Value of the Month - CURIOSITY

During the month of December, we will focusing on our school value – Curiosity

Curiosity is an important value and life skill we want all of our children to develop. The urge to explore and seek helps us to gain knowledge about our constantly changing environment. Curiosity prepares the brain for learning and when we area curious about a subject, we are much more likely to remember information we learned about that subject.

Curious people are also known to be happier.

Attendance and Leave of Absence Policy

A summary of the school’s Attendance and Leave of Absence Policy is available on the school website. If you are intending to ask for leave of absence during term time for your child then please read this policy first.

Preparing for bad weather

It is very likely that over the coming months it is likely to snow. In preparations for this, can you please ensure that your child is well prepared when coming into school if it has snowed. The children often enjoy sometime outside when it snows. It is therefore important that all children have a suitable winter coat, and a change of wellington boots/ boots so they can go outside in the snow during a playtime, if it is safe for them to do so. Please ensure all items are named. I am sending this out now as I would not want to disappoint any children by keeping them inside when their peers are outside enjoying the snow.
