Dear Parents,

Thank you for taking the time to look at our first PATHS for the year. We update PATHS weekly to inform you about all the exciting things your child will be doing in class that week. The purpose is to share the children’s learning, as well as give you, as parents, information so you can provide your child with extra support at home.

Here are some reminders:

 No jewellery should be worn on PE days.  No chocolate of any sort to be sent into school.  Children must bring in a healthy lunch and snack – please save any treats for treat Thursday’s.  Do check the School website and Home communication book every day- there will always be some helpful information and some things that we may need from you as parents.

Need to talk to us? Below are our e- mail ID’s. Please feel free to contact us as and when you need.

This week we will be looking at the book ‘How full is your bucket?’. The children will discuss how we can be bucket fillers, by being kind and helping our friends. They will also learn about how people can be bucket dippers, by not sharing and being unkind. This book is a great way for us to help reinforce the positive behaviour we expect of the children, as well as providing discussion surrounding how we can be bucket fillers, instead of bucket dippers. Below are some details or the book, if you would like to read it, or discuss it with your child at home.
