ATTENDANCE
Attending assemblies, workshops and events at Uplands
If you are attending your child's assembly, a parent workshop or another event in school, please make sure you arrive on time.
We are sure you understand that when adults arrive late to assemblies, it is very distracting for the children taking part.
Unfortunately, in future, if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the start time of an event, you will not be able to attend.
It is your responsibility to be on time.
These next few weeks we will be learning all about growth and change. Particularly looking at how caterpillars change into butterflies. Can you talk to your child about the changes in their life such as do they look the same as when they were a baby? Can they describe themselves to you e.g. Brown eyes, black hair...What do they think they will look like when they are adults?
