The Bishop’s Harvest Appeal 2017 – Full of Beans

The 2017 Bishop’s Harvest Appeal, ‘Full of Beans’, is supporting the development of community projects which transform the lives of people in the remote rural villages of the Philippines – in the Tinglayan mountain district. They have discovered their soil is perfect for growing high quality beans.

KS1 and KS2 children share stories about the Philippines and the bean projects at the Harvest Festival at St Augustines Church on Thursday 28th September. We give thanks as we count our blessings through prayers, stories and poems. Food donations will be given to the Wormley Food Bank and money donations will go to the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal.

Early Years Harvest Festival

On Tuesday 26th September Reverend Quant led our Harvest Festivals for children and families in Nursery and Reception. He told the story of Moses who led the Israelites through the desert and asked God to provide food for his people. The children sang Harvest songs and brought donations of food for the Wormley Food Bank. We are learning to share our blessings.

It was a lovely occasion, shared by families. Thank you to Reverend Quant who entertained us with stories and interesting props! That’s Reverend Quant in the tent.

Attendance

Research indicates that regular attendance leads to better academic achievement and social development.  At Wormley we expect a minimum of 96% attendance. Although 90% might sound OK it is almost 4 weeks absence!

How can parents/carers help?

Unplanned absence: Call the school absence line before 9am. If we have not heard from you we will text/call and expect that you will reply. Unexplained absences will be followed-up.

Planned absence: Complete an absence request form (available at front reception) and return it to school at least 2 weeks prior to the absence. Medical evidence may be requested.

Medical appointments: Where possible, medical appointments should be made out of school hours. Children need to return after appointments if appropriate.

Holidays: Holidays in term time will not be authorised and should not be booked

Lateness: Ensure the children are in school on time. If you are late, you must register the children at front reception. Persistent lateness is not fair on the child and negatively affects their learning.

If your child is experiencing any difficulties that are affecting their attendance please speak with the class teacher immediately. It is important that we work together to ensure your child is safe, happy and ready to learn!

Thank you for your support.
