We are reviewing our security procedures to ensure the safety of everyone on the school site and would like to make everyone aware that to access the front door, the intercom button must be pressed on the right hand side of the door to enter the Foyer Area.

 

Without pressing this intercom button, we are unable to unlock the door.

 

 

 

We have a number of payments still to be made for this trip and would be grateful if all outstanding payments could be made prior to the 14th December.

We still have places available on our Safeguarding Course on Thursday 13th December at 10am in the School Hall.  Safeguarding Certificates are valid for two years so if you need to renew yours or are thinking of become a parent volunteer here at Raglan School, you will need to attend this course.  Please contact the School Office to add your name to the list.

We are looking forward to our Christmas Lunch on Wednesday 12th December.  All children are welcome to wear their Christmas jumpers (or Christmas tops!) to school on Wednesday.

The remaining tickets requested have been issued today.  This includes all reserve tickets requested.

 

The Thursday performance is now full.  However, we still have remaining tickets for the Monday and Tuesday performance if you would like to request any more.

 

Any parents not needing the tickets that have been requested due to a change in circumstances, should be returned to the class teacher/school office.

 

I have updated the spelling lists for next week and updated the weekly maths bulletin.  Head to the Plaza 3 --> Year 6 page on the school website for  more information.  

 

This week, I shall test the varying groups on Monday (Sugarloaf), Tuesday (Skirrid) and Wednesday (Blorenge).  I test the children by means of dictation, putting the words into context, so please ensure that they understand the meaning of the words they are practising.

 

I am aware that a small number of children have had issues with Spelling Shed over the last couple of weeks and have reset their passwords.  However, if access to this site continues to be an issue, please don't hesitate to let me know via the School Office.  Looking at the children's progress and time spent on Spelling Shed, I can see that quite a large number of children have not visited the site in the last week, which is disappointing.  Pupils need to be spending ten minutes daily practising their spellings in order for their spelling to improve.  I would be most grateful if this could be supported at home.

 

Many thanks,

 

Mrs E 

On Wednesday next week AiM Academy will be spending the day with Year 6 demonstrating and teaching parkour/free running skills as part of our 'Extreme Sports' mini-topic.  This event has been generously funded by Raglan PTA - thank you!

 

Pupils will need to wear athletic/sports clothing all day.  They do not need to wear their school PE kit on this occasion.

 

Look out for the pics on Twitter!
