PARENT’S EVENING FOR CLASS 3Miss Bennett has started

 working with Class 3 and is very 

keen to get to know your

children as quickly as possible.

 We have been working with Miss

Bennett so that she is ready to

plan exciting work for the Year 2

and Year 3 children in her care.

 As I have previously said, we are

in the process of arranging a 

parent’s evening for the parents

of Class 3 children. I am looking 

for this to take place in the first

couple of weeks back in January;

this gives Miss Bennett chance

to get the know the children

really well.

 AUTUMN TERM 2011

SCHOOL BUILDING WORK

It has been interesting to look

 back over the newsletters this

term to see how the building 

 work has progressed. It is

difficult to see the building with

all the fencing and cabins that

surround it. I have been visiting 

the site regularly over the past

few weeks and I am pleased to see

that the progress is very quick

now.

The classrooms should be ready 

for us to move into from the 12th 

December. On Friday 9th 

December, Classes 4 and 5 will be

 working together in the hall as

the building contractors help us

to move furniture from Class 4

and the hall into the new 

classrooms. We have ordered new 

furniture for these classrooms

 which should be with us by the

end of the term...so come the New 

 Year, all will be very smart and

ready for some fantastic learning 

opportunities to take place!

I am in the process of arranging 

an ‘official opening’ ceremony in

the New Year...more details to

follow soon!

COMPETITION

I have asked the children if they 

 would like to enter a competition;

the winners of the competition

 will be chosen to help ‘cut the

ribbon’ as our school extension is

officially opened...one child from

the Infants and one from the

Juniors.

For the competition, I would like

the children to design what they see as their ideal classroom...or a 

classroom of the future...or what

they would like a classroom to

BUILDING WORK UPDATE

...and our new front door...we can’t wait to have a door again and Mrs

Stubbs is looking forward to getting 

back into her office! Oil tank goes next 

week too!

Yes...I have been told that in two and 

a bit weeks, it will be ready! Radiators

being installed along the glass-walled 

corridor...paint and carpet in the next 

few days...

look like. This can be presented

on a piece of A4 or A3 paper as a 

plan drawing or a picture. It can

 be coloured and have labels/notes

to explain the different parts. I

 will ask members of the school

staff and governors to judge the

competition.

Can all entries be in school

 before the end of the school

term? Winners will be

announced in the New Year,

ready for our grand opening!

REMINDERCan I please remind you that we

have recently sent out letters

about theatre visits for both the

Infants and Juniors. We would be

grateful for the return of slips

and the money as soon as

possible so that the final

arrangements can be made.
