Friday is here once again and it’s been an amazing week in the school.
Some of our KS2 children have been taking part in Bikeability and learning how to keep safe on very busy roads.
School Picture day was on Wednesday and they have already been sent out with the children to take home so parents can decide what pictures you would like.
Lastly, today is Red Nose Day with all the donations from children dressing up in red and looking amazing, we have raised £88.15! A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated.
The character focus this week was on Caring and Independence.
Next week is British Science Week and the character focus is on Reflection and Collaboration.
8.30am Gates open
8.35am Staff come outside and lines begin to go in.
8.40am. School starts. Arrival after this time is classed as late.
8.41 am- 9.10am Children receive a late mark in the register. L code
9.11am onwards -Children receive a U code which classes the lateness as an unauthorised half day absence. This will affect their attendance percentage.
We appreciate at times lateness may be due to a medical appointment. If medical evidence is seen, an M-code is used instead of a U code. This will authorise the absence, although the attendance percentage will still be affected.
Any 5 days of unauthorised absence in a 10 week rolling period will trigger a phone call and the start of involvement from the attendance team across Wilton and Dormanstown.
This can be combination of U-codes or full day absence.
From Monday, you will receive a weekly text message from the Department of Education stating how many days absence your child has had this year. Please keep this to times your child is genuinely too ill to come to school.
Please help your child have the best start to the day by being on time. If you need any support or have any questions then please contact the Academy to discuss it.
Don’t forget to see reminders and stories about what your child is learning in school from Class Dojo.
It also shows parents/carers what the children have been getting points for, including being on time, working hard during class and good manners to teachers and their friends.
Please could we remind you that parking outside of the school on Pasture Lane is not permitted. On the school side, this is clearly marked out as a no parking zone. This applies on a morning, home time and throughout the day. Parking on the other side blocks the road and it makes it difficult for cars to pass and makes it unsafe for children. If you need to drive to school, please park on the High Street, the Grange Estate or further round Pasture Lane to ensure the road and paths around the school grounds are clear and safe for adults and children.
Did you know we do a breakfast club every morning?
You can bring your child in, knowing they’ll get a good breakfast before they start school. This is open to everyone and can be booked in the clubs section on the school gateway app.
It costs £1.20 for each morning your child attends.
Attendance every day is vital for your child’s progress unless they are too unwell to learn. It is your responsibility to inform the academy if your child is going to be absent by 8.40am each day of their absence.
Please note if your child is later than 9.10am, it is counted by the DfE as a half day absence.
You can contact the office on 01642 453374.
This weeks best attendance goes to…..
2 day of missed learning occurred this week due to unauthorised absences. Unauthorised absences are for holidays, parents/carers not contacting the academy or any other unexplained. With most minor ailments, children can be in school, so we really encourage you to think about keeping your child at home.
This week we had 71 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week, which is Absolutely Amazing!!
A huge WELL DONE to you all.
Can you get 100% next week?
This half term has been very busy! We have lots of exciting things happening but still lots of hard work has taken place too,
In writing, we started by writing a newspaper report about Krindlekrax and how he has been roaming the streets of Lazenby. We even gathered opinions of some of the residents of the village and they explained how scared they were!
In reading, we began by reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid and we all laughed out loud at certain parts. The children thoroughly loved comparing American and English terms throughout the book and understanding how Greg is rather mischievous throughout the book.
In maths, we completed some work on statistics and enjoyed reading different scales and keys to support us to get to the relevant answer. We have also looked in detail at shape, angles and different types of lines too.
In R.E, we have been we have been learning about Christianity, we began by learning about the Annunciation, Advent, Lent and Easter. We understood that because of all these events in the Christian religion is the reason why we celebrate different holy days throughout the year. We also made links to other religions such as some of the similarities to the religion of Islam.
As part of our history work, we have began learning about the Ancient Egyptians and we can’t wait to find out more!
As part of the computing curriculum, we have been learning how to use Scratch to create a series of backgrounds, sprites and link these together to tell a short story or interact with each other.
In French, we have continued learning about how we can ask others about their feelings and tell others about our own too.
Our Lunches are served on a 3 week rota. The menu next week will be Week 3.
If you provide a packed lunch for your child please can we remind you of the following information:
All the above information is to ensure children have a healthy packed lunch whilst taking into account the safety of themselves and others.
