A New Year!
What better way to start the new year than everybody sharing a
thought-provoking, funny, surprising and hugely entertaining
theatre experience. As I am sure your children have told you,
Cinderella at the Tobacco Factory was all of these! A really big
Thank You
to the Friends of the Schools for enabling this to happen.
Term 3 is always a relatively quiet term, a very important
couple of months to really focus on core learning so please keep
going with the support from home for reading and homework tasks.
One thing we are planning is a ‘No pens day’ in school on Jan
24. This is based on a national initiative to focus both
teachers and pupils on the importance of verbal communication
and teaching, practicing and learning the skills of speaking and
listening. More details to follow.
