PE Kits & Sun Hats/Sun Cream

Please can all children arrive to school in their PE kits every Wednesday and Friday. They will stay in their kit all day. This has worked really well, giving each class extra time for PE and avoided so much uniform getting misplaced.

Please could parents also send their children with a sun hat each day and apply sun cream before school as we are expecting a few nice and warm days!

🙂

Staff Room Chairs – Free to Good Home

We have several old staff room chairs which need a new home. They could do with a bit of love and attention but still have a lot of life left in them.

If anyone is interested in them please give Mrs Smith a ring on 01939 290834.

Welcome back to School!

Welcome back to School! I hope you have had a restful Summer break.

The Autumn Term is usually very busy and productive, and this should be a great one.

First of all, if you have not yet signed up to our Class Dojo page, please do so as soon as possible, as this will be the easiest way for us to communicate regularly. All children were given login codes during transition day, in July, but if you have misplaced your letter, do not worry, as another copy will be sent home to those who are yet to connect in the next few days.

We have already published an important update to Class Dojo today, so make sure to check it out.

A termly class letter will be also circulated next week, but please see below for some key information you might find useful:

Homework books will be issued early next week and are due back each Monday.  Reading books and Reading Records will also be sent home as soon as possible and should be brought to School every day, so these can be regularly checked and books changed.

Our weekly tests (times tables and spellings) will take place on Mondays. Weekly spelling lists will be sent home for children to practise in their homework books, and also published as an online “assignment” on Spelling Shed. For the Times Tables test, children will progress at their own pace. Everyone starts at 10x table and will be informed when they have progressed to the next level. Year 3 children will continue from where they were at the end of Y2. All children will be given a weekly times table homework activity related to their next test and well as assignments on Maths Shed to practise. Login details for Ed Shed (which includes Spelling Shed and Maths Shed) can be found inside the Homework Books.

PE sessions will take place on a Wednesday and Friday and children are expected to come to school wearing their PE kits. Our PE sessions will start next week. 

During the first half-term, we will also have Forest School sessions on Tuesdays, when children should come to School wearing suitable clothing for these sessions.

It is generally recommended that your child should be heard reading at least 3 times a week but, for our age group, ideally this would be done daily. This is the most important part of their homework, as reading successfully is essential for the children to access the rest of the curriculum. Listening to your child read is important to support the development of their decoding skills and well as build fluency and expression in their reading. It is also great to share a book together and your child will still love to hear you read to them.

I hope this information is useful. Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Mrs Crowe

September 2021 – Welcome Back

Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back!

We are very much looking forward to welcoming all of our pupils back to school for the start of the new term, as well as welcoming our new nursery and reception pupils who will be joining us this September. We hope you have all had a restful and relaxing summer break.

We are writing to you to inform you of some of the changes in the latest Government guidance which was updated by the Department of Education (DfE) during the Summer Holidays. It is the DfE’s priority for schools to deliver face to-face, high-quality education to all pupils whilst keeping the school communities as safe as possible. Some of the changes made to the guidance, allow schools to operate in a way that was more familiar prior to the pandemic by removing most if not all restrictions. However, we feel as school, we would like to keep some restrictions in place so that we can fully monitor their impact once all pupils and staff return. This way we can either reduce or step up measures accordingly and prioritise everyone’s safety.

School Organisation:

Children are no longer required to keep in strict ‘bubbles’ and pupils can mix between classes when necessary (e.g. assemblies, phonics groups, etc.) However, for at least the first two weeks of term, we will be maintaining our classes as separate bubbles as much as possible. Assemblies and acts of worship will take place in hall but classes will be distanced from each other and windows and doors opened in the hall to allow a good level of ventilation. We will also still have spilt key stage playtimes and lunch times as this eases congestion on the playground.

Drop off and Collection:

We will be maintaining the drop off and collection organisation that was in place during the previous academic year with only a small alteration to some of the timings.

Morning Drop Off:

8.45am to 9am (to allow a natural stagger)

Pupils will enter their classes on arrival at school in the same way at their designated doors:

  • Snow Leopards – Main nursery door
  • Panda – Playground door near nursery
  • Tiger – Main door
  • Rhino – Playground door/Fire exit
  • Jaguar – Fire exit near school entrance

Afternoon Collection:

Pupils will leave their classes through the same designated doors at the following staggered times:

  • Snow Leopards – Individual times communicated to parents
  • Panda: 3pm
  • Tiger: 3pm
  • Rhino: 3.05pm
  • Jaguar: 3.10pm

One Way System:

The one way system will remain around the playground will remain in place to allow a flow of movement and relieve congestion at the school gates.

Face Coverings:

Adults are no longer required to wear face coverings around or within school, but staff and parents/carers will be encouraged to do so.

 

Over the next few weeks at school, we will be closely monitoring the organisation of the school and if we need to make any changes, we will let you know according. By working together, we can ensure everyone stays safe.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Mr Glover
