Newsletter 2nd February 2012

 

Message from Mrs Youngs

Thank you for your continued support. Our Parents evenings will be in the week commencing 27th February. Letters will be sent out shortly with dates and times. If you have any concerns before then please do get in touch. You can always leave a message with the office and either myself or Mrs Bygrave will be in touch.

Joint Year 2 / Year 3 Maths Day

Year 2 children from Diss Infants School have joined us this week to work with Year 3.

They looked at Mondrian art , played Big Maths games, read the story ‘Place for Zero’ and made numeracy crowns.

‘MyMaths’

Well done to all the children for regularly logging in to ‘MyMaths’ and completing their weekly tasks. The feedback from children is positive. Parents, please let us know what you think!

Just a couple of reminders – if you have problems accessing the Internet, please get in touch. We can arrange for our ICT Suite to be available to parents to support their children’s homework activities.

Also, don’t forget to ‘checkout’ at the end of tasks then scores can be saved.

Norfolk County Library Books

As you will know from previous newsletters we had a number of County Library books that were not returned to school and the school is charged for any books we do not send back. Therefore we have come to the decision that if any book taken out on loan by your child is not returned, you will be charged the cover price.

LOST PROPERTY

Please come in and check for property you may have lost. If it was named it should have already been returned but we have a number of items with no names.

It would help us tremendously if you could please make sure anything brought into school is clearly named.

Any property not claimed will be disposed of at the end of this half term.
