Weekly Newsletter 15th November 2024

Welcome to QRA Weekly!

Another learning-packed week at Queens Road!

Thank you for your support for Children In Need today - a very worthwhile cause and the children look great with their Pudsey costumes and Pudsey ears! It's always a pleasure to support such events in school, and the turnout for this today was wonderful.

School Photographs were taken yesterday and the children looked very smart. As soon as we are able to do so, we will inform you of their availability and where you can order them.

Mrs Cuthbert and I had a fantastic visit to another school on Tuesday to observe the Early Years practice at another school. Mrs Cuthbert is a bit of an EYFS expert and I was grateful that she could point out to me all the brilliant things that we can bring back and implement at Queens Road! It's a very exciting time to be at Queens Road and our EYFS in particular is shaping up wonderfully. The wonderful staff down there are working so hard on the classroom environment and it's paying dividends.

Thank you to those who attended our library session with Mrs Dutton on Thursday morning. As a reminder, we host a reading session whereby parents can pop in and read a book with children before school begins. Reading is so important to us and we'd love to see you there on Thursdays.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your support as always

Mr Smith
