I would like to reassure parents we are not dressing up on World Book Day. Instead, school will be having two reading events across the day to promote every child seeing themselves as a reader. One in their phase of the school (upper or lower key stage 2) and the other in their class. Keep an eye out on Seesaw for an update on or after that date.

Advance notice - there will be an opportunity for parents to come into school again on the afternoon of Thursday 9th March. This time there will be a focus on helping your child develop their writing skills. There will be a short presentation from Mrs Cleaves at 1.30 in the hall, who is the subject leader for writing followed by an opportunity to visit your child's class to see them being taught writing between 2.00 and 2.45. This finishes in time for parents to be able to get to Letchmore for the end of the school day.  I am aware that parents may be torn if they have more than one child at the school as to which classroom to visit, unfortunately, it is not logistically possible to move from one classroom to another so you will have to make a decision which class you would like to visit this time. Additionally, because there will be a short presentation in the hall, there will a limit to the number of people we can accommodate so we will be asking families to indicate whether they will be attending the afternoon and how many people will be coming and to which class. This information is important to allow us to plan effectively. The response to the reading afternoon was overwhelmingly high (in a good way) and we hope that the writing afternoon is equally as popular.
