Welcome to West Meadows Weekly!
A big thank you to all the parents who attended Parents’ Evening this week and last. It was lovely to see so many of you there. I would also like to thank Mr Steads and the HCAT catering team for providing a taster menu of our new school meals. Menus will be emailed out to parents next week and will start after the Easter holidays. We are hoping that this will provide more variety and choice for the children with a four week menu plan.
We have some Compass Be workshops coming up before Easter for children, including Peer Relationship workshops for our children in Years 4 and 6 and a workshop with Year 6 to support them in managing their upcoming SATS.
Could we please remind all parents that children need the correct PE kit in school for PE days. This should be:
Black or blue sport shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms.
House t-shirt (or white t.shirt if no house coloured t.shirt)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs Smith who has taught Year 4 for the last term as this is her last week with us in school. We wish her all the best for the future and thank her for her hard work and support with the children. We would like to welcome Mrs Cameron into school who will be teaching Year 4 from next week and joining West Meadows as a permanent member of the team! We would also like to welcome Miss Peet as a teaching assistant who has taken over in Year 2 from Miss McSloy while Miss Smith is on maternity leave. We look forward to welcoming Miss Smith back in May this year.
Could we please remind all parents that when waiting in the Reception area, please not to press the green button and let other parents or visitors into the school. While we understand this is only ever to be helpful, for safeguarding reasons, only members of staff should let in visitors. Many thanks for your support with this.
On Wednesday 2nd April we are holding an Easter craft session for children, parents and family of Year 3 children in the hall at 2pm. This will be a chance to make some Easter crafts with your children as well as meet with Mrs Maree and Miss Hall to have an informal chat. We look forward to seeing you there.
This year we are holding an Easter bonnet and egg competition on Friday, 4th April. Children across school can choose to either decorate an Easter bonnet or an egg and bring it in on the last day of term. There will be prizes awarded for the best entries in each class – we cannot wait to see your fabulous creations.
Every Friday we will celebrate our children’s achievements, both in school and at home, including their attendance in school. Good attendance is vital for your child’s education and means they can make the most of all aspects of school life. We really need your support this year to raise our attendance. If you need any help or support please come and see Mrs Maree. You can see your own child’s attendance for the year and the last 4 weeks on the Arbor App. An attendance of 97% or above is considered to e good attendance.
