Annie Lennard Primary School
Newsletter 26/1/18
The children have had a very busy week; we have had lots of visitors in school including Tesco Sid in Nursery and a visit from firefighters to give a talk to Year 4. On Thursday, a theatre company came in and all of the children watched a pantomime, which was fabulous.
Year 5 trip to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery
I am sorry I put the wrong date on last week’s newsletter. The trip is THURSDAY 1ST FEBRUARY.
Safer Internet Day
We would like to invite you into school on Tuesday 6th February 2018 to learn about internet safetywith your child.
9am - 10am – spend time with your child in their class learning about how to stay safe online.
10am - 10.45am – parent meeting in the hall, led by Sue Courtney Donovan from the Local Authority, about how to keep your child safe online.
10.45am – 11.15am – join your children in class again.
This is such an important issue we really hope lots of you can come along.
Due to the issues we will be covering, this will not be appropriate for younger brothers and sisters, so we are asking that it is only adults who come along for the morning.
NSPCC Number Day
Friday 2nd February we are doing ‘Dress up for Digits.’Children and staff are asked to come dressed in something with a number on. If you don’t have anything suitable, please don’t buy anything new but get your creative head on! The children will have a day of fun maths activities where they will get to apply all the skills they have been learning. We will be asking for a small donation for the NSPCC charity. More details will follow.
SATs
Year 6 will be doing their SATs tests the week of 14th-18th May2018. It is vitally important that the children are in school that week and for also the build up to that week.
During May, Year 2 children will do SATs tests and again it is really important that your child is in school.
We will be running parent meetings during February for parents in Year 2, Year 4, Year 5 and
Year 6 to give you information about the SATs. Please see the dates in ‘dates for your diary’.
