Newsletter - w/c-16/11/20

Dear Parent/Carer,

 

Please see below for some important notices about school:

 

 

 

As you will know, we had a positive case of COVID-19 in school last week and so the entire Reception year group and staff members are currently self-isolating.  

 

Mr Short (Headteacher) sought advice from Public Health England and this informed the school's actions.    

 

We know that parents and carers were worried when they heard this news; school staff felt worried too.  Please know that the school continues to run safely and smoothly with regular cleaning to help us stop the spread of the virus, and most importantly, most children are learning and happy to be in school in with their friends and teachers.  

 

Thank you to all the parents and carers for the kindness shown over the past week, kindness in the way you have calmly supported the school by continuing to bring your children in, or, if you are a parent/carer of a child in Reception, kindness in the way you've helped us by supporting your child with their learning at home.

On Tuesday 17 November 2020, the children in Year 6 will complete an on-line survey in the Computing Suite overseen by nurses working for the NHS.  This survey gives the NHS information about how children across England view exercise and their own well-being.  Please note, if in the coming weeks you are contacted by someone from the NHS, it will be in response to something your child recorded on the survey and the school is not told about these telephone calls.  This is nothing to worry about; after all, if you are contacted, it will be because the nurse is checking on your child's physical and mental health.  

 

 

 

Just a reminder that if you completed the forms for your child/ren to have the nasal flu vaccination, they will receive this in school on Tuesday 17 November 2020 and it will be administered by a nurse.

Please click here to read more information about the flu immunisation programme in schools.  

If your child is absent, we have booked another session for nasal flu vaccination on Wednesday 16 December 2020 so your child will be immunised then.  

 

 

• Create a sketch map of the woods nears you.
• Stand back-to-back with a partner. Person 1 - Describe what you can see from where you stand. Person 2 - Listen and record what you hear (you could present it as a Wordle).  Do 4 turns for a north, east, south and west perspective. 
• Talking trees - Use speech bubbles to record as many facts, observations, thoughts about a tree as possible. 
• Spin the bottle and head off on a journey - record your terrain at every step (e.g. in words, photographs or drawings) or create a journey stick.
