Dear Parents and Carers,

Only one more week to go until half term! The first half term of this academic year has flown by and this week we have held the first parent consultation evening of the year. It was such a pleasure to see lots of you here and for the teachers to be able to share with you how the children have settled in. On the whole, most children have had a good start, but I did hear some teachers asking for parents to be checking children’s planners and listening to them read regularly. If that was you, please do support us in this way as reading is the key to success!

Dear Parents and Carers,

The first four weeks of term seem to have flown by and the children are all well settled into their new classes. We have held two parent workshops and the dates for the rest of the term can be found on page 3 of this newsletter. We have updated the term dates in the panel to the left with the dates of this half term’s parent consultations and you will shortly receive a forms link to complete with the times you would prefer.

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back! And a huge welcome if you are just joining the Heathfield community. We are so glad to have you. We have got off to a great start this year and the children have settled in well to their new classes. The children should now all have their reading books and planners and the expectation is that you read with them (or listen to them read) five times a week. Our parent workshops are starting up next week and all of the dates for the autumn term are on the back page of the newsletter so that you don’t miss them. Curriculum newsletters with the information about this half term’s learning will follow early next week.

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are approaching another extremely busy time of year with lots going on. Our first summer fair in three years will be taking place on Friday 15th July and we are very excited. If you do want to have a stall at this event, please contact Ms McInerney as soon as possible as the spaces are filling up fast.

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had a wonderful two weeks at Heathfield! It has been so lovely to see the children going out on visits and engaging with additional visitors into school.

Reading books and bookbags: Senior leaders are noticing that we have a number of children coming into school each morning without their bookbags, which does impact on children having their planners checked, getting their new spellings for the week and changing their reading books regularly. All children should be bringing their planners, reading books and bookbags into school everyday and we thank you in advance for your support with this.
