Woodlands Weekly | 7th October 2022

It’s great to see you in school! 

We’d like to say thank you to all of our parents who have been able to join us in school for our RESPECT and Class-Showcase assemblies. We really enjoy sharing your children’s successes with you and it is wonderful to see so many parents attending these events.

Please make sure you pop to the school office to sign in just before an assembly.

Parent’s Consultation Evenings

Our first round of Parent Consultation Evenings are taking place on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th October. We will be sending home a letter next week to explain more and for you to let us know your preferred times.

We are looking forward to seeing you back in the school hall for these meetings, and sharing your children’s successes with you.

Reading at home 

Reading is a skill we continue to develop throughout our lives, but starting this process as early as possible has significant benefits for our continued success as readers. This is why, as parents and carers, you play a vital role in supporting your child in becoming a fluent reader who is confidently able to apply their reading skills across all areas of their lives.

To help us track how much reading your child is doing at home, it is important that you sign their reading record every time you have listened to them read, along with a brief comment. If you would like any help with reading at home, please speak to your child’s class teacher.

Eye Tests and Glasses for Children 

Although serious vision problems during childhood are rare, routine eye checks are offered to young children to identify any problems early on. Free NHS sight tests are also available at opticians for children under 16.

The sooner any eye problem is found, the sooner you and your child will be able to get any treatment and support needed. Children may not realise they have a vision problem so, without regular tests, there’s a risk a problem may not be spotted. This may affect their development and education.

If you have any concerns about your child’s vision please book an appointment at an opticians.

Goldwyn Opticians are located on Harehills Lane and larger opticians in the city centre, such as Boots and Vision Express. Where possible, please books apointments outside of school time.

You can also discuss your concerns with a member of our Pastoral team. Pop in or give us a call.
