Spellings
Ten spelling words and a small activity will be given on Monday to be learned and completed for the following Monday when we will have our Spelling Test.
Reading Books
Reading books are changed regularly and the children are expected to read some English every night.
School Uniform
As you are aware, all children must wear the correct full School Uniform at all times. Children should wear summer uniform this term. Please ensure that all items of school uniform are clearly labelled with your child's name. Items of uniform are mislaid on a daily basis, due these not being correctly labelled with the child's name. Shoes should be black or navy blue and long hair must be tied back at all times with black or navy blue accessories. No jewellery is allowed, except small stud earrings.
Snacks
All children should bring a snack for morning break. A snack might include a piece of fruit, a sandwich, plain cake or a savoury biscuit. Please also include a small bottle of water. Please do not send in chocolate, crisps or sweets in line with our healthy eating policy. Chewing gum is banned at Calpe School.
School begins promptly at 09.10am and finishes at 4pm. Please ensure that you bring and collect your child promptly as late arrivals and collections can be very upsetting for your child and are disruptive to the whole class. If your child is absent for any reason please inform the office as soon as possible. If someone else who is unknown to us is collecting your child, please contact the office. The school must know at all times who they are handing custody over to.
If you have any queries/concerns please feel free to speak to me, after school is preferable. For longer discussion time, please make an appointment either with myself or with our secretary Miss Laura in the office. Please do not feel you have to wait for parents evening.
Yours Sincerely,
Miss Carrie-Anne
