Afternoon all

It was 3B’s first time in Beech’s Base today!  We know the children were very excited and they had a great hour exploring our outdoor learning area.

We did cut the session shorter due to the persistent heavy rain; the children came into the hall to dry off and enjoyed a biscuit a games.

Please can we ask that when the children go to Beech’s Base they have appropriate clothing: layers, long trousers and long sleeves, waterproof coat, waterproof trousers and wellies. With the correct clothing children will be warm and dry.  Please ensure all items are named.

Thank you for your support, we hope for a full afternoon next time and to be able to get the fire going for some cooking!

Dear Parents and Carers of 3B,

As you will know, we have our first Beech’s Base session tomorrow afternoon.

Please ensure you send your child in wearing their Beech’s Base clothing, i.e.: fairly similar to today’s clothing, wearing a pair of normal trainers for the inside, and their wellies in a bag.

They will need clothing that they don’t mind getting muddy, as I am told it is quite boggy down there! Wellies ARE advised – trainers may get ruined by the mud.

Also, please send them with a raincoat, as rain is forecast for later in the day.

Kind regards,

Mr Butler

Dear Parents and Carers of 3B,

Just a polite reminder to say that there are still some spaces to come and see me on Monday for a 10 minute consultation about your child. If you would like to do this, please contact me via the letter form that was sent home, or by email, on andrew.butler@taw.org.uk

The morning sessions are reserved for telephone conversations / Microsoft TEAMS calls, and the afternoon is for face-to-face conversations in the school hall.

Please ignore this message if you have already organised your consultation.

Kind regards,

Mr Butler

Dear Parents and Carers of Year 3,

As you can imagine, there are moment when children’s clothing and belongings go awry, and is mixed up with other clothing from the class they are in.

Today, we have spent the best part of 1/2 hour sorting out whose white polo shirt was whose, because very few were labelled with names, following the swimming lesson. We are not allowed to be in the changing room to organise your child’s belongings, and they are advised to carefully fold their clothes and store them in their swimming bags. As you can imagine, this sometimes does not happen!

Please ensure ALL your child’s belonging and clothes are clearly name-labelled, as it is very easy to return items that are correctly labelled up.  Simply writing with a biro on their labels will suffice.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Butler & Mr Moody

Dear Parents and Carers,

As you know, Year 3 will be visiting Chetwynd Deer Park tomorrow, within the school day.

Class 3M need to come to school dressed to go, wearing clothing that will keep them warm and dry, as they are going in the morning.  They should bring shoes to change into for INSIDE, for the afternoon session in school, as they will return for lunch.

Class 3B should come dressed to go, but with their boots / wellies / outdoor shoes in a bag, ready to change into, as they are going after lunch, in the afternoon.

E.G.: a pair of joggers or leggings, layers on top, warm jumper, hat if needed, raincoat, wellies if comfortable to walk in, or walking boots (if you have them) – they can wear trainers but it would be better if they wore something that will keep the water out, in case of rain / wet grass etc.

Hopefully, this clarifies any questions you may have.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Dear Parents and Carers,

If you have not yet done so, please login to ParentPay and give your child permission to go on this trip, which is happening next Tuesday 15th October. If you do not give permission for them to do this, children will have to remain in school with the remaining Year 3 class. If you are not able to log in to ParentPay, please contact the school office on 01952 386600 or email njs.admin@taw.org.uk to discuss the issue.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 3 Team.

Please could you send an old oversized (Dads, Mums, Grandads, Brothers) shirt into school tomorrow (Thurs 10/10) so the children can wear them as an Art shirt.

We are going to try and make some cave paintings, using a water based paint spray; so ideally I would like the children’s uniform covered as much as possible.

This shirt can then stay in their lockers and become their Art shirt for future activities.

Thanks

Mr M
