This term is going quickly and we are now most certainly in Autumn with the vibrant colours appearing on our trees.

I am excited to tell you that our school is actively celebrating Black History Month.  The children have been fully engaged in exploring this year's theme, 'Saluting Our Sisters.'  This theme focuses on the significant contributions of Black women in history, highlighting their stories, triumphs, and the pivotal roles they played in shaping our society.  This was celebrated in my assembly on Tuesday to kick-start the month.

Our children have been participating in various activities, including classroom discussions, reading sessions, and creating projects, all aimed at educating them about the rich history and cultural heritage of Black women.  It has been incredibly rewarding to see the enthusiasm, curiosity and some writing our children have shown towards learning about these inspiring figures.

I would like to thank all parents and carers who attended our recent parent evenings.  It was wonderful to see many of you engaging with your child's education and progress.  These meetings are a crucial part of our ongoing efforts to maintain strong communication between school and home.

For those of you who were unable to attend, please remember that it is not too late to discuss your child's progress with their class teacher.  We strongly encourage you to make an appointment before the October half-term to ensure you are informed about your child's achievements and areas of development.
