Safety Week This week we have focussed on the theme of ‘Safety’ in classroom discussions, lessons and in assemblies, as part of our termly focus on raising children’s awareness of how to keep themselves safe. The areas of discussion have included racism, bullying, stranger danger, cyber-bullying and keeping safe on the internet. I would urge you all to reinforce key message to your child, and to be vigilant when your child is on the internet.
 
Parent Feedback As a staff team, we are always keen to receive your feedback, good and bad. Thank you to those parents and carers who gave us some feedback at yesterday’s Open School Sessions. Please remember you can also go on the OFSTED website and visit the ‘Parentview’ link to provide confidential feedback. You can also write comments and drop them into the Parent’s Suggestion Box in the School Lobby.
 
Paperless Newsletter/Homework As mentioned previously, we will stop sending paper copies out after half term, (from November). Please remember, if you still want a paper copy of the newsletter, you may collect one from the school office.
 
Taking Photographs From time to time, we take photos of your child for school displays and/or the school website. If you have any objection to this and do not wish us to photograph your child, please put this in writing and give the letter to the school office for my attention.
 
Colour Assemblies Colour assemblies will begin on Thursday 25th September. However, instead of running assemblies every week, they will take place fortnightly as follows:
25th September:
9.10-9.35am Dance Studio-Blue & Rainbow classes
9.10-9.35am Main Hall - Green classes.
2nd October:
9.10-9.35am Dance Studio-Red classes                                    
9.10-9.35am Main Hall-Yellow Classes
Thereafter, we will repeat the above pattern. All parents are invited to attend. Reception classes will join after Christmas.
 
Open School It was lovely to see so many parents at yesterday’s ‘Open Day’ sessions. This will continue as a termly event throughout the year.
 
Cranbrook Parenting Course We would like to invite parents, carers and grandparents to take part in a 5 week parenting course at Cranbrook Primary School. The course will start on Friday 26th September and will run for 5 weeks until Friday 24th October from 9.30am – 11.15am. Parents will have the opportunity to meet other parents, strengthen their parenting skills, develop new skills and techniques, learn how to manage behaviour in a positive way and raise children’s self-esteem. A certificate will be awarded to all participants at the end of the course and free refreshments will be provided throughout. If you would like to enrol please phone 020 8518 2562 to put your name down on the waiting list or contact Beverley the school’s parent support adviser for further information.
