Dear Parents and Carers,
It’s been another busy and exciting week here at Kings Academy Northern Parade, and it’s been wonderful to see so much going on around the school. Year 4 have started their swimming lessons, and they are absolutely loving it! It’s been fantastic to watch their confidence grow in the water and to hear their excitement after each session. The onsite pool has been a real success so far, making it so much easier for the children to access swimming lessons and really enjoy the experience. Bikeability has also gone really well this week, with the children showing great focus, determination, and awareness while out on their bikes – we are so proud of them!
We are really looking forward to our charity fundraising day next Tuesday, 20th January. Each child will be taking part in a collaborative virtual marathon, and it promises to be a really fun and memorable day for everyone. Please, please, please help us by raising as much sponsorship as you can – this is for a charity that is very close to our hearts, and every little bit really does make a difference. On the day, children should come to school in their PE kit, ready to run, cheer each other on, and have a great time as a school community.
I also want to say a huge thank you to all the parents who have been able to attend the phonics workshops so far this term. They’ve been a brilliant opportunity to explore how we teach phonics, to find out more about the statutory Phonics Screening Check, and to see the strategies we use to help the children succeed. It’s always such a pleasure to welcome you into school and share this learning with you.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the Year 5 science trip next Friday, 23rd January. These trips are such a wonderful chance for the children to explore, discover, and get hands-on with their learning, and I know they are going to have a fantastic day.
A quick reminder that we have an INSET day on Friday 13th February, so school will be closed for staff training on that day. We’re also busy planning lots of exciting Easter events, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you very soon – it’s going to be so much fun for the children.
Thank you as always for your continued support. It really makes a huge difference to our school community, and I feel so lucky to be part of such a positive and engaged school family.
