Newsletter - Term 5 - 21st April 2023

Dear Parents,

Welcome back, and welcome to our new children who have started this week. All the children have settled in really well. 

The children have been really excited this week as we have our new dinner providers start. The children have been thoroughly enjoying the new meals to try. 

This term will be busy as always, so please keep checking the school website for upcoming events.

Please make sure your child is bringing a coat to school, as the weather changes so quickly at the moment.

Here's to another fun packed term at Greenvale!!

 

Mrs Allnutt

Headteacher

 


Upcoming Teacher Strike Days

There are 2 Teacher Strike days coming up.

They are:

At this time the strike days will only impact on Badger Class, who have been advised separately that their class will be closed on both of these days.

All other classes will be open. Should this change we will advise you ASAP.

Due to limited school funding we are no longer using the Mathseeds app, but we will continue to use Reading Eggs.

Please encourage your children to use this at home.
