The Hungate Echo
Sherburn Hungate Weekly News - Autumn Term 1 - Issue 2
We BELIEVE, so TOGETHER we ACHIEVE!
A word from Mr Broom.
I was really impressed in my first week at Sherburn Hungate and this week, I continue to be blown away by the wonderful attitudes of our children. As a school, we're having a big focus on Independent Learning and Growth Mindset (the 'I Can't Do It...YET mentality) and I can already see the impact.
It was lovely to meet our year six parents on Tuesday and Wednesday, when we held our parent, child, teacher briefings with Miss Horner and myself. We're all focussed on the same end goals of achieving our full potentials and the messages were clear for us all. Thank you once again, to those of you who came. Next week, it's the turn of year five.

Parent Consultations for Reception through to Year 4
As it's early in the year, the purpose of the meetings is to talk about how well the children have settled in, an opportunity to meet with the class teacher and to share and positives or queries you may have. We've scheduled the appointments in 5 minute time slots as we have many children to discuss. Should you need a further meeting, we would appreciate it if you could make a further appointment at a later date.
Restart the Heart Training for Y5/6

September survey gives many positives.
- Most positive was that everyone said that their children were well looked-after at school and that many of our children are very happy.
- Almost all parents/carers who completed the survey would recommend Sherburn Hungate to a friend.
- Almost all parents/carers who completed the survey said they felt welcome when they come to school. You most certainly are very welcome!

Visit from the Methodist Church
Stone Age Performance in Y5
Next steps for us to work on together.
- Almost half of parents wanted to see more extra-curricular activities.
This year, as I mentioned in last week's newsletter, we have already confirmed 7 different clubs, ranging from Nature Club to Choir. There's also more on the way. Clubs will begin when the year six children return from Low Mill.
- 80% of parents/carers said that school encourages parents to play an active role in school life.
This week, we've had a key stage two open afternoon where our parents/carers came along to see what's happening in school. If you see anything on the class Twitter feeds that you think you can help out with, we're always looking for experts so please get in touch.
- We need to let you know more about the curriculum that your child is following.
Last week, our class newsletters went out to all parents, sharing the topics/activities to be covered for this term. Our new website is now well on the way and we've created a 'school community calendar' that you can access/view. Twitter is also on the way and for those who sign up, you'll be able to see lots of what's going on.
