Parents Meetings: Next Week
Parents meetings are taking place next week:
Monday: Year 3
Tuesday: Year 4
Wednesday: Year 5
Thursday: Year 6
As detailed in the letter circulated a couple of weeks ago we have offered Teams meetings/phone calls in the mornings and face to face in the afternoons.
Please understand that appointments are allocated for 10 minutes.
Face to face meetings will be held in the school hall: please come to the security gate and make your way around to the hall to meet your class teacher.
If you wish to take your child home following your appointment please make your way to the office after your appointment and your child will meet you there (we ask that siblings remain in school).
Thank you for your support.
Monday: Harvest Service
On Monday morning we will be holding a harvest service for staff and pupils.
We are asking, if you feel able, for donations for Newport Foodbank for this service.
Children can bring in tins, packets, dried food, toiletries, toilet rolls etc. which will all be appreciated by those in need in our own local community.
Thank you in advance of your support.
Year 4 Lunch and Learn Feedback….
Thank you to all of the parents and carers who were able to attend the Year 4 Lunch and Learn sessions this week: we hope you enjoyed them and found them beneficial.
Please can we ask all those who attended to complete a feedback form for us: https://forms.office.com/e/r3ESw8XiLt
Thank you for your support.
Year 4 Lunch and Learn
REMINDER: Lunch and Learn sessions are taking place 11am-12.30pm on Thursday for 4OP and Friday for 4N. We are looking forward to seeing you!
On arrival at school we will take payment for your adult meal if you are having one: the cost is £3.12 (set by catering not ourselves!). If you can possibly have the exact money this would really help us.
Please can we ask parents/carers to complete the following feedback form after they have attended Lunch and Learn: https://forms.office.com/e/r3ESw8XiLt
We hope these are enjoyable and beneficial sessions and we thank you for your support.

Be Bright Be Seen: FRIDAY!!!!
Just a reminder that Friday is ‘Be Bright Be Seen’ day!!
We are asking all children to wear one very bright item to school on Friday!
This could be: a hi vis jacket, an illuminous hair bobble or pair of socks, a bright t shirt in place of their white one or a reflector badge/keyring.
There is no charge… this is to raise awareness for Travel Telford’s message this term around the importance of pedestrians being visible to drivers especially as darker evenings are now setting in.
At 8.20am on Friday morning a ‘Be Bright Be Seen’ walking bus will be leaving Shuker Field Car Park for NJS with Travel Telford. The media team will also be there filming and photographing our efforts to encourage safe and active school travel. (Please note parents/carers need to remain with their child for the walk to school)
Thank you for your support.
School Attendance Matters
At parents meetings next week class teachers will be making you aware of your child’s current attendance.
We know there may be very valid reasons why your child may have been absent from school. All we want to do is make you aware of where your child’s attendance is and if there is anything you believe we could do to improve this give you the opportunity to discuss it with us.
Thank you for your support.
Healthy Eating…
We have a responsibility to ensure that our children develop health eating habits.
We ask that breaktime snacks are healthy fruit snacks. We ask that packed lunches are balanced.
School meals are planned in accordance with the governments ‘School Food Standards’.
Useful information about these and what your children should be eating can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-food-standards-resources-for-schools
