Dear Children, Parents and Carers,
Thank you all for another superb week of learning and fun at our school.
It has been such a busy week at Balladen again this week. We have had a number of parent / carer education sessions held in what used to be the childrens centre this week. The session were led by LCC and whilst there were not a huge number of parents and carers attending the sessions were very informative.
Just to remind Year 2 and Year 6 parents and carers that SATS are coming up for both of these year groups in the near future. BOth classes have been working extremely hard, since they joined Balladen, but more especially in the last couple of months. Please ensure that the children have lots of sleep and eat as well as they can over the next few weeks. We are really looking forward to seeing how well the children show off all of their incredible skills!
We are looking for some parents and carers to join our governing body. Those who are interested please some and have a chat with me at the gate or at any time I am available.
I look forward to seeing all of those Tuesday smiles.
With respect,
Mr Neil Ringrose
