Dear Parents,

 

We have introduced a program to all year groups at school called myHappymind.  myHappymind is all based around helping children to understand how their brain works and to support them in developing positive skills and habits to be their very best selves!

 

myHappymind is delivered in schools by class teachers through a series of interactive lessons and then the children apply these learnings throughout the day.

 

To further embed this learning, myHappymind has developed a Parent App. These resources can be accessed online on your computer, or through an app on your phone. The Parent App will support you as a parent in understanding what your child is learning, activities for you to do together at home and also a Kids Zone featuring myHappymind Games plus much more!

 

To access these materials just go to https://myhappymind.org/parent-resources to create your free account. You will need to enter your name, email, and authentication code.

Dear Parents,

Mock SATs

Next week, the children will be completing Mock SATs papers and the timetable is detailed at the bottom of this letter.  We understand that children often worry about SATs so we give them this experience as a practice and for reassurance.  It also enables us, as teachers, to recognise gaps in knowledge and understanding.  This helps us to focus our teaching better, in the spring term, in preparation for the real thing.

 

Please try to ensure that your child attends school for the week and arrives on time.  It is important that your child is prepared for this week.  They need to be eating and sleeping properly and drinking lots of water in order to stand the best chance of performing to their potential.

 

Finally, the most important thing approaching the SATs is that your child is happy.  To this end, we will only ever ask them to do their best and we are sure that you will be reinforcing this message at home.

Yours sincerely

 

 

Mrs N Backham                                            Mrs K McGuinnity
