The Appleton Echo

It's the end of the penultimate week of Autumn Term 1. Looking back on this long term, it's been a very busy one and a very successful one too. As you will see below, the children have had a fabulous time in school, as their topics come towards the half way period.

Next week is even busier. We've the Great Fire of London performance for Year 3/4 and the Disco to name a few.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

You may be aware that Mrs Kirkpatrick, our Year 3/4 class teacher, will be leaving us on Friday next week, as she commences her maternity period. I'm sure you will join us in wishing her all the very best and we look forward to seeing baby Kirkpatrick in the very near future!

Due to staff commitments, we've had to change the dates of our Y1/2 Christmas performances. The new dates are below:

Monday 11th December - 6pm-7pm - The School Hall

Tuesday 12th December - 10am-11am - The School Hal

Our Year 1/2 children have been studying the Great Fire of London as part of their learning journey. They will be putting on a special performance to their parents on the afternoon of Tuesday 24th October. Miss Brough will be updating on the finer details through Class Dojo.

We start the new academic year expecting an Ofsted Inspection at some point in the year. We are certainly well overdue!

You can really help us by completing the Ofsted Parent View online survey. It's a short series of questions that should take you no longer than 10 minutes. Of course, when we do get the call, you'll get another opportunity to share your views.

A polite reminder that we have children in school who have severe nut allergies. Please ensure that you do not bring nuts on to the school site or include them in packed lunches.

Thank you for your support with this.

I've had a few messages from parents/carers asking about how they can send a staff shoutout for a staff team. It's great that you think about them and really does help to raise morale.
