Daily Writing

Writing, by hand, on a regular basis is very important for our students.  Providing stimuli and encouraging free writing has many benefits, including:

• Improving stamina
• Building creativity
• Providing a vehicle for ‘student voice’
• Linking to other areas of curriculum
• Targeting ‘on the spot’ intervention – whole class and individual
• Building student perception of themselves as writers
• Giving opportunities for handwriting – cursive script by end of year 3

Ask your child what they wrote about, today. 

Classes 2025

As parents, you are reminded to share relevant information relating to your child’s learning and any particular personality clashes that you would like us to consider, through this link, which will close on Friday:

Parent voice in this process, does not include requesting certain friends or particular teachers.

Please do not send emails with 2025 information, as it may not be captured. 

Although we do utilise some software in the process of forming classes, be reassured that our teachers, admin and inclusion team have ‘human input’ at each stage of the process.

As always, when classes are formed, they remain in draft until day 8 of 2025, when our staffing is confirmed.  If our staffing allocation changes, new classes may be formed impacting class configurations.

Uniform Reminders

A few uniform reminders:

• Predominately black shoes.
• Plain analogue or ‘fitbit’ watches; no Space Watches or Apple Watches.
• Plain hair ties or hair bands.
• No make up permitted.
