KS1 start of term reminders

New staff

We would like to welcome a new addition to the teaching staff, Miss. Chloe Kniveton, who will be working in Year 1. She is excited by the challenges ahead and ready to bring her skills and knowledge to help develop the KS1 team.

Homework

This will begin as of Monday next week, as we will use this week to get the children settled into their new classrooms and routines.

Below is a table which outlines which day your child will require their PE/ swimming kit at school:

	Y1K	Y1Y	Y2J	Y2K
PE	Thursday	Tuesday	Monday	Wednesday
Swimming	Tuesday	Wednesday	Wednesday	Thursday

After school pick up - In Key stage 1, please remember that all children who are not attending ECAs and have not been picked up will wait at the pick up area next to the front gate.

Sun hat reminder

Dear Parents,

Please can all parents ensure that each child has a  sun hat at school. It should be clearly marked with a name and can be purchased from the school uniform shop. If the uniform shop has run out of stock, then a suitable hat from home can be used until a school sun hat can be purchased.

We will be stressing the importance of wearing a sun hat and avoiding skin damage from the sun to the children. Any child without a hat will have to sit out at playtime or play in the shaded area which is not nearly as fun as running around the whole of the playground!

Many thanks for for support in this matter.

End of Year

Y1H End of Year class movie

Dear Y1H Parents,

We are pleased to announce our brand new end of year class movies. Previously we would produce e-portfolios for each child, but we felt that a movie would represent a more dynamic and endearing memento for you and your children. A lot of effort has been put into producing these movies by the class teachers and we hope that you will be as thrilled with the results as we are.

There are two options for viewing the video - downloading or using the google previewer to stream.

For downloading: We suggest you do this at home on the computer as the file size is quite large, just click on the download icon:

Please feel free to contact your child’s class teacher if you encounter any problems accessing the movie. Do be aware that the file size of the movie is quite large (around 850mb) and loading times to devices may take awhile.

Many regards,

The KS1 team
