TWERTON INFANT SCHOOL & NURSERY

Monday 18th October 2021

Fun learning

in the Nursery

We provide engaging resources for children to explore and play

with. The friendly adults give varying levels of support and look for

opportunities to talk with the children to develop new vocabulary

and widen their understanding of language.

Dear Parents and Carers

Parents Evening on Tuesday and Thursday

Parents of children in the school have been assigned a 10 minute

appointment to meet with their child’s class teacher on Tuesday or

Thursday this week. We have tried to match the time to any request

that we received but this has not always been possible.

Parents will receive an SMS confirming the day and time of your

appointment and a link to click on to join the MS Teams meeting. You

can do this from a smartphone, or you can copy the link and email it

to yourself to access on a tablet, laptop or PC. It opens in a browser,

you do not need to install an App.

After you have clicked the link you will need to type in the name of

your child and your name (see below) so teachers can let you join

the meeting at the right time.

N.B. Please join the meeting a few minutes before your appointment

time. This will take you to the Lobby, or waiting room. The teacher will

then admit you to the meeting at the time of your appointment.

An SMS will be sent out later today (Monday 18th October) for

tomorrow’s (Tuesday 19th October) appointments and on Tuesday for

Thursday’s appointments.

School Meals Menu The menu for school meals is on the

school website:

meals/

This week is Week 2 and it is the last

week of the current menu.

After the half-term holiday there will be a new menu.

The first week back after half-term will be Week 1 of the new menu.

On Friday we are raising money for Breast Cancer

Research and inviting children to come to school

dressed in pink clothing. Please bring along a

donation if you can and we will pass it on.

Reading Books and Ditties

We are really pleased that we are now at the

stage that Reading Books and Ditties are being sent home each day.

For children bringing books home, you will find 3 books. The first book

is one that your child has been reading in school and is for them to

show you how good they are becoming at reading. The second book is

linked to the first book and will be the same level of challenge. The third

book is one from the library for parents to read to their child.

Please do bring the books to school each day and make sure that

everything is returned.

You can see the dates for the full academic year on the school

website: https://twertoninfant.school/dates/

Please contact the school if your child is unwell and cannot attend school.
