WORLD BOOK DAY REMINDER Remember that Thursday 3rd March is World Book Day. Children will receive a £1 World Book Day book token and can choose to come to school dressed as a character from one of their favourite books. If you’re stuck for costume ideas, Mrs Cockman sent a letter out earlier in the week with links to lots of useful websites. To use the book token, just take it to a participating bookshop - there’s lots of them out there and you can search for local bookshops at http://www.booksellers.org.uk/Campaigns/WBD-Search. You can swap the book token for one of the exclusive, new and completely free £1 World Book Day books. (You can see the books here: http://www.worldbookday.com/books/) or you can use it to get £1 off any full price book instead. World Book Day book tokens are valid from Monday 29th February to Sunday 27th March 2016
PUPIL ACHIEVEMENT MEETINGS An important part of our work with parents and carers is to discuss how your child can really fulfil his or her potential. We hope to see as many of you as possible in school next week to discuss how well your children are doing now, their next steps for learning and how we can work together to support children to achieve even more.
