Key dates and messages
In assembly on Monday we all watched a short 4 minute clip about how to form good habits. (See clip!) Can your children remember any of the key ideas? (Can they fill in the missing words below?) In the coming weeks we will be asking the children to try some of these ideas and see if they work. I hope to have a few volunteer guinea pigs from each year to share their experience of trying to form a good learning habit and what tips or techniques they would recommend for someone trying in the future.
How are the habits of learning with your children going at home?
Do you have any tips or techniques that you would be happy to share with the rest of the parent population?
Let us know on this form! https://forms.gle/ea1DWmKG86oCk2AK7
Habits in the classroom. I have been walking around classes observing some of the learning habits during teacher input. It was a pleasure to observe the vast majority of children focused, listening carefully and avoiding other distractions. This is not easy on a warm Tuesday afternoon. Well done to all of the children for developing their learning habits!
Author Visit HANNAH GOLD!
On TUESDAY 26th SEPTEMBER, author HANNAH GOLD will be visiting the school to meet the children and sign some books. ‘The Last Bear’ is a popular book with the children (and adults) in school and we jumped at the opportunity to bring Hannah in to talk about her experiences as a writer, and her new book - ‘Finding Bear’.
To pre-order copies of the books, ready to be signed and dedicated at school on the day, please click the link below and place your order through Chiltern Bookshops by 5pm, MONDAY 25th SEPTEMBER.

Mr Hyde and Miss Marriot
Summer Competitions REMINDER
Well done to all of the children who took part in the library Reading challenge and school Doodle challenge. We have a few entries to the reading in a funny place photo - please take a minute to find a good spot, take an image and send it in to support the children running the competition! See Mr Flint, Ms Brauka and Imogen for some inspiration!

Stationery sets
Save yourself the summer stationery shopping stress and buy now! Sourced by Mr Flint so all of the equipment in the packs is school approved!
The flash sale price has unfortunately finished so packs will now be priced at a very competitive £10 (still far cheaper than you can source on the high street!) and can be ordered via: www.pta-events.co.uk/folg. The pack contains 2 writing pens, a green pen, 2 HB pencils, a pair of scissors (you can specify right or left handed), Pritt Stick, eraser, Boogie sharpener, 30 cm ruler, whiteboard pen, highlighter all contained in a clear pencil case. These can then be sent straight to your child's classroom or be held at the school office for you to pick up.
