015 We ha
ad a great starrt to the new term last week! It was nice to see th
he children in
n school lookin
ng fit and heaalthy after the
eir break. In the two weekss before Christmas, our non
n‐
dance tumbled
d from 2.8% to 3.4% due to
o the sickness bug that has been hitting sschools and soome classes w
were down by 50%. attend
Hopefully this has n
now passed bu
ut we are impressing upon the children tthe importancce of hand waashing and being dressed priately in thee poor weatheer. Many of yo
ou promote thhat message aat home, thank you! approp
We ma
anaged to ach
hieve a great deal last wee
ek. •

u know childreen are currenttly levelled in their work ussing the National Curriculum
m levels e.g. 22A, 3B etc. Fro
om September levels as we know them w
will be disappearing. This w
will be a huge shift in the cu
ulture of assesssment. This iss a significant piece of reform and h we have deccided to workk alongside a ffew other Wa ndsworth schools as we de
evelop our sysstem. Mrs Harre and I attend

der children oon their underrstanding of so
ocial ng. Did you know that childrren under the

ould not networkin
be registered on Faccebook, Instaggram and most social netw
work sites? Do you know wh
ho are on friennd’s lists? Havve you met them? Just a few tthings to think about. Everyy year we havve a few issuess with older children in Yea
ars 5 and 6 whho shouldn’t b

mselves in sch
