As we come to the end of my first half term at the school, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for making me feel so welcome and sharing your thoughts and ideas with me. I am confident that together we are going to build on the school’s existing successes and make Cranbrook Primary a popular school of choice for local parents.
Playground Development
I hope you’ve all noticed our new football and netball pitch marked out in the playground. Over the coming weeks, we will be working with the children in designating areas for different types of activities for playtimes, so that children have a variety to choose from.
PTA Sponsored Silence Event Friday 12th February
Please remember that this event is taking place this Friday. We hope to raise money for the children for the library and playground. Parents are also invited to donate food for our Bake and Take sale after school. Sponsor forms will need to be sent in for this.
Parents Evening 24th February
I hope that you have received your reply slips confirming times for appointments. If you have not, please talk to the class teacher directly.
During Parents Evening, we will be displaying a range of maths activities and strategies in the main hall. Do come along and have a look and learn about what the children have been doing in maths in their classrooms and how you can help your child.
Parent Questionnaire
I was really pleased to see that parents have started completing the questionnaire, which is accessed via a link on the school website. Your feedback, good or bad, is very valuable in helping us to identify areas of strengths within the school and where we need to improve. Please take some time to complete this.
Uniform
I am really pleased to see that the majority of children come to school in uniform. However, for those whose children do not, I would remind you that it is a school policy for all children to adhere to. Head scarves should be plain white and jewellery should not be worn, unless it is for religious observance.
A letter will be sent out to parents of children who regularly contravene this policy.
N.B. Second hand uniform is available from the school office at no cost.
Year 6 Parents Meeting
Whilst the feedback from those who attended the meeting earlier this week was very positive, I was disappointed that more parents were not able to come. As the agenda included information about SATs and other important arrangements for the Year group, I have set another date to repeat the meeting - 3.30pm Monday 22nd February. Please make every effort to attend.
Year 2/3 Trips
The children have had a lovely time recently on their trips to the Synagogue and Science Museum respectively. Please look out for information and letters about forthcoming trips for other year groups.
Emergency Contact/ Medical Information
We have had a great response to the request for up to date information. Thanks you.
If you have not yet returned your completed form, please do so as soon as possible.
Health Worker
I am pleased to report that Liz Case, the health worker, has recently started at the school. She has already helped to set up the new First Aid room and will be supporting our work with classes on hygiene, care plans, medical protocols etc.
Wishing you all a restful half term!
