Meet the Teacher Evening
This was held last Thursday 26th February and it was delightful to see
the number of parents and children who attended and were
interacting with the teachers. I was also pleased that I was able to
deliver my message to the parents and will include that message on
our website.
Open Day
We will be holding an Open Day later in the term on 24th March 2015
and there will also be a Parent Teacher Student Conferences at the
beginning of Term Two (April 28-29). By then we will have our
students data from our March testing and this will help us to work on
next step learning for each child.
Teachers Only Day
We would like to thank you all for keeping your children home on our
Teachers Only Day on Friday 27th February. We had a very intensive
day of learning with Jill Eggleton, who is a real reading guru, and who
gave us a huge amount of resources and thinking about how we can
make our reading programmes support your childrens learning more
effectively. Once again we appreciate your support and cooperation
for that day.

OMG Tech Rangers

Last Saturday some children were chosen to attend the OMG Tech
Rangers Event hosted at our school. This was an amazing event and
we hope to be more involved with this organisation in the future. We
would certainly like to thank the volunteers from OMG and some of
our parents for giving up their Saturday and for sponsoring MEP
students to go to this event. Our children learnt about robotics, how
to use 3-D printers and how to pull apart machines (DVD drivers etc.)
to ]ind out how they work and various physical science activities.
Parent Teacher Interaction
I require the teachers at our school to teach all day. To ensure
teachers are not interrupted the large gate entrance will be unlocked
at 2.50 pm to allow parents to come in. However once you are in the
school ground please do not interrupt the class and talk to the
teacher or children during this time of teaching. Please avoid coming
through the of]ice area at this time as well.
If you do want to discuss anything with the teacher please do so once
the children have been dismissed for the day at 3.00 pm.
