This week at Gainsborough…
FroG’s Valentine’s Disco
Thank you to our wonderful families who supported the FRoG’s annual Valentine’s disco. It was so lovely to see so many families enjoy the party and support the school community. It was lovely to see children and families from our baby room all the way through to Year 6 dance, face paint, decorate and make together. We raised over ยฃ350 at the disco which is money that will go towards improving the playground facilities and equipment at Gainsborough. Thank you all.
Gainsborough and the Yard Theatre
We have been running our drama club with the support of Ms Debbie Lewis so far this term. The Yard Theatre have now confirmed a trained facilitator will start with us on Tuesday 11th March to run our long standing drama club with the Yard Theatre. Children from Years 4, 5 and 6 are invited to join this free club. A performance will be staged in July for all families to come and watch.
Reader of the Week
Each week we will award one child from Years 1-6 with a new book, as the Reader of the Week. The award is for commitment, reading progress, engagement or sharing their love for reading. Please support your child with reading at home! After all, reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Improving Attendance at Gainsborough
This week you will receive an attendance certificate outlining your child’s attendance. If your child have reached the government target of 96% you will receives a celebration certificate. If your child’s attendance is under 90% we will be inviting you in to school to set an action plan and target to improve your child’s attendance. We must improve attendance at Gainsborough and working together to do this is imperative. Together we can make your child’s experience at school happier and more successful with good attendance. We look forward on working on this with you.
