Newsletters from the teacher's desk

The newsletters our class teachers write are a wonderful read. They take many different forms - emails, PDF documents, PowerPoint displays, photos  and very professionally produced publications. They contain a wealth of information about learning events and classroom expectations - and usually lots of photos and examples of student work. Some of them are so beautiful they even become keepsakes!

Teachers send their newsletters to me to have a read of and it's always a pleasure - I do have to remind them though that they are not expected to produce something that looks as glossy and polished as a copy of Harper's Bazaar. (But some do!)

Class newsletters in any form are not just for information - they develop a sense of connection between home and school, they are a closer point of contact than the whole school newsletter, and some are just very beautiful to look at!
