Dear Parents,

WELCOME BACK! I would like to wish all our parents a very happy New Year as we return to a wet and dismal start to our new term! I am sure that this will develop into a very busy term as they usually all are. Please ensure that your children bring home their Wednesday Weekly newsletters to keep you fully informed of event occurring in school. You can always find this posted on our website www.wldps.com and on our APP if you search under WLDPS. REPORT CARDS At the end of last term, you received a report card giving you a brief update on your childs attainment and effort. The teachers would be most grateful if you would sign this and then return as soon as possible. It is a card which will accumulate information over the year and will be sent to you again at the end of this spring term. NEW YEAR RESOLUTION PUNCTUALITY I would be very grateful if a real effort is made to ensure that your children are at school on time this term in an effort to reduce levels of lateness that were occurring last term. Children who regularly are late are monitored as it has a negative impact on their learning and others learning as they arrive late in class. Your support here would be very much appreciated. NEW HOLIDAY DATES AND TERM DATES 2014-15 These are now published on the school website if you are looking to book a holiday next year in the school holidays. AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS Clubs such as choir and football etc. are set to restart in the week beginning on the 20th January. Please contact the office if you have any further enquiries. Nippon UK however have started their Jujitsu Club which occurs each Tuesday and Netball Club led by the Sports Partnership will start next Monday and Wednesday. Letters for junior children who wish to get involved with netball coaching will be issued very soon. This activity will be open to both boys and girls! SCHOOL DINNERS Please can you let the school office know if you intend to have school dinners next term. It would be most helpful in helping us be organised after the holiday. FOOTBALL/RUGBY KITS Please can you make sure if your child has a school football/rugby kit at home that it is washed and returned to school as soon as possible we still have a few outstanding and they are to be needed soon for forthcoming events.
