Stanmore Post - 14 February 2020

Dear Parents,

Your support this half term in making our school the ‘BEST’ that it can be has been really appreciated. This half term we have seen an increase of parent participation in events like KS1 ‘Bedtime Stories’; Year R curriculum meetings and the SATs meetings in Year 2 and Year 6. This week Mrs Fenton, our inclusion leader has met with parents of children with special educational needs in order to review their personal learning plans.

The recent home learning as part of the Ancient Egyptian topic has also enhanced learning at school. I have really enjoyed seeing the work that children in Birch, Willow and Sycamore have brought to show me. Your children are really proud to tell me about how you have helped them. I appreciate the extra effort that parents have gone to in order to help us make learning purposeful.

Hazel, Maple and Rowan Class enjoyed sharing their learning with parents at the Outcome this week. Irresistible learning seen throughout the ‘Does X mark the spot?’ topic was enhanced by a visit from a pirate yesterday afternoon.

Finally, we said goodbye for now to Mrs Kempson, as she starts her maternity leave this week. We wish her well and look forward to hearing news of a safe arrival. Mrs Atkins is looking forward to teaching in Elm class after half term. 

Best Wishes

Sharon Taylor
