Values Parent Meeting
Tue 05 Apr 2016As part of their personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), the children at Walverden school have been exploring values (honesty, integrity, kindness, perseverance etc.). We have asked the children what values they believe are most important in a person. We would also like to know what values parents believe are important to teach children within our school. You are invited to a meeting on Thursday 28th April where you will be given the opportunity to put across your views. We will select the six most popular values which the children will then vote from on Thursday 26th May when we will be holding a values election day. The top 3 will be taught during the next academic year, one value per term.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Tackling Tables
Tue 22 Mar 2016A letter for home was sent to each class from Year 2 upwards regarding ordering the Tackling tables home support pack.
Please return any order forms by this Thursday 24th March for the Tackling tables home support pack. The money and the order form must be brought together.
We hope to order next week and have been told it will take up to seven days to receive the packs. Once they arrive we shall get them distributed to the correct children in each class.
Many thanks for your support so far.
Hope the Tackling tables practise is going well and Beat the Best tests are encouraging for the children to learn and beat their last score from the previous week! Remember when they can complete Beat the Best in five minutes and under and score 100, you can reward them with their certificate and move them on.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you want any of it clarifying I am happy to help.
