Dear Parents,

 

The end of an unusual week with still more to come. Hopefully the weather will continue to be lovely as it certainly helps make the world seem a little happier when the sun is shining.

 

To ensure you have enough to do with your children the staff have provided some more ideas and links which have been added to the on line learning section of the website. Please have a look!

 

Next week, for junior school children, there will be the opportunity for a parent/adult to collect a learning pack from the school. To ensure you don't ignore the 'stay in' advice, when you do collect your child's pack, this must be your 'exercise for the day' because as you know you should only leave the house once a day for exercise, be that a walk, cycle or run.

 

Furthermore to comply with the social distancing expectations, the adult should come into the school alone to collect the pack. To ensure we don't have huge numbers of people arriving together this is the collection timetable:

 

Monday 30th March:  Year 5

                                                9 - 10a.m.        Surnames A-E

                                                10 - 11a.m.      Surnames F-J

                                                11 - 12             Surnames K-P

                                                1 - 2p.m.         Surnames Q-T

                                                2 - 3p.m.         Surnames U-Z

Year 5 pack will also include some CGP study books which will help them revise what they have been taught so far and prepare them for year 6.

 

 

Tuesday 31st March:  Year 4

                                                9-10a.m.          Surnames A-E

                                                10-11a.m.        Surnames F-J

                                                11-12               Surnames K-P

                                                1-2p.m.            Surnames Q-T

                                                2-3p.m.            Surnames U-Z

 

 

Wednesday 1st April:  Year 3

                                                9-10a.m.          Surnames A-E

                                                10-11a.m.        Surnames F-J

                                                11-12               Surnames K-P

                                                1-2p.m.            Surnames Q-T

                                                2-3p.m.            Surnames U-Z

 

If you have children in more than one year group you can collect all of their packs on your first visit. We will only be allowing one person at a time into the office area, so be prepared to wait outside - at a distance from each other of course! If your child is already booked in to attend school next week, they will be given their pack then.

 

Similar packs will be following shortly for Years 1 and 2.

 

Please note: If your child is coming into school during the day, please send them in with their learning packs (and CGP books for year 5) as they will be given time to complete some of their work.

 

I would like to say a huge thank you to Mr Bond and the cleaning staff for all of their hard work. The cleaners have been rigorous in cleaning the school every night including tables, chairs, door handles, door plates, toilets, light switches, banisters and anywhere else the children might have touched! Laptop keyboards are also being wiped after each child. Rigorous handwashing and social distancing continue too, plus plenty of fresh air.

 

Make sure you stay in during the weekend and stay safe.

 

Best wishes
