Mrs N’s Notes, 25.11.22
Week 3 menus coming up:
OPEN HOUR – FOR P.2-P.7 PUPILS
It has been wonderful welcoming P.1 and nursery families in to see your children at work earlier this session. Now it is time for P.2 – P.7 parents and carers!
We look forward to welcoming you along on Wednesday afternoon (30.11.22) to visit your child at work in their classroom. Be prepared to join in as we plan an afternoon of STEM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics).
Classrooms will open at 1.45pm for an hour. We ask that all visitors enter and leave using the main entrance. At the end we will ensure you have time to leave and head to your usual collection spot before the children are dismissed from their normal playground doors at 3pm.
We would ask that you don’t remove your child from class early. It will become unmanageable for teachers to track everyone if pupils start disappearing at different times. Everyone will be dismissed from their usual doors at 3pm sharp.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS FOR P.2-7 ONLY. P.1 parents and nursery families have already had the chance to visit this session.
