It has been lovely to return to school this week. I have missed the children so much and they welcomed me back with open arms. I have heard lots of good things about the children’s behaviour and work whilst I have been off which makes me so proud. The children have done some fantastic learning. Well done Year 3!
Excitingly, I was able to share some special news with the children yesterday. We are one of just 25 classes across the UK to be chosen to take part in an event to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The event, ran by Bloomsbury Publishing and the National Literacy Trust, will entail lots of exciting things such as a nationwide book relay across the 25 schools taking part, a Miles of Magic reading challenge, a virtual lesson with Warner Bros Harry Potter studios in London and much more! I have also arranged a Harry Potter day to celebrate this event. I have sent a letter home with the children today which explains the plans in more detail. We can’t wait to get started!
To kick start the event, a beautiful Harry Potter trunk full of goodies was delivered to us yesterday. We were all so excited to open it and see what was inside…
In other news, this morning we had a visit from Stephen at Coram Life Education who delivered a lesson all about the body, the brain and how to keep ourselves healthy. We even had a visit from Harold the Giraffe! The children were great, answered all the questions they were asked and had a super time with Harold!
Another point to note is that we will be holding Parent Teacher Meetings again on MONDAY 21ST FEBRUARY 2022 - these will be held virtually, as they were in October. You will receive an email with the information shortly, informing you of how to can book your 10 minute appointment. During these meetings I will be able to inform you of the progress your child has made since the last time we spoke in October and any specific information relating to your child. Watch out for the email and book your appointment!
I have also rearranged our ‘go green’ day to raise money for Cafod for the 3rd February. The children can wear green clothing that day in exchange for a £1 donation.
Finally, I haven’t handed out any awards this week - they will start up again next Friday.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Heim-Sarac
