From the team in the school office…
Dear Mums, Dads and carers,
ParentPay…
From this weekend, there is a link on our school website to the
ParentPay website. Thank you to those mums and dads who
have already signed up to pay for dinner money via this site.
World Book Day…
Please help your children to come to school on World Book
Day dressed as their favourite character from a book. There
are lots of exciting activities planned for that day, including
a book quiz. We have asked children to do lots and lots of
reading between now and next Thursday to be ready for
the book quiz.
World Book day events:
Assembly, whole school, to see everyone’s costume
Book Quizzes in class
Whole school book quiz, 2.30pm
Cake and book sale at 3.30pm
I am pleased that I have my costume organised and ready
for next Thursday. Parents please follow us on Twitter and
you will see many, many different costumes next Thursday.
Visiting teachers…
This week we have had a few teachers visiting Kender from
other schools. I am pleased to inform you that all of our
visitors commented on how calm and purposeful the
children were.
It’s really helpful to get this kind of feedback from teachers
who see and work in other schools.
One comment in our visitors book:
‘Excellent school…thank you…keep going!’
Standards in English & Maths books…
Ms Rolfe, who leads on English, and Ms Brown, who leads on
Maths, spent an afternoon working with colleagues from the
other schools scrutinising the standards of achievement in
English and Maths books from schools in our local
Collaborative. This is a valuable exercise to judge and learn
from other schools, seeing how they develop children’s
learning.
I am equally pleased to report that the standards in our
books are at least comparable if not stronger than books
evidenced from other schools.
Contact details/phone numbers…
Mums and dads it is essential that we always have the latest up
to date contact details. If you have changed your mobile
number please inform the Office Team as soon as possible.
