A very warm welcome back to school to all our families. We hope you had a lovely break. It was great to see so many excited, smiling faces coming through the gates on Tuesday morning!

It's hard to believe we are now into the summer term, with lots of exciting events planned for the last term of the year!

In assembly this week, I talked to the children about how important good attendance at school is and introduced two new incentives. The first is a weekly class of attendance champions. This is the class who have collectively got the highest rate of attendance over the week. Each week, there will be a treat for the champion class to enjoy! The second is an incentive to be in school on time every day - the hot spot day!

One day each week you will spot a big red spot on our gates on the way into school - this means it's a hot spot day. Every child who is in class on time on a hot spot day will be given a ticket by their teacher to enter into a raffle at the end of each half term. At the end of this time, we will draw out a winner from Reception to Year 2 and another winner from Year 3-6, who will each win an exciting prize! You have to be in it to win it! You will find further details of our attendance and punctuality campaign in a separate letter and a leaflet in the children's bags tonight.

Please see the list of dates at the end of the letter to add to your diary - there are lots of exciting things planned! More to be added as we go along, so please watch this space.

Have a great weekend.

Mrs Price
