Sycamore Class Year 3 & 4
Welcome to the class of 2019/20. A whole new chapter! New classmates, new staff, new challenges and a even a new(ish) classroom! - Mr Cawte (Classteacher), Mrs MacDonald (Teaching Assistant) and Miss Smith (Teaching student).
Thank you for your continued support with your child's education. Here is some important information to help things run smoothly
PE Days
Please make sure your child has a full, named PE kit. They need indoor and outdoor kit please – T shirt, shorts and trainers are essential items. (See website for uniform & PE list). Thursday is the PE day for Sycamore Class.
Start of the Day
Please escort your child to the classroom door and wait with your child until the teacher is there to open at 8:45am. We would appreciate it if you can say your goodbyes at the door as the cloakroom can become very busy. The door will close at 9:00am, if you arrive after this time please go round to the office.
End of Day
KS2 children finish at 3.30pm. Parents should wait outside the class door on the patio. In the interests of child safety, please do not enter the school building at the end of the day. If you wish to speak to your child’s teacher then please be patient and wait until the teacher is free. Our main priority is ensuring that the children in our care are handed over to their parent or carer.
Safeguarding
Please let school know if somebody else is picking up your child at the end of the day.
For E-Safety and other safeguarding advice, see our Safeguarding pages
Homework
Read together, enjoy books and bedtime stories and do some times tables practice.
Communication
As always, if you would like to discuss or chat about anything, we are available for a quick catch up at the start of the day at 8.45am or after school when all the children have been dismissed. For an appointment, please contact the office in person, by phone (563760) or email admin@coppicevalley.n-yorks.sch.uk
Welcome Meeting: Tuesday 10th September – Apple and Sycamore welcome event at 3:00pm in Sycamore Classroom.
