoying reading with your children, we hope that all Year 3 children will achieve this soon. We have sent letters home this week for parents to receive emailed updates about their children’s progress on accelerated leader, please sign up to this service.
