Dear Parents and Carers,
This year we are celebrating World Book Day on Wednesday 9th March (which is different to the national date!). The theme for our school is going to be ‘Our Class Author’. As we have not been able to celebrate together for a few years, we are going to make sure the children really enjoy this year’s World Book Day!
One of the best parts of World Book Day is when the children dress up as characters from their favourite books. It would be great if this year the children’s costumes wear one of the characters from books written by their class author.
Your child’s class author is:
Rec Nick Sharratt
Rec Trish Cooke
Y1 Julia Donaldson
Y1 Shirley Hughes
Y2 Atinuke
Y2 Judith Kerr
Y3 Joseph Coelho
Y3 Ken Max
Y4 Benjamin Zephaniah
Y4 Jacqueline Wilson
Y5 Onjali Q Raúf
Y5 Polly Ho-Yen
Y6 David Almond
Y6 Malorie Blackman
We are really looking forward to seeing who walks into school on Thursday 9th March!
Dear Parents/Carers
I am excited to announce we are open for recruitment for the Being a Parent-Enjoying Family Life groups starting w/c 25th April 2022. We are looking for 34 more parents who may be struggling with their emotional wellbeing and worried about their child’s (aged 2-11 years) behaviour.
Groups will be run in person and online over 9-10 weeks for ~2 hours and cover topics such as managing stress, positive parenting, play and communication.
We also have some new advertisement resources, including our YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmk7j-79wLs and a new study website which can be shared with parents: https://bap-efl.squarespace.com/
We have received positive feedback so far from the parents involved in the study, and we really appreciate all your help in sharing information with parents at your schools to promote the study. We really could not reach as many parents as we have without you.
Interested parents can sign up using the following link: https://kclbs.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3IuWeTjmKHZaKYC or contact me at this email address: ellie.baker@kcl.ac.uk
