A word from the Principal...
Welcome,
And just like that, half term is over and we are back into school! This part of the school year is often
the busiest, in terms of additional experiences, events and visitors, so please keep up to date with
Class Dojo and we will do our very best to communicate any changes or upcoming activities with
as much notice as possible. On this note, I’d like to thank the FLS who recently ran the hugely successful
Halloween discos and will be organising our Christmas Fair towards the end of term. At their
recent AGM, they voted to provide funding to support a range of new initiatives including creating
a seonsory room, purchasing headphones to allow more effective Chromebook use and supporting
Forest School provision and many more! The support from the FLS is key to allowing us to offer such
broad provision and I’d urge you to you consider joining them to help ensure Ludgvan remains the
special place it is!
Following today’s assembly, your children should be able to talk to you about our new School Values
and ‘Reading Karate’. We have condensed our previous 6 Es into 3 values, which will form the cornerstones
of so much of our character and behavioural learning. The 3 values are Excellence, Equity
and Evolution and children will be striving to demonstrate these values throughout their time with
us to earn our much admired value tokens. Reading Karate is a reading incentive scheme designed
to promote daily reading at home. Children will need to record their reading in their reading records
and a running total will be kept in the classroom. Once children hit certain landmarks e.g. 35 reads,
50 reads etc, they are awarded Reading Karate Bands, progressing until they become a reading
master with the black band! Children were really excited about both of these areas in our assemblies
today, so please encourage them to be discussed further at home.
More details about our new school values and Reading Karate’ can be found on following pages.
Kind regards,
Mr Adam Anderson
Principal
