It has been lovely to see everyone again and meet lots of new faces too both in terms of new staff and pupils.

The weather has certainly been hot this week after such miserable weather over summer and hopefully won't turn to rain when we begin P.E next week!

This is a brief newsletter and has information about ordering uniform, booking clubs, key dates and your child's teaching team. Our usual jam packed newsletter will follow next week which will also include links to what your child will be learning and how you can help them.

Remember to follow us on Instagram swinefleet_pr and join our school Facebook group.

Have a lovely weekend!

Please click the link below to book extra-curricular clubs for both after school and lunchtimes. All clubs are free including those run by professional sports coaches.

Please ensure that P.E kit is in school all week.

Hull FC will be working with us again this year and each class will work with them on either Monday or Tuesday.

Year 3, 4 and 5 begin swimming on Monday so please make sure you have swimming kits with you too.

I wonder what the reading treat will be this half-term after the fun of bouncy castles as part of the summer treat?

The levels for reading are:

Bronze - 18 reads

Silver - 24 reads

Gold - 36 reads

Reading clubs are worth 3 reads and can be booked through the club link in this newsletter for lunchtime and/or after school.

Reads ideally should be logged on Tapestry or Seesaw so please contact a member of your child's teaching team if having difficulties and they will be happy to help[. If your child is younger sharing a story with them counts as a read this means that it is accessible to all.

All Seesaw logins have been sent out (please speak to staff if having any issues). Diamonds and Sapphires children should only use the codes sent out on Friday as the first class set up had a glitch.

Most Tapestry accounts are live for Pearls however new starters will be linked by Mrs Clarkson on Monday so please see her if you have any issues.

Please can you ensure that your child wears uniform as this is compulsory from Reception. The children wear uniform with pride as part of our school absolutes. Uniform does not need to carry our school logo and many supermarkets stock red jumpers at less cost.

As a school, we will be sending out uniform orders next week for any who wish to order so please keep an eye out for this. We are able to offer support with uniform for those in receipt of Free School Meals and you will be contacted next week regarding this.

Please ensure that your child has equipment suitable to the weather such as sun cream in this hot weather and a coat when the weather is less bright. School provide sunhats.

If you would like to speak to Mrs Thurlow regarding any SEND needs then she is available every Tuesday morning and will be visible on the playground. Please also feel free to speak to your child's teaching team.

On Wednesday 13th September school is open for you to come in and meet your child's class teaching team. There will be a short presentation about their expectations regarding things such as homework and a chance to find out a little about them. Do not worry if you cannot attend as presentations will be uploaded to class pages and staff are happy to chat to you on the playground before and after school.

Each newsletter we will do a spotlight on a member of staff so that you can get to know them all a little further.

For a full staff list with photos please see our staff page on the website (currently being updated).

Please see the menu below. Children can have a hot dinner on any day and do not need to be hot dinners all week. Dinners do not need to be pre-booked.

Dinners can be paid for via our ParentMail App. Children in Reception, Year One and Year Two are entitled to Universal Free School Meals.

Free School Meals are available to some children dependent on household income. If you think you could be eligible there is more information available via Apply for free school meals - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) or Mrs Risebury will happily give you further information of how to apply.

Please see Autumn 1 Dates below - in future new dates will be added in red.

Click the link below to access future diary dates including Christmas production dates and residential dates.

If you have friends or family who are wanting a place at the school either now or in the future then please encourage them to contact us via email or over the phone. This is especially important if they will want places as a 2-Year Old or in our Nursery or Reception as places for next year are now limited.

Thank you
