This is my first blog of the academic year and I would like
to start by welcoming you all back. I hope you all had a fabulous holiday and feel
re-energised and enthusiastic for the new term. The children have settled back
into school very well and although they may be a few grumbles with you at home
for having to get up so early they are being very positive at school. I hope
their enthusiasm can be sustained because it is a long term.
Next week school becomes even more exciting because all the
extra - curricular activities start up again – make sure you have returned your
letters so your children can join the clubs they have selected. We are very
fortunate at Little Heath in that we have such a large selection of after
school clubs which the children really enjoy. On a less positive note I did
notice last year that a small group of
parents were regularly late in picking up their children from the clubs.
Although we are aware that they may be very good reasons why a parent is
delayed on some occasions I would ask that you are on time to pick up your
children from their clubs. The staff are already being generous in giving up
their time to provide the extra-curricular activities for your child and to
keep them waiting on a regular basis is, I think, a misuse of their goodwill.
Next week in school we also have our ‘Meet the Teacher’
sessions which are a good opportunity for you to touch base with your child’s
class teacher and see what is expected of them for the year ahead. We make them for parents only because it
gives parents a chance to ask questions that they may not like to ask in front
of children. If you have problems with childcare our after school club, ’Kids n
Clubs’ is offering a child care service for the first session at 4.30pm (you
need to ensure you contact them by Tuesday, 13th September if you
would like to book your child a place. Contact with them can be made through
the school office). If you are unable to make either of the sessions you will
be able to find out the information from the evening on your child’s class blog
– there is no need to book a separate time with the teacher to find out the
information. You will get a chance to discuss your child’s individual progress with
their teacher in October.
That is all for now. Hopefully the good weather will last so
we can pretend it is still summer. See you all on Monday.
