Good morning Y5&6 and welcome to the 1st day of a new month – July. It’s the final month of your time in Y6 or Y5 so let’s continue for the final 3 weeks with the same effort, work ethic and focus that you have done for the rest of the year.

Year 6 Virtual Leaver’s Service

Year 6 parents and carers:

We are busy planning a virtual leaver’s service for you using ZOOM.  This will take place on Wednesday 15th July, so that all the children can be at home and watch / take part with their families.  We still plan to invite all the year 6 back in the autumn term for some face to face celebrations, but this platform will allow us to share memories and photos of their time at Myddle now. We anticipate that it will be at 1pm but more details and a Zoom invitation will follow.

Year 6 Bike-ability cancelled

Year 6 parents and carers:

The bike-ability that was booked for Wednesday 15th July will no longer be going ahead. We are unable to have outside providers come to school at this time and work with our children.

Important information re. holidays this term

Dear parents and carers,

We have had a few people let us know that they are taking a family holiday before we break up from school this term.  For the children that are currently in school with us, there won’t be any penalty for doing this. However, you will not be able to bring your child back into school into one of our bubbles when you return from holiday. Despite the fact that there have been some easing of regulations and to isolating rules following travel abroad, we are not prepared to take the risk of someone re-entering school having been to a different country, or indeed a different part of this country. We hope you understand the reasoning behind this and will support us with this decision. It would not be fair to the school staff or the rest of the children in the bubble to introduce this risk so near to the end of term.

Please also be aware that if you are not adhering to the government distancing regulations out of school, we have the right to ask that your child does not attend school at this time. We have had several children tell us about sleepovers, going in each other’s paddling pools, parties and suchlike. We know that these could be within the guidelines: maximum of 6 people from a maximum of two households, keeping 2m distance at all times, or with a newly formed ‘support bubble’. However, we must ask you to be very honest and not send your child to school please if you think you have operated outside of these rules.

Thank you very much for your support. Everything is going really well at school and we are looking forward to getting everyone safely to the end of term.
