Book week – Book Review – The Lorax

Author – Dr Seuss

The story is about a man that makes a jumper

out of a tree. Then, he cut down a tree and out

comes the Lorax. Forever they hated each

other.

I would recommend the book

to Year 4 because it is funny,

but it is long and it will last

you a while. I give it 5 stars. At the end of this term we will be saying goodbye to Mrs Beryl Kennedy. She has worked with us for a long time, in breakfast and after school club. We will miss her around school. Thank you for all your help and hard work Mrs Kennedy—keep in touch and best of luck for the future.

What an amazing effort! A brilliant

book week—stories, tellers,

characters, costumes and lots of

‘pretending’. Thank you to Miss Witton

who co-ordinated our week.

Book Week

An outstanding storyteller - John Row - has visited our school this week as part of Book Week. He worked with all classes and gave us tips about how to write stories and poems! Children were thoroughly engaged with his stories and were on the edge of their seats waiting to hear more! Many children bought his book at the end of the day, which he kindly autographed. Overall the children had an amazing day. I wish we could do it every Wednesday!

Many thanks for completing our school questionnaire. We would

encourage you to complete your views on ParentView. You can

come into school and complete this on our laptops, or can access it from home by

googling Parentview, or by finding the link on our website. Alternatively, there will be

some available throughout the Carbrooke Café’s.

24th March—Mums afternoon

Calling all the mums and

special ladies…

We would like to welcome you

into school on Friday 24th

March from 2:30pm to enjoy

some special treats, to say

Happy Mothering Sunday to

you all. A confirmed

attendance is required to

ensure we have enough

goodies for you all. Please sign

up at the school office by

Wednesday 22nd March.

Please do remember that class teachers are the first port of call with issues regarding your child. They can be seen, by prior arrangements, at a mutually convenient time.

If you would like to come in and talk to a member of the Senior Leadership Team please ask the office staff to book you a time. Please note, it is also possible to ask for a telephone discussion if this is more convenient.

Book Swap!

We have set up an area where you can bring and swap reading books as and when you would like to. This is at the front of the building, on the outside, near the library door. There are books there now, suitable for adults and all ages of children. Please come and borrow or swap a book, or two, whenever you would like to.

Book Reviews

Please remember to complete and

return your book reviews to the

school office. Many thanks.

Please remember to use our

breakfast and after school club

when you need additional school

care. Booking is recommended

and forms are available from

outside the school office.

Breakfast club is open from

7:45am each day. After school

club runs from 3:15—6pm.

As we approach the summer term, may I please take this

opportunity to remind parents that we have assessments

and testing during May and June for all children across the

school. In some classes this is not formal, and in some it is

statutory. Please consider this when making a decision

about taking your children out of school. Many thanks.
