The Reading Ambassadors delivered their first assembly on Tuesday to KS2. The four members introduced themselves, talked about their favourite books and also gave some recommendations. They also gave an overview of the purpose of their roles and the first action they are going to take to promote reading. Each Friday, during Celebration Assembly, one of the Reading Champions will award a class a new book- this award will be based on the class with the best reading records. You can help your child’s class by making sure your child is reading everyday and filling in their reading diary.
It can be tricky deciding whether or not to keep your child off school when they are unwell.
It is fine to send your child to school with a minor cough or common cold. But if they have fever or a high temperature above 38oC, keep them off school until it goes away. If they are unwell for a couple of days, seek GP advice.
Children are expected to come to school in uniform each day. This includes wearing navy jumpers and fleeces. Please make sure all school uniform is named.
