Year 6 Leavers Hoodies

A Massive “THANK YOU” to Mrs Cheryl Collins who kindly organised the hoodies for this years leavers. She volunteers to do this every year but we know that this year has been quite a challenge.

The hoodies have been hand delivered to the Year 6 pupils by Mr Hughes and Mrs Smith and according to reports from home,  have been living in them ever since 🙂

New one way system at school

From Monday morning (8th June), you will now be greeted by a one way system to guide you through the school grounds. By following Government guidelines, this has to be in place to ensure that social distancing can maintained.

When you arrive at school, and enter through the main playground gate, you will see white markings on the playground to follow and guide through the playground to the exit gate situated near the nursery. On your way through,  you will pass zones marked in blue on the playground for you to use to drop off and collect your children.

Please click on the link below for guidelines and photos of the markings as well as instructions for how the drop off and collections zones are to used.

Drop off and collection at Myddle

This will all seem a little different at first, but as with supermarkets etc, it won’t take long to get used to new ways of having to do things. After all, these measures are only in place to keep everyone as safe as can be.

I will be on the playground on Monday morning to greet you all and we are all looking forward to seeing those of you who are returning.

Thank you for your understanding

Mr P. Glover

Proposed re-opening of the school – Draft plan

Dear parents and carers,

I know you must all be wondering what the next step will be for our schools to help you plan your own routines at home. There has been a huge amount of speculation, followed by so many documents from the DFE and LA. There are many more updates and documents on their way next week. We do not want to make plans only to have to undo them, so what I propose is a draft plan which we will adapt once we have all the advice and guidance. We need to audit all the staff and survey the parents properly to ascertain attendance numbers in the first instance.
We plan to take the return to school as safely as possible.  Our local authority have asked us to create teaching groups of 8-10 pupils, integrating them slowly, beginning with the youngest. These groups would not be able to mix with any other during their time in school.
We plan to begin with Nursery and Reception children, mornings only for the first week. If this is manageable, we will integrate year one, mornings only the following week. This will then be reviewed and depending on numbers of children in school and staff available, we may be able to introduce year 6. Potentially we need three teaching spaces for each year group, so it really is not possible to say yet. Our teaching days will be Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
We will still look after the children of key workers in a separate room in the school so that there is no cross-contamination. This will still be 5 days a week 8:30 until 4:30
The rest of the school will be closed on Wednesdays to allow for teachers PPA and for a deep clean of the school.
We are in talks with the Corbet about transition days for our year 6 on their premises as well, so please don’t panic that we won’t see our year 6 again. It is just hopefully useful to know that year 6s may not return to school until end of June at the earliest.
Teachers will continue to provide home-learning activities for the children at home, and this will be the same work that they complete with the children in school. The teachers will have chance to respond on Wednesdays or on some afternoons if they are not looking after keyworkers children.
We will pass on firm dates and details as soon as we are able to do so.  Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Phased return to school

Dear parents and carers,
Following the Prime Ministers announcement yesterday evening I’m sure you have many questions, as we do, that you would like clarifying. We found out the same information at the same time as you, so as you can imagine we have spent this morning trying to get some clarity.  I have met virtually with the headteachers from the other local primary schools and we will work closely on the next stage together. I will also be speaking to the Corbet to discuss year 6 transition. 
At the moment we will continue to provide provision for our Key Workers as we are at the moment. We have not yet received any information to support us with this new plan to start a phased return for some of the year groups. We expect to receive information from the Department for Education and the Local Authority very soon.
Please be assured that the safety of our children, staff and school community is the key priority and we will only begin a phased return when we are 100% prepared.
As always, we will keep you updated but for now please do not worry. We will continue to provide online learning for our children, keep in contact with you and continue to support each other during these difficult and uncertain times.
Many thanks for your patience.

Monday Worship – courage

Please find the link below to today’s worship which introduces our value for the half term, Courgage. I have tried to put it in the context of being brave and courageous during lockdown.

If you want to send in any work you do related to the story in the worship, you can attach it to the facebook post or send it via dojo to your teacher.

I hope everyone is keeping well. Many thanks for all the surveys that you have sent back letting us know how you are.

Rainbows and Hearts Wanted

Can you help us to create a lovely display of rainbows and hearts for when we all get back together at school?

We would love it if you could spend some of your time on a little art project for us to hang up at school to celebrate us all being together again. It could be a drawing, something made of pipe cleaners, lolly sticks, salt dough, quilling, pom poms, bottle tops, cereal boxes, tissue paper or hama beads – the ideas are endless. Just use what you’ve got at home already. Decorate your house with it for now, then bring it to school when we go back. We will create a big tree of rainbows and hearts.

Thank you and have fun.
