Another week done at the school and what can I say but how proud we all are about how hard all the children have worked this last week.
All the children and teachers were supporting our Year 6 children as they took their SATs exams this week and we are proud of every single one of them.
The Shrek Rehearsals are picking up pace with lots more practice to come before the big show in just over a months time!
The assembly theme this week was about Mental Health Awareness weeks theme of ‘Community’, the character focus was on Helpfulness and Collaboration.
For the final week of this very brief half term, it’s Walk to School Week, so let’s get those steps in! The character focus will be on Caring and Compassion.
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 and is every day.
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…..
4 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 69 children who achieved 100% Attendance for this week, which is Fantastic!!
A huge WELL DONE to you all.
Can you get 100% next week?
This term, although it has been very short, year 3/4 have worked very had once again.
The term began with us going swimming, the children all made excellent progress and it was wonderful to see some children reach their first goal and others stretch themselves even further.
In writing, we began writing a non-chronological report about the Ancient Egyptians. The children were able to compile all of their knowledge of our previous history project into a fantastic piece of writing. We are now writing a persuasive letter to Mrs Hood to persuade her to get things for our school. Hopefully, our persuasive writing will work!
In reading, we have been reading a report about the Mayans and we have retrieved information about them and this will support us in our future learning. We also learned lots of information about them because of what they left behind for archaeologists to discover. We are now reading, Bird Song and the children can’t wait to find out what the tragedy maybe in the book.
In maths, we have continued our learning about measures, we have learned about length, height, weight and capacity. We have been able o convert between different units of measurement, compare different measures and solve problems too.
In science, we finished our topic of forces and we have now moved onto our new topic about plants. We have started learning the parts of plants and why they are important to he life cycle of a plant.
In geography, we have been learning about mountains and how they are formed and what the water cycle is and why it is so important.
As part of our PSHE work, we have also discussed the importance of sleep. We have talked about why routines are important, not using screens before bed and what we can also drink to help us sleep better. We have further talked about the effects of a good nights sleep and how it can help us feel mentally better.
Our lunches are served on a 3 week rotation, next week will be week 1.
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.
