Message from the Head - 15.10.2021

The end of the autumn term. Can you believe it? COVID cases are continuing but they are falling thank goodness. So, we are ready to gently and carefully start on the road to normality. Staggered starts and pick-ups will now be embedded into the school’s daily practice and so there will not be any changes. Our meet and greet teams will remain there for you at the start and end of each day.

A team of staff have spent all week completely re-organising the reading books so that we now have home and school books for reading. After half-term the teachers will ensure that every child will get a reading book to take home to read to their family. The children can change them as often as they wish. Bags to carry them home in can be brought to school if you wish. Reading communication books will be created the first week back for those parents who would prefer this. Otherwise please email the class teacher to give feedback on reading at home or you could use Tapestry in Reception.

Inspire Mondays will start on November 8^th. Year 6 parents/carers will be able to join their child for a Maths lesson between 9.00 – 10.00am in the school hall or 2.00 – 3.00pm for an Art lesson. Please let Mrs Roper know if you would like to do that.

Although we won’t be able to do our usual Christmas dinner, we have plans for parents/carers to join us for class parties and the Christmas grotto and our special visitor will be making a come back. So, watch this space!

All that leaves for me to say is: Have an amazing half-term break, take great care, stay safe and have fun! Happy Halloween!

With Warm Wishes,
