It has been a wonderful week at school! We are so proud of how hard our children are working across all of our classes. Thank you all for being such a supportive part of our community.

❤️ A Big Thank You

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Parents’ Evening meetings this week. It was so lovely to see you and to share the progress your children are making. These meetings are very important to us, as they help us work together to support your child’s learning.

Important Information for Parents and Carers (end of term)

As the school term comes to an end, we want to make sure our students stay safe. Leicester City Council and Leicestershire Police have noticed an increase in risky behaviour, especially on the last day of term. To help prevent this, they are asking families to talk about the risks of antisocial behaviour and how to stay safe.

Please read the attached letter, which has important advice on how to keep your children safe during this time. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about making positive choices and taking part in safe activities outside of school.

Thank you for your support in keeping our young people safe.

📚 World Book Day: Thursday 5th March

We are excited to celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 5th March! This is a special day to help children love reading and enjoy stories.

What to Wear

Children are invited to dress up as a character from their favorite book.

Please do not feel you need to buy a costume. * Simple clothes from home are perfect!
Dressing up is optional—children do not have to dress up if they do not want to.

Our Day at School

We will spend the whole day enjoying stories and sharing books together. Our goal is to make reading fun for every child.

Special Event for Year 2 Parents

In the afternoon, we will be inviting Year 2 parents to come to school for a special reading event with their children.

We will send you more details about the time and what to expect very soon!

🧤 Stay Safe and Warm

We look forward to seeing all the children back at school, happy and refreshed, on Monday, February 23rd.

Warm wishes,

Ms Harrison and the KRIII Team
