Forever Learners: Achieving our Dreams

WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

AUTUMN ISSUE : 12

8th December 2017

Article 3 of the UNCRC:

Everyone who works with children should always do what is best for each child

We only have nine school days left until the Christmas holidays begin! In the meantime we have lots of festive activities taking place before the end of term. The school is looking very festive! I hope to see lots of you at the various Concerts next week. I’m as excited about seeing them as you are! Wednesday is the BEST DAY—with our Christmas lunch Menu, served with a cracker and the Winter Fayre! Please don’t forget to give your child some spending money for the Winter Fayre which they will visit with their class during the school day. It can be as little as 50p, and certainly no more than £5.00. The Winter Fayre planned by Stag Lane parents, is primarily for the children to access during the school day.

FAMILY LEARNING—AT STAG LANE

We are running a series of Family Learning

courses next year. The first course around

Literacy, is funded in partnership with Stanmore

College. It is a project where parents work for 12 weeks learning

about how literacy is taught in our own school and you get a chance

of trying it out with your child during the sessions. Please complete

the form sent out earlier this week if you are interested. Watch out

for other Family Learning opportunities next term.

Safeguarding your children—Christmas
