Congratulations to Year 2.
As you are probably aware, the government introduced a phonics check for Year 2 this term. This is a national assessment. I am delighted to tell you that 90% of our Year 2 children passed the phonics screening test. Fantastic, we are very proud of you!
Staff Update
Miss Whitley’s heart operation has been postponed several times, due to the pandemic. She is well within herself, however her sick note has been extended. For the foreseeable future, Mrs Claxton and Mrs Cox will continue to cover the Year 1 class.
Christmas Cards
Children are more than welcome to bring in Christmas Cards to give to their friends. However, as part of the Covid regulations, we are quaratining cards for 48 hours before they are being sent home. Therefore, the last day the children can bring in cards is Wednesday.
Look out for our Christmas Podcast next week!
