Dear Parents and Carers

 

What a lovely week we have had in school this week. We have welcomed various visitors and of course our lovely mums came for lunch on Wednesday. Then ending the week in pyjamas surely has to be the best end to any week?!

 

Mrs Wilmer
My first piece of news for this week is that Mrs Wilmer will be returning to school after Easter. We're so glad that her recovery has gone well and Mrs Wilmer and I have already started a handover process to try to ensure a seamless transition. Welcome back Mrs Wilmer!

 

Co-op Academies Trust Board Trustee
On Monday we welcomed Sarah Findlay - Cobb who is one of the trustees of our Trust. Mrs Findlay-Cobb is the CEO of another Trust and it was lovely to hear such positive feedback about our school from her. She was very impressed with the learning environment in our classrooms and blown away by our polite, articulate children and the friendly staff. Well done Team Friarswood!

 

Mothers’ Day Lunch
It was lovely to see so many of our mums in school on Wednesday being treated to lunch with the children. We wish all of our mums and those who take on the role of mums a very happy Mothers’ Day and I hope that you are all treated like a queen for the day!

 

World Book Day
Of course we have finished this week celebrating the power of books - and in particular bedtime stories. Bedtime stories are one of the most precious ways of sharing reading with children in a safe and loving environment. I’m sure that most of us can still recall bedtime story time as children! Look out for photos on dojo of the children enjoying reading today and for photos of their junk modelled story characters - thank you to the Year 6 librarians for organising this.
