Headteacher’s Newsletter – Friday 7th October – Autumn 4

/in , /by

There has definitely been a turn in the weather this week with the onset of cold mornings and slightly shorter days; winter is coming. The children continue to work hard and standards across the school are very good. On Monday I will be introducing a new initiative to the children at our weekly achievement assembly. Three children will be chosen to bring me their work on Thursday afternoon where we can celebrate their achievements together. Keep an eye on the newsletter to see if your child has been chosen. Please keep supporting the school in all that we do.

 

 

The word of the week is – LATIBULIZE – to find a hiding place or retreat for the winter (alternatively, to find a quiet corner and stay there)

 

 

POEM OF THE WEEK –
Autumn Poems for Kids

 

 

PARENT/CARER TEACHER CONSULTATIONS SECOND WEEK – These very important meetings take place on Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th October for Years Nursery to Year 5 and on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th October for Year 6 ONLY. Appointments can be made through the ARBOR app. All appointments will be held in the school hall for the first time in two years so please make every effort to attend. I cannot stress highly enough the importance of knowing how your child learns. The culture for learning we have at the school is one of nurture and inspiration so please come along and learn more about the way we do things at our school.

 

 

PARENTS AND FRIENDS ASSOCIATION – There was a very disappointing turn out at last night’s meeting. The association relies on your support and without it we won’t be in a position to host events like the forthcoming firework night, school discos, film nights and the summer fayre. It would be an incredible shame if we were not in a position to put on events for the children due to lack of support. If you are interested in supporting the PFA please speak to Mrs Weinstein or myself or email pfaparkside@outlook.com

 

 

ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY – There were 10 children from 8 families who were late to school on 17 occasions this week. Please make every effort to be on time for school.
