Learner of the Week - we will be using a new system to notify you via the website if your child has been nominated as the learner of the week for their class. This will be sent out on a Thursday. Certificates will be awarded in our family sharing assemblies on Friday afternoons at 2:45pm.
 
Lost Property - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE label lunchboxes and clothing, including PE kit.   It is vitally important that everything that comes into school is labelled so we can return these items to you and your child. We have had lots left behind every night so far - some of which have no names on them. 
In order to help with labelling we have sourced 12 labels per Wolves child - these will be sent home today.  Details of the company who supplied them were shared before the holidays and are on the sheet should you wish to order more.

Every week we encourage parents to support their children to learn and use new vocabulary. In school we will be exploring the origin of new words, what they mean and how to use them effectively in context. If you can encourage your child to use these words it would be really helpful!

Wolves: technology and continent 

Hedgehogs: decay and saviour 

Adders: soluble and solution
