Heads up from Mrs Day

It has been a mismatch of weather this week with the children getting outside as much as possible and then brought in for the rain! Fingers crossed it settles soon. Despite this, we have completed lots of activities. Year 5 and 6 spent the mornings at Tilsley Park competing in the annual Quad Kids tournament (more details below), the Year 4 children completed their multiplication checks and the children in Year 1 were assessed on their phonics knowledge. I am very proud of how the children managed these assessments and the results will be shared in due course. This week has also been our Science week and the children loved seeing Mr Austin’s experiments on the playground (see the page below). The Science Fair went well this afternoon and I am always so impressed with the time and effort that goes in to the experiments. Thank you for your support in arranging this as I know a lot of time and effort goes in to preparing your child’s work.

We are also impressed at the amount of children remembering to bring their hats in to school which we appreciate. You may have noticed that we have been closing the car park gates during the day. This is to ensure the safety of staff and children during school hours. A reminder that there is no parking for parents (unless a prior arrangement has been made) on the school site.

We are very excited about our Colour Run next week and we have sent an email to the parents have been booked. We will be having a BBQ on the day so please bring some cash or card to purchase any burgers or hot dogs after using up all of your energy on the event either spectating or taking part. I hope you all have a lovely weekend and we will see you Monday morning on the playground.

Pay it forward top up account available on Arbor.

In previous years, the school has been in a position to make some funding available to pay for school trips and activities for those children and families facing financial hardship. As the number of families in this group has risen and the national issues of school funding are hitting Thomas Reade, it is now no longer possible for the school to guarantee this facility going forwards. 

We firmly believe that every child in every class deserves the opportunity to benefit from all of these important enrichment experiences and are launching a pay-it-forward initiative to provide a mechanism for our community to come together and help support places on these school trips and activities so that no child is left behind. 

Any amount you can give will be used for a general 'pay it forward' fund to support places on school trips for families facing financial hardship. Payments to this account can be found on the front page of your parent portal under the accounts section where you can top up an amount of your choice. Please see below as an example:
