Makaton/Communicating Focus There will be a coffee morning on the 1st December at 9am, especially for the nursery and reception parents. This will be an opportunity to learn about the use of sign language and how it develops your child’s spoken language.

 

Autism Friendly Shopping Event There will be a special event in every Toys R Us stores on 30th November from 9am to 11am. This is a great chance to enjoy some Christmas shopping with your children, it is exclusive to parents with children with additional needs.

 

Hand Gel Reminder It has come to my notice that some children are bringing in hand gel that is alcohol based. Parents, please make sure you do not give such items to your children, as some children are passing them around to their friends. Staff will confiscate them if they see a child with it.

 

Parent Questionnaire Please go on the school website link to ‘Parent View’ where you can confidentially give your views on the school’s strengths and weaknesses.

 

Please also note, if you wish to speak to a governor, contact details can be obtained from the school office.

 

We value your input in our strive towards further school improvement.

 

Date Error for the CFA Movie Night On the 11th December, once again we will be organising a Movie Night for the children as our CFA Fund Raising Event this term. The wrong date went out in previous communication, for which I would like to apologise.

Last year in total we raised over £14,000! The money was used to develop the Adventure Playground for all children to enjoy doing their time at the school.

This year we would like to build on this success and will send out a letter with more details by the end of the week.
