Thursday 1st October – Lunch “Sausages & Wedges”

Dear Parents/Carers

Help Needed

We recently contacted you about school dinners and the funding we receive towards providing free school meals to children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. On Thursday 1st October (this week) data will be collected on how many children take a school dinner on that day. This data is then used to calculate how much funding we receive for our school for this purpose. It is therefore crucial that as many children as possible in this category take a school dinner on Thursday this week. We would be very grateful if you would choose this option to support us.

On Thursday this week we are trialling for all children a special menu of:

  • Sausage & Wedges (vegetarian option available)

as well as the usual options of:

  • Choice of bread – brown roll, white roll or wrap
  • Choice of filling – cheese, ham, tuna or egg mayo

Both choices will also include as always:

  • Pasta pot and salad
  • Cookie/ bun
  • Fruit
  • Milk shake/ water/apple juice/orange juice

Choosing a school dinner every day whilst your child is in the eligible group could potentially save you £418.00 per year! This funding from the government supports the running of the kitchen so we can provide a full service for all. If there is not enough uptake, our school doesn’t get the funding and will need to cover the cost from other areas which are already financially stretched.

Many thanks for your support.

🙂

Dojo Messages

It’s a very different and difficult time for our staff at the moment, planning for their class as well as setting work for children at home isolating and I want to do my best to support their work-life balance, as it can easily become over-whelming.

This is a polite request that you bear in mind that teachers can’t read or respond to dojo messages as frequently as they could during lockdown. Now that we are all back at school, we need to really reserve messaging to urgent questions or information that the teacher would benefit from being aware of. Please do not message teachers after 6pm or at weekends as this is not good for their well-being. I have asked them not to reply after this time as they do need some time to switch off.

Please mark your message with Urgent if the teacher needs to read it as soon as it comes in. Otherwise, comments will now usually be dealt with during the teachers planning release time or between 3-6pm.

You can of course phone the office or email admin.

Many thanks for your help and understanding with this.

Consultation Evening Appointments

You will be able to book your telephone consultation appointment with your child’s class teacher from this evening Friday 25th September 6pm.

These calls are a chance for the teacher to let you know how your child has settled and any emerging areas that they are working on with them. Some parents  have recently spoken to the class teacher so may not need to book one of these appointments at this time. Please be aware that we don’t have any assessment data to share with you just yet – these will take place between half term and Christmas.

The booking form will be in the News and Activity area.

There are still rules about what you can and cannot donate….

Clean / washed clothes ✅
Paired clean shoes ✅
Belts scarfs bags ✅
Bedding ❌

Black bags will do but you can collect specific plastic bags from school reception.

Bags can be deposited in the bank during school hours (when gates are open) the bank is located in the main school (teacher ) car park near the school reception.

Happy decluttering ?

All ages and abilities are encouraged to take part (grown ups and children!) and you should try to run/jog/walk really fast your chosen distance and try to include as many different types of terrain (footpaths, pavements, woodland, hills etc) as you can.  All proceeds will go to the school and nursery to buy much needed resources.

The entry fees are:

10K=£12
5K=£8
1mile=£2

To take part all you need to do is sign up at www.entrycentral.com/Myddle-Multi-Terrain-Fun-Run and then submit your evidence (strava/garmin etc) via email to myddlefunrun@gmail.com between 27 Sep and 27 Oct 2020.  On receipt of your evidence you will be sent a bespoke medal that was designed by one of our pupils earlier this year – the winner will be announced very soon!

Panda Class Curriculum Plan for Autumn Term 2020

Please find the Panda Curriculum plan below.  We can’t wait to get started.  As you can see our topic is old and new toys in History and Materials in Science, so where possible we make links to for a topic area.  We have been looking at how we can find out about toys in the past and what toys of today are made of; and how this differs from the past. Children were interested to know what their grown-ups at home had as their favourite toy when they were little.

If you have any questions please just ask.

 

Best wishes

Harvest Festival – online from Friday 9th October

Our harvest Festival will be a bit different this year. We are unable to go to the church, or even to get together in the hall but we have innovated and will be bringing you our first ever digital Harvest Festival! As a Church of England school, Harvest is a really important event in the calendar and we still want to celebrate and give thanks. Each class will be performing a song in their class bubble. There will be readings, poems, prayers and art work. The whole thing will be recorded so that we can all watch it on Friday 9th October in school. You will then be able to watch it at your leisure as it will remain on the school website after this time.
