RAMADAN ARRANGEMENTS (Years 3-6)

This letter was sent home with pupils in the week commencing Monday 13th March and is available to view in the link below.

 

Dear Parents / Carers

RAMADAN ARRANGEMENTS (Years 3 – 6)

As a school, we are aware that Ramadan will be starting for our Muslim families over the holidays and understand that some children within the Junior school may wish to fast.

In order that we can best support your child during the day, we ask that you indicate below the days that your child will be fasting.

However, we do request you are mindful of the demands on your children during the school day and are considerate of the impact of fasting on the children’s hydration and focus levels before giving permission for your child to fast in school.  Pupils will be expected to take part in all areas of the core curriculum and school day.  They will not be supervised separately during this time.

It is also important that parents discuss with their children, that they are able to break their fast if they are struggling and need to.

I wish you well with Ramadan and your forthcoming celebrations.  Please return the attached slip to your child’s class teacher by Friday 17th March if your child will be fasting when Ramadan commences.

Yours sincerely

MRS KAREN JONES
Headteacher

NURSERY MUSIC FOR CHANGE PROGRAMME

Dear Parents / Carers

NURSERY MUSIC FOR CHANGE PROGRAMME

As part of the enrichment of the EYFS curriculum in Nursery, we have trained practitioners from Creative Futures UK coming in to work with our Nursery pupils.  There is no cost to our parents for this programme to take place.

The aims of the project are to give children new musical experiences, and to support children’s development in music; creativity; personal, social and emotional development; and communication and language skills.  Above all, the aim is for children to have fun and build on their natural musicality.

These music sessions will take place during the normal school day.  The music activities will include singing, playing instruments (instruments which the Nursery teachers have in class), creating sounds and music together.  All activities will be delivered in groups, assisted by Nursery staff.

Below are the dates the practitioners will be in:

  • Wednesday 18th January
  • Wednesday 1st February
  • Wednesday 1st March
  • Wednesday 15th March
  • Wednesday 29th March
  • Wednesday 19th April
  • Wednesday 3rd May
  • Wednesday 17th May
  • Wednesday 7th June
  • Wednesday 21st June

We hope this will be a lovely experience for all of our pupils.

Yours sincerely
