GFPTA Greenfields Sponsored Walk

autumn
Tonight your child will be bringing home a sponsor form and a letter telling you all about the sponsored walk all the children will be doing during the last week of term. Not only will this bring to a close our half term focus on our value of ...be amazed, it is a fantastic opportunity for the children to get out and explore our local area. The walk will take place on the same day as your child's outdoor learning session. We will be going whatever the weather, so make sure you have a coat!

dreams

...be amazed...

“Never let it be said that to dream is a waste of one’s time, for dreams are reality in waiting. In dreams we plant the seeds of our future.”

This week can you show us what your dreams and aspirations are? Have you always wanted to master something? Are you learning a new skill outside of school that you could show us? We look forward to seeing how you are following your dreams!

Information for Parents

Toilets
We have had some parental queries around children using toilets during the day. At the beginning of term we sent out to parents a timetable which shows dedicated time in which children are encouraged to use the toilets, this is because we must avoid the class bubbles mixing. If your child needs to go to the toilet at another time, they are of course allowed to go.
School Gateway
Please do not message via school gateway about your child's attendance. The attendance is reviewed weekly and so when you have rung school to explain your child's absence this reason will be added then. Please use the absence line for informing us that your child will not be in school.
Parking on the school site
Please can you ensure that you are parking respectfully and safely when dropping your children into school. We appreciate that the spaces on site are limited.
