Headteacher’s Update…
Dear Priory Parents and Carers,
We are pleased that we have been able to make partnerships to offer more extra-curricular activities this year. In response to feedback we receive from pupils and parents, we aim to adapt the clubs we offer to suit the demands of the community.
This term we have added Spanish, KS2 French, Art, and woodwork clubs, and Curveball coaching have offered quidditch. Later in the year we are also looking forward to developing our choir club (with the talents of Mr Smith!), Just Dance club (with the moves of Miss Hollingshead!) and Samba club (with the rhythm of Mr Webb!) among others.
The details of all of the clubs we offer are in last week’s newsletter and on the clubs section of our website.

News from Year R…
What have we been learning about in Year R this week?
What a wonderful first full week in Year R it has been! The children have settled in as a class and have learnt many of the routines already. We are so pleased with how well they have picked up the routines and couldn’t be prouder! Even Mrs Clitheroe, in the kitchen, commented on how well they did on their first day when getting their lunches.
Thank you for your efforts with the ‘All About Me’ bags. The children had lots of fun sharing all of their special things with their friends and it was a lovely way to get to know each other.
The children have been completing Literacy baseline assessments this week. This was completed in an informal and fun way. All the children were asking when it was their turn so it was clearly something they all wanted to do!
We have started our Phonics sessions and have been focusing our learning on the sounds s,a,t,p. The children practised identifying these sounds and thinking of words starting with these sounds.
Next week:
The children will be continuing to establish the routines and will also be thinking about the rules we might have in school. We will create a class charter together and the children will all sign it to say they will follow the rules in school.
The children will also continue the theme of ‘All About Me’. They will be thinking about people who are special to them and also talking about their favourite food.
Baseline assessments will be continuing next week with a focus on Maths for the week. Again, this will be completed in a fun and informal way.
The Year Rs will be having their individual and class photo taken next Wednesday 18th in the morning. These will be available to purchase. Please ensure your child comes into school on Wednesday morning looking smart and with a lovely smile!
Have a lovely restful weekend.
The Year R team
