Dear Parents/Carers,
Dear Parents and Carers,
This week some of our pupil leaders had the opportunity to visit Foyles bookshop in London for a self-guided tour. They were tasked with reviewing how books in the bookshop entice people to want to read them. They went on to review how we could develop our reading areas at school to be even more inviting. The children returned enthused and fed back their findings in assembly this week.
Reading is the most important skill your child needs to master. Reading ensures we have opportunities to learn in any subject. We are pleased to announce that the Book Fair will be visiting us from 21st to 23rd October. We invite you to come along to school to take a look at the wide range of books that will be on offer that you can purchase for your child. Please see the letter below for more information.
Our local family hub, located at the Dagenham Learning Centre, Community and Family Hub (at the corner of Heathway and Church Elm Lane) has a wide range of support for families. They can support with many areas such as parenting skills, speech and language, toilet training etc. Please see below for October’s Speech, Language and Communication Top Tip on using gestures to support the understanding of language with young children. Our school family navigator will be visiting the school during parents evening on 23rd October, if you would like to meet them in person.
This is a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, celebrate achievements, and share next steps for learning. Our booking system will go live next at 4pm on Friday 10th October.
Our clubs for Year 1 to 6 has got off to a great start. If you would like your child to attend one of our clubs please email the school office – office@parsloes.bardaglea.org.uk
We are excited to announce two new clubs. Every Monday Premier Education will host a Year 1 and 2 football club and every Thursday Year 3 and 4 football club. Please book through the Premier Education. Please see their brochure below.
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 Oasis.
Please see the links below for information, prices and booking details.
