Good evening,
Thank you to all of those of you who have already signed up for the Parent's Consultation Evenings after half term, do pop into the cloakroom and find an available time slot!
A big well done and thank you to all of you who managed to bring in bottles and cereal boxes - everyone has a papier mache sculpture in the making - we can't wait for glue to dry so that we can either add another layer, finish a layer or begin painting!!!!!!!! Get ready to dive into our underwater world display very soon. I also cannot wait to see the creative home learning projects come in after half term - these will really add the finishing touches to our display!
2 important requests:
1. Recently, there have been some "falling - out" incidents among some friendship groups, of course we have dealt with each issue and had several jigsaw/pshce lessons in order to address problems. Please could you continue discussions at home to reinforce our class rights and responsibilities, how we all deserve respect but also that we should respect others, thinking about other people's feelings and the words we use as well as keeping our hands and feet to ourselves! We would really appreciate your support in maintaining an approach of continuity between school and home as in our home/school agreement. Thank you!
2. It also came to my attention, yesterday, that there is an app that some children in the class are accessing on their devices at home called "kik"- it is a free messaging app, but following a discussion, there have been some instances of children saying unkind things to each other via a group chat, they also told me that quite often "unknown" people appear and say inappropriate things, which has concerned some children. I have been assured that these "strange" people cannot contact you personally unless you click to accept them! I would like to make you aware of this so that you are able to guide, advise and monitor your children reinforcing the e-safety messages we promote regularly at school.
Thank you again for your support in these matters and if you would like to discuss any of them further, please do come in and see me!
