Reception/Year 1 Phonics Open Morning
On Friday 25th October, 9-10am, we would like to invite all parents/carers of children in Reception and Year 1 to a phonics open morning, where you will get a chance to watch your child's phonics lesson in their classroom, learn about our phonics scheme and how we teach it, and gain some ideas in how you can support your child with their reading at home. If you would like to attend, you do not need to do anything, just drop your child off at school as normal on the day then come round to the school office. We look forward to seeing you!
PINS Parent/Carer Meeting
Save the date: Parent/carer meeting Friday 11th October 8.55am to 10.25am.
We are participating in a project run by the local area called 'Partnerships for inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS)'. The project involves supporting schools to develop their knowledge for how to support neurodiverse children in schools.
Lynn Turnbull from Hertfordshire Parent Carer Forum will be holding a parent meeting at Galley Hill School on Friday 11th October 8.55am to 10.25am. This is open to all parent/ carers in our school community. Lynn is looking forward to meeting you and hearing your thoughts, experiences and ideas.
Please come along, she will also provide tea, coffee and biscuits!
Wet weather and lunch times
As we appear to now officially be in Autumn, children will need to bring in a pair of wellies if they wish to play on the field or in the woodlands at lunch time. These need to be brought in a bag and can stay at school on your child's peg. Children will also need to bring to school a waterproof coat with them every day - as we like to get outside whatever the weather! Thank you.
World Mental Health Day
On Thursday 10th October Galley Hill will be participating in World Mental Health Day, by holding class assemblies, discussions and completing a range of activities. We will also be raising awareness by joining in with YoungMinds' Hello Yellow Campaign. We are therefore inviting each child to come into school on that day wearing something yellow, on top of their usual school uniform, e.g. a pair of socks, a scarf, hairband, jumper etc. Staff will be getting involved as well! We look forward to seeing you.
Consent Forms on Arbor
If you have logged on to Arbor in the last day or 2 you may notice that there are a number of consent requests that pop up on your home screen. Please can you ensure that these consents are all up to date. Also, if any of your information has changed (phone number, email address etc.) then these can be updated on the app and will be approved in the office.
