Many thanks to all the parents who were able to make their appointments and for the few who were unable to see me thank you for passing on a message of explanation. Don't feel Parents' Evenings are the only times I am available to see you, if you have a question or need to pass on relevant information about you child I will always willingly arrange a mutually convenient meeting.
After so much dry, spring weather the day of the Urdd Rugby tournament dawns to a downpour and flooded pitches at the venue, hence the tournament has been postponed. Perhaps we'll have better luck next week for the mixed football competition. Still on a sports theme, the Blues have sent us a letter querying whether we would like tickets for their game against Treviso. Letters will be sent out with information at the end of the week.
The class is currently involved in planning and making a short animation film as well as writing an "interactive" story they will read to their chosen infant child. So as to involve the infant the writer has compiled a questionairre with the intention of including as much of their audience's preferences in the story as possible. Class 2 is doing this with Mrs. Decaro's class.
We have several talented pupils in the class and when discussing the children's abilities I was very pleased to hear how many parents are fostering their children's interests and talents by encouraging them to join clubs
in the community and not just those we offer in school. Some parents were a little surprised to learn how much potential their children had because they were focusing on academic achievement while their child showed promise in the arts or sport or some other discipline. If you can, please follow up this interest by encouraging them to join an out of school club. You never know you could be the even prouder parents of a future Olympian!
