Well done to Foxes with an amazing 99% attendance last week. Woodpeckers were 2nd on 96.7% and Grasshoppers were 3rd on 95.9%.
We are very excited that our first Friends of Watling Lower School event is taking place tomorrow, our sponsored Pancake Flip. Hopefully you have managed to gather lots of sponsorship from friends and family and we will let you know how many flips your child has made during their turn. For nursery, they will be having pancake races - balancing the pancake as they run around cones.
We are happy to accept cash donations - please place the money in a named envelope.
To make it easier, we have also made a Parentmail donation item so that you can pay directly to the school bank account. If you log into your account, go to the payments tab and then select the 'shop' you will see the payment item called Sponsored Pancake Flip.
We have our final Mastering Number Parent sessions coming up on Wednesday this week and it's for Grasshopper Class. Hopefully every child will have an adult who is attending with them on the day. The workshops start at 9am in the school hall and should last about an hour.
Please ensure you have completed this google form to confirm the name of the attending adult for your child's session. Each session is specific to that year group, so those with siblings will need to attend both sessions. Due to the nature of the workshop, we will unfortunately not be able to accommodate younger siblings.
These workshops have been successfully run at schools nationally so we how effective they can be in supporting parents to help their children.
Thursday 6th March is World Book Day. Hopefully everyone is ready to come dressed as one of their favourite book characters.
Thank you to everone who has also joined in with our Bookvent and wrapped up a favourite book to share with the class. The children will bring their book home again afterwards, the wrapping is just to add an element of excitement to opening the book before the class read it. The Bookvent runs for the whole month, opening one book a day, so it may be a while before it comes home again.
