Dear Parents/Carers,

We are now really getting into the swing of the new academic year and children are learning more and more about their current topics. To help keep you informed about what your child is learning, we have created half termly planners which the children are bringing home with them today – we hope you find these useful. They can also be found on our school website in the curriculum section, and will be updated each half term.

Over the next week, there is also the opportunity for you to pop into your child’s class to find out more about the year ahead from your child’s class teacher. We have set these at 3pm to coincide with pick up times for ease, but please do not worry if you are unable to make the session as all the information is on a powerpoint which will we share on class DoJo and our school website.

I also wanted to take this opportunity to update you with other key roles in the school so that you know who to go to in the first instance should you have an idea, question or concern:

Mrs Champion, who teaches Kittiwakes, is our Early Years Lead (Nursery and Reception),
Mrs Pearce, who teaches Curlews, is KS1 Assistant Headteacher (Years 1 and 2),
Mr Cruse, who teaches Guillemots, is KS2 Assistant Headteacher (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) and our Designated Safeguarding Lead,
Mrs Rayment is our school SenCo – she is based at Mabe on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but will be available over DoJo all through the week.

All staff at Mabe are committed to further developing our home, school links and we operate an open door policy here so please make use of this – we are all here to support your children to be the best that they can be.

Next Friday in our whole school assembly we will be exploring the theme of Harvest. To support our Harvest Festival, we would like children to bring in an item of non-perishable food (tins, cereals, pasta, etc) which we will collect in and then donate to our local food bank.

Thank you for all your support already this term,

With my very best wishes.

Mrs Stevens

Please could we request that at pick up times, you collect your youngest sibling first. We appreciate that you can’t be in two places at 3.15 but this will help ensure the littlest children don’t get upset waiting.

Thank you!
