Nursery Parents – Collection and Drop off

We are continually reviewing our collection and drop off arrangements in school to ensure there is sufficient space for everyone to stay safe.

We have noticed that Panda and Nursery areas gets very busy in a fairly small area of the playground. With this in mind, we are proposing to ask parents of Nursery children to arrive at school via the usual main school entrance, then follow the one way system down the playground to the bottom exit gate. We would then ask that you drop off/collect your child from the main entrance of Nursery (by the bike shed).

We are hopeful that this will alleviate some of the congestion but rest assured that we will monitor it closely and adjust this if necessary.

If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to call school on 01939 290834.

Thank you for your co-operation

Mrs Smith

Where to get your LTF tests for home

From Shropshire council bulletin:

Families can take-up rapid testing offer

The Government has confirmed twice-weekly testing using rapid Lateral Flow Tests.

These will be made available for free to all adults in households with primary school-aged, secondary school-aged or college-aged children, for those without symptoms. This includes adults in childcare and support bubbles.

The twice-weekly testing will also be offered to adults working in the wider school community, including bus drivers, taxi drivers and after school club leaders.

Where you can pick up your Lateral Flow home testing kits

As a school, we really encourage you to collect your packs so that we can keep the school community as safe as possible. No appointment necessary, just wear a mask and go to one of the centres above. They can be posted to you and there was a link in my main post on the newsletter.


Parents – stay safe at school gates

We are urging parents to observe social distancing and wear face coverings when dropping off and collecting their children from school.

Last year, staff at some schools had raised concerns that not all parents were observing social distancing, and some were ignoring the measures designed to keep them and others safe.

Remember, while schools are reopening, we’re still in the third Lockdown, so please:

Avoid gathering in close groups to catch up or chat outside schools

Follow your school’s instructions on safely dropping off and picking up, and leave immediately once this is done.

Thank You

To all Parents and Careers,

From all of us at Myddle, we just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the support you have given us in helping to teach your children over the past 8 weeks. We know it hasn’t been easy, with many of you juggling work and caring for siblings while managing home schooling tasks.

We can’t begin to tell you how rewarding it has been to be regularly receiving feedback and photos of the children’s work. We know how hard this has been to keep on top of and we really have appreciated it.

We are all so excited to welcome your children back to school on Monday where we can take back the reins and give you all a very well deserved break.

We hope you all have a relaxing weekend.

Many thanks

Mr Glover

Panda Class Home Learning Friday 5th March

Hi Pandas,

 

it’s the last day of Home Learning!  Hooray!!!

You have all done so well, you should feel very proud of yourselves for all of your hard work!  A huge thank you to all of the grown ups too that have had such an enormous task to make it all happen.

We are all set for next week, to welcome you back; with lots of fun activities.

For today, Friday – use this day to catch up or take it easy.

Don’t forget to do some yoga with Cosmic Kids, or PE with Mr Wright or Joe Wickes.

Enjoy more great stories. You could try making up and writing a story of your own.  Think about some amazing characters; do they have any super powers? What do they look like?

Here’s one of my favourites.

You could plan a teddy bear’s picnic and plan a menu.

What would you make them to eat?  You could draw your picnic food on a plate and label it.

 

Why not colour by numbers

Teddy-Bears-Picnic-Colour-By-Numbers_ver_1

Or a crossword…

Teddy-Bears-Picnic-Crossword

Or if you want a real challenge a Teddy Bears Picnic Sudoku!

Teddy-Bears-Picnic-Sudoku-Differentiated

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Remember for next week, winter uniform please, as we have to have the windows and doors open for ventilation. Jumpers and cardigans will be needed too and a winters coat. Come in your PE kits (with gloves and hats if it’s cold) on a Wednesday and Friday.

Best wishes

Mandy Turner

Panda Class Home Learning Thursday 4th March

Hi Pandas

It’s World Book Day!!! – Is any one dressing up today as their favourite character from a book? Go for it! You may want to wear your pants on top of your clothes to match our story today!

I found this article really interesting ‘why we should turn on the subtitles’

Phonics – follow your schedule.

Reading – enjoy your books, especially on World Book Day.

 

Enjoy this book – Aliens Love Underpants!

There are more stories available on line too, if you wanted another one.

Then, thinking about your favourite alien, either from the book or one of your own, draw the alien and give it some colour; add lots of detail.  What will it look like? How many arms, legs, heads and other more unusual features will it have? Don’t forget a special pair of underpants will be needed!

Once you have created your alien, think about and write a full description of it. Rehearsing, out loud, what you want to write before you write it; say the sentence lots of times before you write, so that you know what you’re writing. Have a think about your letter formation and neatness; is it your best work?

Have a go at these home learning challenges.

aliens-love-underpants-home-learning-challenge-sheet

Here is an activity for you to create your own book mark, for all of that wonderful reading.

If you still have any time left, how about having a go at some of these activities?

world-book-day-scavenger-hunt-ages-5-7

Reception – Here is a counting sheet, you may spot somethings from the story…

Have lots of fun with your favourite stories.

Have a great ‘book’ day.

Ventilation in School – Appropriate School Clothing

As I sure you are aware, having a good source of ventilation around the school building is a massive part of our Covid 19 School Plan.

Although we have been lucky with the weather recently, it is still extremely cold at times and this does affect the temperature in the building.

Please can we ask that your child attends school in their winter uniform, and brings a warm coat with them every day.
