Everyone in Little Heath today is feeling a little sad because Mrs Costi is leaving us for a while. She is going for a lovely reason as she is having a baby. All the staff are nearly as excited as she is with the anticipation of its arrival but we are going to miss her. I will let you know what she has as soon as we find out and I am sure she will be popping in to see us accompanied by her new arrival. As many of you know I love babies and I am going to make sure that I am first in line to have a cuddle.

I could tell that many of the children were a little worried today as they went home because many of them have received their annual school report. Many of them do not need to worry as they have really tried their best with their learning and that is all we can ask of anybody. Those that could work a little harder (and they know who they are) should take note of the comments made and really make an effort to ensure that they achieve their potential. We do ask that you return the slip as quickly as possible to us so that we know you have received the report and if any of you would like to discuss the report in more detail please do not hesitate to contact the class teacher.

Next week it is ‘World Book Day’ on Thursday and it is a day that we all really look forward to in school. We have done themes over the year but this year we are returning to an old one of ours which is to let the children come to school dressed as their favourite book character and also bring in their favourite book. Some of the children have told me that their favourite book is on their Kindle and they have asked if they can bring that in. I am quite happy for them to do so as long as they are responsible for their own Kindle.

That is all for now. The first week back after a holiday day can sometimes feel longer than normal but this week has flown by. The warmer weather helped at the beginning of the week but unfortunately it has got a little colder again –and ‘Doris ‘ did not help either. I am sure that we will all be able to enjoy the weekend despite the cold and I look forward to seeing you all again on Monday.
