Dear families,

*PYJAMARAMA*

The children really enjoyed coming to school in their pyjamas and sharing their love of books today. We raised £119.15 for the Booktrust to help promote reading. If you have a reluctant reader and need some ideas to inspire your child, look at this link: https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/bookfinder/​

You know how much as a school we promote reading and how it can be the single most effective way to get better at reading, writing, learning about the world, being creative and understanding others. For younger children, I remember spending hours looking at the books of Richard Scarry with the wonderful, busy illustrations. You can find more about Richard here - https://www.richardscarry.com/. Can I also remind families that Shepherds Bush library is open again for you to visit and borrow books.

*SEESAW WORKSHOP FOR PARENTS* 

To help parents with Seesaw, we will run a workshop to explain how simple it is to use, including how to upload photos of work and videos from your phone and other helpful support. Next Thursday, 20th May at 2.30pm in the lower hall.

*FINAL REMINDER - FREE SCHOOL LUNCH WEDNESDAY 19TH MAY*

Today is the last chance to sign up for the free lunch if your child is in Peach, Rowan or Hazel class - reception, year 1 and year 2. The government pays for the schools meals for children in these year groups so your child is able to eat a school lunch for free every day. Your child can try the food on Wednesday and perhaps then eat cooked lunches daily.
