Note from Mr Higginbottom

Hello! Happy New Year! I hope that you enjoyed a fabulous Christmas and New Year and that your plans were not too disrupted. It has been wonderful to welcome children back to school this week - it is great to see them so ready to learn and get back into their school routines. Just a few updates for you this week:

Well done to Y3/4M and Y3/4R for having the highest attendance this week - both classes have 100%!

Music and Drama

In preparation for our summer production of 'Follow the Yellow Brick Road', Music and Drama rehearsals resume on Tuesday 11th January. New members are welcome. To attend, children need to have a completed and signed consent form - these are being handed to children but please ask at the school office if you need another copy. Rehearsal time is 3:15 to 4:30 every Tuesday. Extra details are on the letter to children and the dates for the shows and special rehearsals are in the dates section of the newsletter below.

Online Safety

To support our school community to help to keep everyone safe online, we'll be sharing useful information about popular apps and sites, this week is Fortnite Chapter 3 - see below.

Thank you for your continued support of our school and for supporting your child by ensuring they're at school on time and they read at least 4 times each week. If you would like to discuss any aspect of your child's time in school you can email enquiries@sqp.wwpat.org, find me on ClassDojo or chat to me at the start or end of the school day.

At Swinton Queen Primary School, children are aspirational, courageous and inquisitive; respectful of all.
