Newsletter - Term 2 - 24th November 2022

Term 2 is always very busy, with lots of celebrations and events going on. We have non-uniform days, concerts, fairs and visitors coming up.

 Please check the latest news and dates below. We will email information about each event out to you all - so spread the word in case someone's data has run out or the message hasn't got through - we'd hate for anyone to miss anything.


Year group email

Please remember that you can contact your child's year group with our year group emails:

Year 2 - Badger Class: yr2@greenvale.medway.sch.uk

Year 1 - Owl Class: yr1@greenvale.medway.sch.uk

Reception - Bat Class: foundation@greenvale.medway.sch.uk

Nursery - Butterfly Class: nursery@greenvale.medway.sch.uk


 Online Safety

https://nationalonlinesafety.com/enrol/greenvale-primary

The link above will take you to the National Online Safety site where you will find support and guides for helping to keep your children safe online.

These guides and videos match the teaching we are delivering in school.

If you are having any technical difficulties signing up, please come to the school office.

This week's guide, recommended by the site, is here for you to see.

Phonics and reading

Thank you so much to those of you able to join us for the Y1 & Y2 phonics session in class, and parent talk on Wednesday.

Reception parents have a meeting session coming up - please check the diary of events and your emails.

Please remember that there are lots of support strategies available on the website too: use these links to go direct!

       Phonics and Reading                                              Helping at Home

We will share information with you in your child's reading record. Reading with your child in a range of ways will support them to become a confident reader. The reading books we send home are designed to be decodable - but we know that children will want to read other books too. ANY reading activity has value - bedtime stories, your child reading their book, or any kind of reading activity, long or short.

Poppy Appeal 2022

Poppies are available from school until next Friday 11.11.22.
School Council are responsible for bringing them around to the classes for the children. Any donations are gratefully received.
Watch out for a special poppy event from Year 1 next week!

Winter Clothing

Now that the weather has turned, please ensure that your child brings a coat to school every day, and suitable footwear is worn.

Wellington boots can be worn to school but a separate pair of shoes or plimsolls will be required for changing into once at school.

PE kits should still be worn to school on your child's designated PE day but jogging bottoms or leggings are now advisable to shorts.

Thank you
