January - Newsletter 10 (5th January 2016)
Dear Parents/Carers,
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
We look forward to an enjoyable and rewarding 2016.
Curriculum
We aim to plan an exciting and stimulating curriculum for your children with a lot of the work linking together in topics or themes. This makes the learning more meaningful for your children as they can make links between subjects. Knowing your child’s theme should help you talk to them about their work. Sometimes there is just one main theme for a term and sometimes more. The themes for this term are listed below.
There is a link to more detailed information about each year group’s curriculum on our website in the ‘Our School’ – ‘Curriculum’ section. An overview of the curriculum for your child’s class for this term will also come home soon.

Thank you for supporting your child at home, it really does make a tremendous difference to their education. Children should be reading each night and completing their homework to a good standard (trying their hardest) and on time. Please also remember to regularly log on to our VLE and the web-based learning tools we subscribe to such as ‘Curriculum Visions’ and ‘Espresso’ to get the most out of the online learning available to your child.
Clubs - A letter about clubs for the term will be coming home this week. Clubs on this week are: Junior Sports Stars (multi-sports - Tuesday and football - Thursday), Choir (Tuesday) and Gymnastics (Wednesday).
PTA – Please turnover for details of our upcoming PTA disco for the children on Friday 22nd January. Infant Disco from 6:15-7:15pm and Junior Disco from 7:30 – 8:30pm. It costs £2.50 per ticket with all profits going to PTA fundraising for the school.
We have our first PTA meeting of this term on Wednesday 27th January from 7:30pm – 8:30pm. Everyone is welcome.
We aim to be approachable and work in partnership with parents, so if there is anything you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to come and talk to us.
Yours sincerely,
James Twigg
