You will be able to book your appointment on line to see your child’s teacher in school - Parents' Evening on Tuesday 10 February and Wednesday 11 February 16:00 – 19:00 hrs.  This is an important evening which provides you with an opportunity to discuss your child's progress.

 

The school continues to use an online appointment booking system for your meeting.  It allows you to choose your own appointment times with teachers and you will receive an email confirming your appointment. 

Appointments can be made from Monday 2 February at 18:30 hours and will close at 15:00 hours on Monday 9 February. Please visit https://mudefordjunior.schoolcloud.co.uk/ to book your appointments. 

 

Please note that due to Parents’ Evenings there will be no teacher run clubs during the week beginning Monday 9 February (Monday 9 February – Friday 13 February).

 

Online Safety Newsletter

The  Online Safety Newsletter is sent out monthly. It is also uploaded onto the school website under Key Information – Safeguarding Page.   Articles included in this month are: 

AI and the altering of images- very topical and a good link to our theme for Safer Internet Day!

Mobile Phones

 

The Government has recently written to schools informing us of their intention to ban mobile phones from schools. Mudeford Junior School at present does not expect mobile phones to be brought to school.  There is no need for the children to have access to phones during the day in order to support their learning. The Department for Education will be providing the school with further information.

 

World Book Day

 

This year, we will be celebrating World Book Day on Thursday 5 March. On that day, children are invited to dress up as a favourite book character.

There will also be various activities taking place during the week, with a visiting illustrator starting off the week by working with all classes.

 

Visiting book Fair

 

The Scholastic Travelling Book Fair will be visiting school from Tuesday 17  March until Friday 20  March. We will  be issuing the children with a £1 World Book token which can be used towards the price of a book at the Fair or can be exchanged in some local shops  (Sainsbury's, The Works, Bookends) for a free book (please check with your local store before you visit).
