Please note the school closes on Friday 1 April at 2.30 p.m. for the Easter break. All children will start on Tuesday 19 April at 9.00 a.m.
Your child will be coming home with their annual report card today and I hope you feel very proud reading about their progress and achievements over the last school session. Also included is a feedback form. It would be great if you would sit with your child to complete this and return it to school next week. Along with the report card is the current RSHP curriculum and vocabulary that your child’s class will be covering in Term 4. This information is included to ensure that you are kept informed about future learning objectives.
*Please remember to book an appointment to receive a telephone call from your child’s teacher.
If you wish any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Primary 6 have been so excited to met their new buddies from the ECC! The children have had two sessions where they have had time to get to know their buddies and begin to prepare them for their move to the ‘big school’.
Staff have been so impressed with how Primary 6 have communicated with and cared for their buddies and you can see in the photos how much fun the children have had together. Our ECC pupils seem very happy and confident and we look forward to more sessions ahead.
On Wednesday 30 March staff will again be able to phone our parents/carers for a chat, with each slot lasting 10 minutes. Parents/carers should phone the school office on 01290 551436 to ‘book’ their time slot. We will also be asking which phone number you would like your child’s teacher to phone you on to ensure that we get through (please have this available).
Appointments will be available every 10 minutes from 3.30pm to 5.20pm, and then from 6.00pm to 7.50pm. Please ensure that you have your phone switched on, and note that the teacher’s call will display as ‘NO Caller ID’.
Our teachers are looking forward to speaking with you, and updating you about what your child is focusing on in class and how they are progressing with their learning in Term 3.
Thank you

Once again I would like to say a huge thank you to all the families who have been engaging with our maths activities at home. It is great to read your comments and hear how much fun you are having with maths at home.
As part of our partnership this year with National Numeracy I am delighted that the charity are offering us a parent workshop. Due to ongoing restrictions this will take place over Zoom. This is a great opportunity for parents to work alongside the staff at National Numeracy and gain more information on our successful project with them this year.
A note from National Numeracy:-
Parental engagement in children’s learning has a large and positive effect on children. We want to support parents to engage positively with our pupils’ maths learning.
Therefore, we are inviting all parents and carers to attend a workshop with the charity National Numeracy.
The workshop is not a maths lesson, nor does it cover any maths learning, but is focused on fostering positive attitudes towards numeracy and tips for ensuring your children develop these too.
The session will cover the importance of maths in the real world, being positive about maths and how to boost your own number skills.
We would be delighted to welcome you to the session.
DATE: Tuesday 22nd March
TIME: 1.15pm – 2.15pm
LOCATION: Zoom
Here is the Zoom link for the session:
