Dear Parents At last recent check we had 35 known recorded home languages used amongst our pupil and staff body. We also have some pupils whose language has not yet been recorded so potentially we even richer in diversity at Earlham Primary! Today is History day at Earlham (coordinated by Ms Redman our Earlham Humanities lead) and it is a pleasure to see the creativity and enthusiasm emanating from children and staff to celebrate this Earlham and London project. We have Vikings and Knights; Romans and Greek goddesses. We have Victorians and Tudors; all dressed up in character and enjoying this fun, hands-on learning on the last day of half-term. This project is a reminder of the diversity prevalent in London and in our school. This is a strength of our school, recognised and valued by our many important visitors to the school. Our school community coexists peacefully and positively and we learn from each other which enriches the educational experience at our school. Today is also the first UK Face Equality Day which stands for the principle that all children are treated fairly, equally and with respect irrespective of their appearance. Face equality stands against prejudiced attitudes and behaviours that hugely disadvantage people of all ages who have a condition, injury, mark or illness that affects the way they look. I will be signing the Face Equality pledge on behalf of Earlham Primary because we are a school that stands for Inclusion which is about seeing diversity as a strength. We have specific goals at our school which we are all working together to surmount and turn into achievements. 1) We aim to improve our attendance so that we have no children classified as 'Persistent Absentees' which means that their attendance is below 90% of the term- time. No children should be below 90% unless there is a serious medical issue and all children should be at 96% attendance. 2) We aim to ensure that all children make strong progress no matter what challenges they face in terms of Special Educational Needs (including stretching and challenging the most able children), Poverty or language barriers 3) We aim to build the future by getting great outcomes for our children in their learning Each of these goals are being met with strength and focus by our Earlham Community. As we go into the last half-term of the year, we will: 1) Reach 95% in attendance if every family do their bit to get their children to Earlham on time every day. 2) Staff will complete the annual assessments and report clear progress to Parents before the end of the year and use this information to prepare positively for a great start to the year in September 2017.

Dear Parents
At last recent check we had 35 known recorded home languages used amongst our pupil and staff body. We also have some pupils whose language has not yet been recorded so potentially we even richer in diversity at Earlham Primary!
Today is History day at Earlham (coordinated by Ms Redman our Earlham Humanities lead) and it is a pleasure to see the creativity and enthusiasm emanating from children and staff to celebrate this Earlham and London project. We have Vikings and Knights; Romans and Greek goddesses. We have Victorians and Tudors; all dressed
up in character and enjoying this fun, hands-on learning on the last day of half-term. This project is a reminder of the diversity prevalent in London and in our school. This is a strength of our school, recognised and valued by our many important visitors to the school. Our school community coexists peacefully and positively and we learn from each other which enriches the educational experience at our school.
Today is also the first UK Face Equality Day which stands for the principle that all children are treated fairly, equally and with respect irrespective of their appearance. Face equality stands against prejudiced attitudes and behaviours that hugely disadvantage people of all ages who have a condition, injury, mark or illness that affects the way they look. I will be signing the Face Equality pledge on behalf of Earlham Primary because we are a school that stands for Inclusion which is about seeing diversity as a strength.
We have specific goals at our school which we are all working together to surmount and turn into achievements.
1) We aim to improve our attendance so that we have no children classified as 'Persistent Absentees' which means that their attendance is below 90% of the term-time. No children should be below 90% unless there is a serious medical issue and all children should be at 96% attendance.
2) We aim to ensure that all children make strong progress no matter what challenges they face in terms of Special Educational Needs (including stretching and challenging the most able children), Poverty or language barriers
3) We aim to build the future by getting great outcomes for our children in their learning
Each of these goals are being met with strength and focus by our Earlham Community. As we go into the last half-term of the year, we will:
1) Reach 95% in attendance if every family do their bit to get their children to Earlham on time every day.
2) Staff will complete the annual assessments and report clear progress to Parents before the end of the year and use this information to prepare positively for a great start to the year in September 2017.

We break up for half term today Children return to school on
Monday 5th June
3) We will build the future by working together with pupils working with dedication and commitment; staff preparing and delivering great learning and Parents and Carers supporting the school by reinforcing the value of education to their children; getting them to school and setting an example in demonstrating respect for the school and its staff.
The next step in our Earlham elections will be the leadership contest. We are encouraging children to put themselves forward in groups of 5 to lead the party of their choice amongst the 5 Parties selected to contest the Earlham elections.
Name of Party Position in first round of selections
Animal Safety Party 1st (37 pts)
Star Party 2nd (25)
Sports Party 3rd (22)
Activity Centre Party 4th (21)
All Around the World Party 5th (17)
Next Step The leadership will then be announced of each party and the elections will take place for the winning party to work with the HT to run the school for a day in July 2017 Best wishes for half-term, looking forward to seeing you all back at school refreshed on June the 5th 2017
Mr Kerbel School Uniform
It is lovely to seem some children already wearing our new uniform with the school logo. A reminder that the new uniform will be compulsory from January 2018. Cardigans, jumpers and fleeces can be ordered through our website www.earlhamprimary.com. If you need further details please contact the office.
No Balls Due to the health and safety of both our children and parents please could I remind you that children should not be playing with any sort of ball in the playground at the beginning and the end
of the day when parents and carers are dropping off and picking up children.
Attendance Our attendance so far this term is 94.9%. Our target is 96% and we need everyone to do their bit to get back on track to 96%. Don’t forget the trip tracker: All children with 96% attendance from the 20th March 2017 to
the end of July will receive a prize on their outing at the end of the year. Children with 100% attendance will have their parents invited to the end of year prize-giving celebration.
