Wootton Community Primary School Church Road, Wootton Bridge Ryde, Isle of Wight PO33 4PT Telephone/Fax: 01983 882505 Email : admin@woottonpri.iow.sch.uk Website: www.woottonprimaryschool.co.uk Headteacher: Mrs Peta Mather Dear Parents and Friends, Thursday 26th March 2015 This half term has whizzed by so quickly! The children have been working really hard and have shown great focus in their lessons, this has been very positive to observe. We have monitored the children’s work, and this too is demonstrating increasing levels of expectation and challenge across the school- again which is very pleasing. Governors as well as senior members of staff have been involved in a range of activities and these have also involved children sharing their view points- the children are always incredibly honest and charming, but they also provide us with a very clear understanding of how what we are doing as a school to continue improving, is actually impacting on them as learners. This week the children have all enjoyed an Easter treasure hunt and even more so, enjoyed their Easter treats! Tomorrow we are at Church for our Easter service, and the children will bring home a planted sunflower seed. We would like your child to care for this and grow a strong and healthy plant which can then be planted in your garden. We would like to see how tall they grow and so hope that you will please take photographs and measure them. Before the end of the summer term we will collect in the pictures and measurements to see which is the tallest. We will send home more exact dates next term. We also said our goodbyes this week to Mrs Hunnybun and Miss Wilson- we wish them well and thank them for all of their hard work. Have a great Easter break and we will look forward to seeing you on Monday 13th April! Kind regards, Peta Mather Headteacher Wootton School will ensure a first class education for all within a challenging, secure and happy environment for learning.
