Friday 27 March 2015 NEWSLETTER PARENT CLASS REPRESENTATIVE SESSION Thank you to the parents and governor who attended this session on Wednesday and the parents who passed comments to their class representatives. As always, this was really useful.  Questions were asked with regards SRE (Sex and Relationships Education). An information session for parents of children in Y5/6 will be held on Thursday 30 April 2015 at 3.45pm. Y5 and Y6 staff will lead this and will answer any questions you may have.  One parent informed us that their child had reported toilet doors do not lock. All have now been checked and are in working order.  A query was made with regards to homework being put on the website. We will be launching our new website and VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) very soon and therefore children will be given their new log ins. We anticipate homework will be on the VLE class pages each week by the end of the first half of the Summer Term.  One parent felt books were not always available on Bug Club. Staff hope to have books for each child available for the Easter holidays as of next Thursday.  There is a noted shortage of some reading books. £8000 was spent on new reading books in March 2012. Sadly many of these have been taken home and not returned. We are particularly short of Stage 8 & 9. Replacements will be purchased in the Summer Term but this is quite disappointing. Please, please return books if you have them at home.  The group discussed whether or not to print Callands on the back of the football shirts but decided against this primarily as other schools do not do this and it was felt our children become more identifiable then.
