Dear Parents and Carers,

 

This term Year 1 will be focusing on reading and books. This will include lessons and challenges to engage and inspire the children to read and enjoy books.

 

To support this learning we are planning a visit to Botwell library. This is an opportunity for the librarians to talk about everything that happens there and for the children to have a look at the different books they can borrow. The Year One classes will be going on the following days:

 

Wednesday 24th November   13:30-14:30      Mole

Wednesday 1st December    13:30-14:30      Rabbit

Friday  28th January              13:30-14:30      Squirrel

 

Please make sure your child has a waterproof coat and wears comfortable shoes.

 

Yours sincerely,

The Year One Team

Dear Parent/ Carer,

 

Anti-Bullying Week Monday15th November – Friday 19th November 2021

 

We are taking part in Anti-Bullying Week this term between Monday 15th and Friday 19th November.

 

Anti-Bullying Week helps our school to shine a spotlight on bullying and get involved, take action against bullying and raise awareness in our school.

 

This year the theme is 'One Kind Word'. Pupils in every year group will be engaging in activities to learn more about the meaning of bullying, the different types of bullying, the effect it has on others and what to do if they or someone they know is getting bullied. This is in line with this half term's PSHE unit of Celebrating Difference

 

We will end the week with 'Odd Sock Day' on Friday 19th November.

 

This is to celebrate we are all different. Children can bring in £1 for charity.  There is no pressure to wear the latest fashion or buy expensive costumes. All your child has to do to take part is wear odd socks, it could not be simpler! The rest of your child's school uniform should be worn as normal.

 

Please see our school website for further details on this issue.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mrs Turna – PSHE Lead

Dear parents/carers,                                                                                        This week is the Times Tables Rockstars England Rocks competition. It started on the 8^th November 2021 and finishes on Thursday 11^th November 2021 at 7:30pm. It would be great if you could support your children with this at home.

 

This is a fantastic opportunity for children to practise their times tables while competing against other schools and against other classes at Lake Farm Park Academy. There will be prizes too!

 

Please do support your children with this.

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Parents / Carers,

As stated in the last newsletter, this week Lake Farm Park Academy will be celebrating culture week. All children across the school will be participating in a range of different activities to explore different cultures. To mark the end of the week all the children are invited to come in on Friday 5th November 2021, dressed up in their national cultural clothes or wear the colours that are on their national flag. Please discuss with your child the country that their families originate from, the language, foods, dress, etc; and the countries that they have focused on that week in class. They will have the opportunity to share their knowledge with their class.

 Yours sincerely

 Ms Buttar

Principal
