Beer Tasting
A Beer Tasting event has been organised by the ‘Friends of New Islington’ to bring our parents and friends (over 18s only!) together for a fun and informative evening. You will have different beers to taste, with information about each one, plus a local brewer will be here to explain the journey of the hops and wheat in the field to the bottle. Arrive at 6:45 for a 7pm start. Tickets £15 bought in advance on the School gateway.
Summer Reading challenge
Manchester Libraries have been in contact with us. There has been an administrative muddle at their end, meaning children across all schools in Manchester are missing cards.The library has now realised that the children with missing cards are those who are already library members. They have said that they won’t be sending new cards to those children as they are already members so they can go to the library as normal to either request a new card or use their current one.
An advance date for your diary – 8th September
We will be holding two ‘Meet the Teacher’ sessions on Thursday 8th September.
This will be a chance for you to come into the classroom, to sit alongside your children, and for the teacher to run through organisational and academic expectations with you.
We appreciate that not everyone will be able to attend in person, and so one session will be run on Google Meet, as well as the slides being sent out to all parents after the event.
The sessions will be held at 3pm in person, and then at 4:30 via Google meet.
