The picture above is just a very small selection of images to showcase what a fabulous half term we've had despite all its challenges.

I hope that you all feel very proud of all you have achieved!

Friendship Fence

Your messages are at last taking pride of place along the fence at the back of school. Make sure that you find the time over the holidays to take a walk out to read them. They look absolutely lovely!

Thank you
We wanted to say an enormous thank you to our families for making the video of messages and photos. There were lots and lots of emotional staff watching it today. The overwhelming feeling was one of pride. You should feel enormously proud of the the joint effort between school and home this half term- well done all of us!

This term the school value we will be focusing on is...

...be original..

~ never stop asking questions...seek out the answers ~

Be original is shown by the hands on our logo; they represent the importance of fostering our children to be questioning and evaluative of all they see and hear. This term you will see that children are encouraged to think originally about what they have learnt, develop an insatiable hunger for knowledge and question everything.

Staffing update

We will be saying a very fond farewell to Miss Smith who has decided to retire. She has played an enormously important role in school as a class teacher and colleague; I know that many of our families who have had children taught by her will miss her gentle and nurturing manner and her relentless determination to do what is right for the children at Greenfields. We will miss her creativity and her sense of fun. We all wish her well on this new stage of her life!

To ensure that we can keep as much continuity for all of the children as possible, Miss Harrison will now be moving to Year 5. Mr Coverdale and Mrs Robertson supported by Mrs Beattie will be teaching the Year 4 children.

The children in Year 4 will be registered together as one group, but be in groups for their teaching time. Thank you for the support the senior leaders received from families when sharing this news directly with the affected classes earlier in the week.

“ ..I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be..."

This week our family challenge focus is to be unexpected! Its so hard to be spontaneous at the moment, but can you think of ways to add in some surprises in your life?Maybe you could send an unexpected message to say hello to someone who you haven't seen for a log while?

You can share your stories with us via our social media platforms and via google classroom or seesaw.

Reading recommendation

"The Unexpected Visitor" by Jessica Courtney -Tickle.

There was once a little fisherman. Every morning he would take his boat out into the wide sea . . . And wait, and wait
When the little fisherman gets an unexpected (and very large) visitor one day, they instantly become friends.

Reminders for families


Emails

We have set up year group email addresses if you need to speak directly with your child's teacher.

Please can parents and carers avoid using teacher's personal school email addresses. These emails are accessible to staff usually on their personal devices which means that they pick them up over the weekend and times when they are not at work. I'm sure you all support me in wanting our staff to have sufficient space away from work to recharge their batteries so that they are at their best at the start of each day and each week.

Thank you in advance for your support with this.

Each class has its own twitter account where you will find regular updates about your child's classwork.
