Vote for the Boat!
Thank you to all who entered the Wormit Boat Club Competition. We have a short list of three names and each child has until 9am on Monday to vote for their favourite. The link to do this was included in the email with this link. Please support your child to vote over the weekend.
Reports
If your child is in P1-7 or their pre-school nursery year (and this is their main setting) you will receive their report today. In with the report, you will find some information about curriculum levels, a feedback sheet and some information about attendance.
Please return the feedback sheet to your child’s current teach by Wednesday 28th June. They will pass it onto the new teacher for their information.
Transition Arrangements Next Week
On Monday, all children who will be in P1-7 next year will meet and work with Mr Rose (Principal Teacher at Wormit). The new P1s will come into school for the middle section of the day and will have lunchtime with the primary classes.
On Wednesday, Mr Pellow will be back in for a visit. the new P1 children should line up at the front door instead of going to Nursery. The new P5 children shoudl line up at their new door. The current P7s will work with Mrs Robertson on a Transition task. The new P-7s will work with their new teacher.
Attendance in 2023-24
Please click here to read the Madras Communication Strategy Attendance June 23. This information is shared with all schools in the Madras Cluster as we have a common approach to promoting excellent attendance at school. This information will be in the envelop with your child’s report.
At Wormit, in session 2023-24, we will regularly share your child’s attendance rate with you if their attendance in 2022-23 was below 95% (excellent).
In session 2023-24, we are also going to promote excellent punctuality at school. All P1-7 pupils arriving after 9.10am have their name recorded in the late book. I will be reviewing the late book at the end of each month and will contact you if your child’s name has been recorded. The best start a child can get to their day at school is to be in the line ready to come in with their class at 9am and I encourage all parents to strive for that.
Frozen
Some Wormit pupils are performing in Frozen – a great show which your family might enjoy:
