Newsletter No: 6 Date: 9 October 2007 Reception Year and Year 1 Parents ? Reading Workshop Opportunity In collaboration with Marylands Nursery School, we are offering an opportunity for you to come to an evening session being led by Neil Griffiths. He will be offering advice on early reading skills and how you can help your child to read and enjoy books. There are only ten places available within each class and therefore we will have to allocate places in the order of responses. The session is free to our parents and parents from Marylands. Staff from other local nurseries will also be present. This event is being managed by Marylands and held in our school hall. Any queries relating to this event should initially be made to the school office. Reminder from Newsletter No 2 - Year 6 High School Transfer Meeting I have invited Mrs Sue Wilson who co-ordinates the secondary admission process in this area to a meeting on Wednesday 10th October at 5.30pm to go through the process and answer any questions. High school ?Open Evening? dates have been published in the Events Diary that was attached. Parents who are unable to attend the High School ?Open Evenings? are encouraged to make an appointment with the high school at another time. Book Week We have all had a great time celebrating book week, sharing our favourite stories with each other in class. Some children have looked at books with an environmental theme and the older children have been busy designing brochures to advertise a camp site described in their class novel. For Poetry Day (4th October) we copied out poems in our best handwriting and examples of our work will soon be on display in the entrance hall.
