Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
As you will be aware we are a Little Wandle Champion School. Reading is a priority at Parsloes and your child will have started this journey in our Nursery. On Tuesday 23rd September all Reception parents are invited to come into school at 2.40pm to find out more about how we teach early reading at Parsloes Primary School. Please refer to the letter you received via Parent Mail for more information.
Our Curriculum ensures that pupils have empowering experiences throughout the year. An important part includes school trips. It was the turn of Year 3 pupils this week who visited the National Gallery. In Art the children will be painting and exploring the works of Henri Rousseau so this was the perfect trip to get the children engaged and excited about their learning.
This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, celebrate achievements, and share next steps for learning. Bookings will go live during the week beginning 6th October. More information to follow.
Individual and family group photos will be taken on 14th October during school time. If you have younger children who are not at school to be in the photograph you are most welcome. More information will follow.
Our Annual Harvest festival assembly will take place in October. Your child will receive a letter today asking for donations for this to be another great event at Parsloes. All donations will be sent to our local Food banks. We thank you for your support.
Our extra curricular clubs have started this week. We have a wide range of clubs that the pupils have attended including art club where the pupils created photo frames for their family, cooking club where the pupils created a healthy salad, Reception Bright Minds and football club. If you would like your child to attend one of our clubs please email the school office – office@parsloes.bardaglea.org.uk
Please be aware that the office can be a very busy place during drop off and collection times. If you have any enquiries please email the school office and we will get back to you. If you have any correspondence for the school office please hand to the child’s class teacher. Please note we cannot accept any hot packed lunches that are brought up for the lunch hour. All lunches must be brought to school with the child. A hot meal is available for every child through the school canteen. There is no need to book for this.
There are some changes to our Wrap Around Care offer this year.
Breakfast Club run from 7.30am and will include breakfast for the pupils who attend. The price for this provision will be £4.50 per session.
This club is led by Mrs Crane and Mrs Savill.
If you need any uniform for your child that is second-hand but in good condition, please come along to the main office and we will support you.
Please note that red fleeces can be worn as a coat but are not part of our official school uniform so are not to be worn in place of the school uniform. Please refer to the uniform list below.
Every week, we learn about a different musician in school, from different time periods, cultures and styles of music. This supports our knowledge our music through time and the artists, composers and musicians who created it. Next week we are listening to the music of Elton John.
