Primary School Update (3 March 2023)

Weekly update from Head of Primary

Dear Parents,

Book Week is always a wonderful time of year in the Primary school with many reading activities taking place throughout the week. Ms. Harvey and Mrs. Hayward our Primary Literacy Leaders love nothing more than snuggling up in a cosy nook with a good book and this week they invited all of our primary students to do just that in their library lessons. PJs? Check! Cuddly toy? Check! Good book? Check! That was all that was needed to enjoy and we hope everyone enjoys this at home too.

It has been lovely seeing parents coming to share their favourite stories with the children this week as well. Thank you to all parents: our teachers have loved the experience.

Book Week came to a wonderful crescendo with our Book Day parade this morning in the auditorium with every dressed up as characters from their favourite books. A colourful array of costumes and creative ideas from the students and parents was on display. Well done to everyone for another fantastic Book Week with special thanks to Ms. Hall, Ms Harvey and Mrs. Hayward for making it a week to remember.

Mr. Watkins led a wonderful Parent Connect session this morning with a focus on supporting children’s wellbeing. The main purpose of the workshop was explaining the Zones of regulation, a tool that helps children and adult recognise and talk about their feelings. It was an informative and engaging presentation with some useful takeaway strategies for parents. Thank you to everyone who came along.

In the coming weeks we will host workshops on E-safety and on the value of Sleep with Dr. Mattias Larson, on the 9th and 14th of March respectively.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Rebecca Carroll
