Sports Relief Week 9th – 13th March 2020

We have a busy week next week, taking part in our annual Sports Relief events. The Children will be taking part in activities across the whole week and in addition to this every break and lunchtime they will get the chance to try activities which may be new to them. These include mini-golf, archery and basketball. It will be busy week but so much fun.

On Friday 13th, your child is invited to dress in any sports gear for a contribution of £1 each. The Children’s Sports Council will also be running the Sports Relief competition “What’s behind the locker door”, this will cost £2.00 a guess.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Myddle Multi Terrain Fun Run 29 March 2020

This event has traditionally been one of the biggest fundraisers for the school, and we need 30-40 volunteers to support it and make it work!  Thank you to those of you who have already volunteered, but we still have space for more volunteers to help marshal the route, provide administration (time keepers, race registration), do the refreshments and set up/break down the route and school site. We start setting the route up during the week prior, and the school site on Friday 27th (afternoon) / Saturday 28th March.  Phil Savage is also organising a site pre-race tidy-up on the 15th March, so if you can help with that that would be great!

We also need lots and lots of homemade cakes! Everything is sold for a donation so every cupcake counts!

Last year we had almost 250 runners, and with spectators too, your help would be very much appreciated.  If you know of anyone else who would like to help (grandparents/friends etc) please put them in touch with the Fun Run Team, PTA or any member of staff!

Thank you!

Winter Weather Closures

If the weather becomes adverse and we deem it necessary to close the school, you will be informed via the school website and school facebook page. All school closures will be announced on Radio Shropshire so if we are not on their closures list, then you must presume we are open.

Our guidance is that schools are expected to stay open unless there really is no sensible option but to close. We take into account the safety of our staff and children who have to travel in by car, as well as the affects of the weather on the school itself.

Please do not ring the school if there is heavy snow in the morning – your first port of call should be Radio Shropshire and the School Website. They will make announcements from 8am.  If we need to close the school during the school day, we will again post this information on our website and the school facebook page. If snow becomes heavy, we advise that you check these platforms regularly to see if we are advising you to collect your children.

Many thanks for your understanding.

Coronavirus

This is an update on the government’s response to COVID-19 (Coronavirus). Public Health England advises that the risk to individuals in the UK remains low.

If you have a cough, or fever or shortness of breath and have visited any of the high risk areas in the last 14 days, stay indoors and call NHS 111 informing them of your recent travel.

We would like to reassure you that we have no children at school who have recently returned from a category one area. We are working with the local authority and the DFE. We have also phoned for advice on NHS 111 ourselves, which we will continue to do if any concerns are raised. If any members of your family have traveled to vulnerable areas and you feel you need to let the school know, please telephone the office.

This link will give you specific maps and guidance if you are concerned:

World Book Day + Sponsored Read

During the week beginning 2nd March we are going to be doing lots of reading-related activities. There will be more details to follow after half term but we felt that you might like to get your thinking caps on over half term:

Sponsored Read in association with Usborne Books. This will be launched during worship on Friday 28th February and monies raised will help buy books for the school. There will be a book fayre where the children can spend their World Book Day Voucher.

Vocabulary Parade – Thursday 5th March (see separate post)

Extreme reading photos – photographs of children AND adults reading in different places for a display. Don’t be shy – see if you can take some photos so the children can see adults reading for pleasure (books, magazines, newspapers, kindles etc.). You can bring these in as soon as you have them, or email them to school where we will print them.

Many thanks for your support.
