Dear Parents/Carers
We cannot believe that we are only one week away from the spring half-term holiday; it has been a very busy half-term. This week, Year 1 had a Reggae Steel Drum Workshop company working with them. That certainly brought a lovely energy to Monday morning (see below for more information). Recently, we had a Gospel Choir in school. All these enrichment opportunities bring a range of musical experiences for our pupils, complimenting our wider opportunities within our music curriculum that allow for 3 times in a journey through school to have an opportunity to learn a musical instrument.
Next week, a range of events are happening in school. It will be National Children Mental Health Week and this year, the theme is 'My Voice Matters'. Miss Dale will be leading a whole school assembly about this on Monday morning. We also have Safer Internet Day on Tuesday, where Mr Smith has arranged some appropriate events.
We also have some visitors in school on Wednesday linked to our acceptance on a DfE (Department of Education) initiative linked to metacognition and self-regulation. I will explain so much more about this at a later date about what these words truly mean and how this initiative will benefit school. We were one of only 20 schools (50 applied) that have got access to this very interesting project all focused on improving educational outcomes and experiences for pupils.
