‘learning journey’. The ‘learning journey’

will be used to show how much progress children have made across all of their

writing, whether it is a literacy lesson, science or a topic lesson. The books will

also help to encourage consistency across

all subjects.

We will be putting an extra emphasis on the presentation of work this year,

including handwriting and neatness. As

part of this, our new friend ‘Penny the Pencil’ will be on-hand to check children

are going the extra mile to write letters correctly and use a joined up handwriting

style.

Prizes and certificates will be given out for

the neatest handwriting, and children who

produce the best pieces of work will be displayed in our brand new presentation

boards!

PUNCTUALITY

Good punctuality is a key life skill.

Remember, school starts at 8.45am

and all children are expected to arrive on time.

School finishes at 3.05pm—it is essential that all parents collect their

children on time. Teachers and staff attend meetings and training from

3.05pm, and while we would always

ensure the safety of our children, we do not have the capacity to watch

children who are not picked up on time.

From now on, any children who are not picked up on-time from Years 3, 4, 5

and 6 will be kept on the playground

until a parent or carer arrives. Children in Year 1 and 2 can be collected from

the office. Please note that this change only effects the New Cross Street site.

THE CYCLE PATH

The cycle path at our New Cross Street site is currently being renovated by

Bradford Council. We were assured that this essential work would be completed

before 1st September, however it

seems that the work has taken longer than expected. We apologise for any

inconvenience this has caused, and thank you for your patience while the

work is being completed.

YR6 GROWTH MINDSET

Once again, children in Year 6 will be

taking part in an exciting afternoon of

‘Growth Mind-set’ activities every Thursday. The activities include biking,

running, art and science, all of which will help to encourage positive

attitudes, determination and team spirit. The children will be able to

choose which activity they would like to

take part in.

Have a lovely weekend,

Stuart Herrington,

Principal.
