We have finally reached half-term and after nearly 8 weeks of learning we think the children have all earned this break. So much learning has already taken place and it's been lovely to see the classes settle back into the routine of school. Thank you for all your support and help this term - it's much appreciated. 

It was lovely this week to see the children’s completed homework tasks. They had a great time sharing their work with their peers and were all very proud of what they had completed. Thank you for supporting your children with this. We cannot wait to see what they complete next term! 

On the 10th October, SLT met with our Parent Council. Lots was discussed and we got some great feedback on things that would help to make Marden even better. One suggestion was to have the opportunity for parents to come and check in with the teachers at the start of the term to find out what the children will be learning. We have therefore decided that moving forward we will be having an open event for this on the first Wednesday of each term at 3.15 - 4.00pm. A letter with more information on this will be shared with you today. If anyone else would be interested in joining our Parent Council please email the office. 

When we get back on Monday 6th November, we are straight into our events for Remembrance followed swiftly by the festive sparkle that won't yet be mentioned! 

I hope you all have a lovely half term.

Mrs H Penning
