Johnston Community Primary School Friday 12th April 2024

Dear parents/guardians,

Unfortunately, the weather hasn't improved yet but the summer term has officially begun! It has been a calm and productive week in school with children launching straight into their new learning and topics. Pupils and staff alike can't wait for the field to dry out so that we can enjoy a traditional Johnston Summer!

Curriculum Corner

At the end of the half-term, we are going to be holding our annual summer fate which has been a lovely afternoon for all to enjoy. This year, we are working to enhance the learning element and on the Monday of the final week, we are going to launch into a financial literacy week. We are hoping to link each class with a local business so that they can learn more about the skills needed in the world of work. Each class is then going to run a small business to earn more and develop their life skills.

Save the date: Friday 24th May

Best wishes,

Mr. Williams.

Attendance Reminder

Well done to year five who achieved 95% attendance this week. You are our best class this week.

Don't forget the really useful guidance provided by the NHS: Is my child too ill for school?

This will help you make a decision about whether to keep a child off school or send them in. Please remember that minor coughs and colds should not prevent a child from coming into school.

This time of year is really exciting and busy. If children miss school they are not only missing learning, but often will miss lots of our special events and activities, which makes them feel left out.
