Dear Parents and Carers,
A Big Thank You
Thank you so much for all your support over this half term. As we move into the break and the colder months ahead, please ensure your child has everything they need to stay warm and dry outside. Why not take a look in our 'wear and share' area in the main reception if you need anything?
Parent Research Project – Your Vote Needed!
Last week's parent café looked at exciting ideas for you to vote on and get involved with. We need you to choose which project you'd like to participate in:
Option 1: 'Book Talk' Project
We'll explore whether talking about books and reading with your child improves their understanding.
Option 2: 'Maths Games' Project
We'll look at whether playing maths games improves your child's understanding in maths.
Look out for the voting email – we'll launch the winning project after half term. Please remember to vote!
Book Looks – Week Beginning 2nd November
You'll have a chance to see your child's books and are invited to our 'book looks' sessions. Just follow the link to book your slot. https://greenlanes.schoolcloud.co.uk/
Termly Reports & Teacher Consultations
On Friday 6th November, you'll receive your child's termly report, which includes:
- Their initial assessments
- A reminder of the end of Summer assessments
This will be the focus for discussions during your teacher consultations, which will be happening over the following weeks.
Remember: You don't need to wait until this date if you want to chat with your child's teacher about anything. Just email us at teachers@greenlanes.herts.sch.uk and we'll be happy to facilitate a 10-minute meeting for you.
Donations Needed – LEGO Appeal
We're always looking for donations, and if you have any LEGO – particularly mini figures – we would be really grateful!
Thank You – Harvest Festival
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to the Harvest Festival Hatfield Foodbank appeal. You raised lots of colourful food donations, all for a good cause.
