Dear parents and carers,

We have got our parents' evening coming up and this year it will be carried out via a telephone call appointment. These calls will be made in the week beginning 19th October. You will receive a letter next week inviting you to sign up for a slot that is convenient for your child's class teacher to discuss with you how they have settled in to class.

You will also have received a letter via your child's homework email address regarding pupil email addresses. Your child will have a label in their planner with an email address and password on. Please use the email address to send a 'test' email as detailed in the letter. This is so that we know everyone is up and running for if children need to access learning from home as part of our Covid -19 contingency plan.

Many thanks for your continuing support.

Mrs Lorraine Jukes

Headteacher

Harvest Celebrations Harvest celebrations have started! Unfortunately our KS2 children have been unable to attend the Harvest Festival celebration this year however we have been able to enjoy a virtual assembly from St Lawrence’s Church where we have learnt about thankfulness through story. The children have also enjoyed creating some wonderful art work which will be displayed in St Lawrence’s Church throughout the Harvest season to mark the occasion.

We have also been learning how the food banks in Stoke-on Trent support the community in times of need. If you would like to make a food bank donation you are welcome to take any tinned or packaged food item to St Lawrence’s Church. Thank you for any donation you make.

All reception children have

been gifted a book from the

BookTrust to encourage

reading together at home.
