Dear Parents/Carers,

May I begin by extending a warm welcome back to you after the half term holiday. I hope that you had a good break despite the change in weather we seem to be having.

This week, our after-school wrap around service has begun. Thank you to those parents/carers who have signed up already.

We would like to remind parents regarding the procedure for using our Wraparound Care service:

· We must have a signed agreement form for each child before they can come to Wraparound Care. These are available from the school office.

· All bookings must be made by the Friday of the previous week, unless there are exceptional circumstances and it has been agreed with the school office/Headteacher.

· If you will be paying by Tax free Childcare or childcare vouchers, where possible please make payment in advance. If there is a delay with these types of payments please email admin@larkshill.patrust.org.uk to tell us the dates you wish to book.

This week, our Year 4 pupils completed their online multiplication check and we are very proud of their achievements. The results are submitted directly to the Department for Education and will be shared on the final pupil report to parents/carers. If anybody wishes to discuss the outcomes of the check, please contact Miss Jones who will be happy to discuss with you.

This week, the following pupils have been sent to see me with some of their work and I have been suitably impressed with the high quality and standard presented.

Theo C (EYFS) – For demonstrating excellent progress in his written work; writing sentences with correct letter formation and size which are correctly punctuated. Well done Theo!

Seb NM and Georgia T (Y5) – For evidencing excellent inference skills in reading this week and providing quality answers to questions relating to characters and events in the class reading book. Well done!

The following pupils have received a Headteacher Award and bonus House Points for their home reading achievements:

Monroe D, Spencer L, Sonny H, Ayda K, Leo D, Lochlan W.

Well done to all of these pupils for going above and beyond.

Heather - Year 4

The dinner menu next week will be week 3 from the new Summer menu

Next week, our Year 1 pupils will sit the Phonics Screening check. The pupils have received outstanding phonics teaching over the past few years, and we have every faith that they will achieve to the best of their abilities. Good luck to all of the pupils.

On Wednesday, the Year 6 class will go on their residential visit until the end of the week. There is already much excitement building from the pupils and we know that they will thoroughly enjoy the experience and have a great time accessing all of the activities that are planned. I am sure that there will be many photos taken that can be shared over the three days they are there. I wish them all a fabulous time!

I hope that you have a lovely weekend with your families,

Yours Sincerely,

Mrs Adams
