Thank you so very much to everyone who volunteered their time today to tidy around the school grounds, it looks fantastic.

Special Thank you to Mr Savage for organising the troops.

You are all amazing and we appreciate your efforts so much.

Please can we ask that NO pencil sharpeners are brought into school from home.

School will supply these for the pupils as and when they are required.

Class Teachers will be checking pupils pencil cases tomorrow (Thursday 12/03/2020 and any sharpeners found will be returned to parents by Mrs Smith at the end of the school day.

We appreciate your full support with this.

Please can we remind parents that if your child becomes unwell with sickness and/or diarrhoea, they should not return to school for 48 hours following their last episode of sickness and/or diarrhoea.

If you have any questions regarding this please do not hesitate to contact school on 01939 290834

We have had a busy week so far. The Children have taken part in Relay races, Basket Ball and Archery during their break and lunchtimes. We have also had children running their miles towards the Shropshire Half Marathon.

Just a reminder that on Friday 13th, your child is invited to dress in any sports gear for a contribution of £1 each. The Children’s Sports Council are running the Sports Relief competition “What’s behind the locker door”, which costs £2.00 a guess. If you would like your child to have a go please send them in with the correct money.

As part of the World Book Day experience and the sponsored read which has been very popular, Kath Saunders, Usborne Books will be coming into school on Thursday with a selection of books for different age ranges.

Each class will have the opportunity during the day on Thursday to view these fantastic books. If your child decides they are keen on a book, Kath will give them a post it note with the price of the book written on it and this will be brought home by your child.

If you would like your child to purchase this book please come into school at the end of the school day on Friday 13th March, with your child, see Kath and she will do the rest!. If you are unable to come into school please send your child with the correct money and we will assist them.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with school.

Unfortunately Mr Rickards is unwell and unable to do his lessons at Myddle today.

We have tentatively moved these lessons to Friday morning instead. Guitars are OK to be left in school until then if necessary.

I will update the website if Friday’s lessons have to be cancelled.

Many Thanks

Mrs Smith

As a country we remain in limbo at the moment, but we are taking some precautionary measures at school.

We would like to reassure you that we are receiving daily updates from the Department of Education and our own local authority and acting on these as instructed.

We don’t anticipate that the school will have to close but we would like to be prepared just in case we are required to set learning activities for the children to complete on line at home.

Please can we ask that ALL families take the time to visit the links below and check that they are able to access these sites this week. It will be much easier to sort out any issues when we are in school, rather than if we have been asked to close.

If we were asked to close, your teachers would put a link to daily maths and English activities on the class page of the school website.

All classes will be given a log in to ‘Class Dojo‘ so that you would be able to communicate with the teacher during usual school hours if you needed help with the task. Some classes are already up and running with this, and some will be given a letter this week with details.

The website ‘Twinkl‘ will provide free access to all of its resources to parents/carers in the event of a school closure. Your teachers may use this site as part of their on-line activities.

Every child has a log in to Times Table Rockstars which should also be used at home in the event of school closure.

Make sure you are subscribed to our school website and are able to get notifications for your child’s class.

Our cleaning team have had their own briefing from Shire Services about coronavirus procedures and we have asked them to target key areas of school such as handles, doors and tables.

In collective worship, we have spoken to children about handwashing and they have seen an easy to understand video clip, which you can watch here.

Thank you for your support with this. We would like to reassure you that there would be no consequences for children unable to complete any on-line work, as we appreciate that for some families this would be a very stressful and difficult time.

We are sorry but there will be NO pork available tomorrow.

Your child will be able to choose from either Beef or Chicken with their roast dinner.

Please accept our apologises for this late change which is beyond our control.
