Comic Relief - Red Nose Day 18.03.2022
Tue 15 Mar 2022
This year sees the return of Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day!
Red Nose Day is about using the power of fun to bring serious change to people living incredibly tough lives in the UK and around the world. On Friday 18th March, we are going to make South View Federation all shades of red! Please come dressed in as much red as possible for a donation of 50p.
The good news is that the South View Federation jumper is already red so this could be part of your outfit. We will also be doing some sporting challenges, in school during the day, so please can you ensure your child is wearing trainers or appropriate footwear. We also ask that the children do not bring in their red noses but any other Comic Relief merchandise is welcome.
Thank you all for your support and we cannot wait to see how red you can be!

British Science Week 14th - 18th March
Mon 14 Mar 2022British Science Week 2022
This week (14th-18th March) is British Science Week, a celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths. This year’s science week theme is ‘Growth’ and we will be following this theme by exploring stories about growth in different forms, taking part in investigations and learning from expert scientists.
As well as celebrating Science Week through activities at school, we are holding a competition for you to enjoy as a family at home. We would like you to create a poster or plan an investigation on the theme of ‘Growth.’ For example, this could be a record of a plant you are growing, an art project about the life cycle of an animal, or perhaps a photography project showing growth in the local area. You can bring your completed project into school, or if you prefer, you can use our online platforms to upload your work. (Year R – Tapestry, KS1 Purple Mash, KS2 Seesaw). Please hand in your completed project by Tuesday the 5th April 2022. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative projects.
We look forward to seeing your entries!

World Book Day 2022
Fri 04 Mar 2022Dear Parents/Carers,
This year, World Book Day falls on Thursday 3rd March. However, across The South View Federation, we will be celebrating on Friday 4th March. World Book Day is a day set aside every year to celebrate reading, books, authors and illustrators. World Book Day celebrates the joy and value of books and reading, especially for children. To help get them started on their reading journey, every child receives a £1 World Book Day Book Token that can either be exchanged for one of the ten special £1 World Book Day books or used to get £1 off any book costing £2.99 or more. You can find out more about the books and ideas on how to share books at home at worldbookday.com/books. The books will be available to buy from Thursday 17th February.
On Friday 4th March, we are giving children the opportunity to dress up as a word of their choice as this will be linking to the book that we will be looking at across the federation. The word could be an adjective like black, stripy or adventurous or you could come dressed as a noun like a pirate or a witch. There will be prizes for the best thought out word!
Reading for pleasure is so important and to celebrate that, we are also giving the children an opportunity to take part in ‘Book Bingo’. On Thursday 17th February, your child will be given their ‘Book Bingo’ card. They will have until World Book Day on Friday 4th March to complete either a line or the whole board! They need to write the title of the book on each square as they’re completed. There will be certificates for the winners!
We look forward to seeing everyone dressed as words and taking part in a selection of exciting reading activities.
Kind regards,
Miss Sheldon & Mrs Flynn

Wear your scarf to school day
Mon 07 Feb 2022Dear Parents
During the week 7th-11th February, we will be supporting Children’s Mental Health Week across the federation. Children’s mental health is very important, particularly following the challenges faced by many during the course of the pandemic. At school, we promote mental wellbeing and this half term we have been focusing on mindfulness as part of our bespoke curriculum learning. Helping our pupils to recognise what they can do to support their own mental health and when to seek help from others is an important part of education. Throughout Children’s Mental Health Week, we will be taking part in a range of activities to raise the profile of good mental health further.
On Friday 11th February, we will be inviting children to wear a scarf to school as part of Coram Life Education’s ‘Wear your Scarf to School Day’. Coram Life Education is the leading provider of relationships, health, wellbeing, and drugs education to almost half a million children across the UK. They use the acronym SCARF to stand for Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience and Friendship. We are asking for a 50p donation which will go to the Coram Life Education charity to support the work they do in schools.
Please encourage discussions at home with your children about what they have learnt at school about the importance of looking after their mental health and ways in which they can do that.
Yours sincerely
Mrs N Backham
Bespoke Curriculum Manager

Number Day 2022 – 365 Penguins
Thu 03 Feb 2022Dear Parents,
Number Day 2022 – 365 Penguins - Friday 4th February 2022
We are delighted that The South View Federation will be supporting the NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) by taking part in NSPCC Number Day on Friday 4th February 2022.
The theme for this year is 365 Penguins. There will be fun based maths challenges all about penguins and measures of time. Number Day is a great way to make maths fun and bring about a positive, “can-do” attitude towards it. As part of the fun, pupils are invited to dress up for the theme of the day.
Pupils can come to school dressed in black and white. They could even dress up as penguins! Be as imaginative as you can. All we ask for is a donation of at least 50p per child for NSPCC.
We look forward to seeing the children dressed in black and white and hope they enjoy their maths challenges.
Yours sincerely
Mrs H Kaval Infant and Nursery School Maths Manager
Mrs Kay Young Junior School Maths Manager

Parent Update 27.01.2022
Thu 27 Jan 2022Dear Parents,Sadly, it seems that Covid cases are on the rise and we now have cases, in just about all classes, across the federation.I know many of you are testing your children, and this has been enough to stop some children coming in to school with the virus, as they have been identified as positive (but with no symptoms) and so stopped it spreading further. However, I am asking that more of you test your children regularly for the sake of everyone in the school, as well as your own family. It only takes one asymptomatic case (no symptoms) coming in to school and that child spreads it to other children and staff.If your child has symptoms, please do get a PCR before sending them into school. Symptoms have ranged from the well publicised cough, temperature, loss of taste and smell, but most have started with headache/sore throat/sneezing/runny nose - all of the symptoms associated with a cold. So, please, do not presume it is a cold, please get a test before sending children to school. I know some members of our school community have been very ill with Covid, including hospitalisation in a few cases, and I really want to do all I can to prevent this happening to more of our families.We still have measures in place at school, as we have had throughout the pandemic. Despite rules being relaxed, we have continued to keep year groups separate in school as far as is possible, separate toilets, rigorous cleaning, hand washing and gel used frequently, good ventilation and sending any child home who is unwell/symptomatic. Lunchtimes and breakfast club have separate year group tables as well. The only time the children really mix is at lunchtime/playtime when they are outside and transmission risk is very low.Please help us to break this chain of infection and keep our community safe.Many thanksSheila Pape

Parent Update 17.01.2022
Mon 17 Jan 2022Dear Parents and Carers,Happy New Year!I sincerely hope that you all managed to have some time with your family and friends over the Christmas break. I know Covid did mean that some of you had a delayed Christmas, but I hope that you are all fit and well now.As I write this, I have just been alerted to the fact that the isolation period for Covid has now reduced to 5 full days, as from Monday 17th January. This means that if you have a negative LFD on day 5 and then again on the morning of day 6, you can return to work/school.Also note that if you have no symptoms, but test positive on an LFD, you do not need to take a PCR. This positive result is enough to show you have Covid. You must still report your result on line for track and trace purposes. Please also remember to inform people you have been in contact with during the previous 2 days, so they can act accordingly.It is also worth reminding you all that if there is a positive case in your household, children (not if they are the positive member!) are still expected to attend school providing they are not symptomatic and ideally have taken a LFD test (negative) before coming in. If there are issues specific to your family, then please feel free to ring in for advice and guidance.I would also like to thank those of you who are doing everything you can to help reduce the spread of Covid, whether that be LFD testing your children, wearing a mask, or just being extra cautious when out and about by socially distancing. By testing your children regularly, it does mean cases can be spotted early, reducing the likelihood of staff and other children being infected and in turn spreading to their families.The diary dates for this term and the summer term have now been published and your child should have brought home a paper copy today, obviously all planned events will be reviewed nearer the time depending on the Covid situation.Please continue to keep yourselves safe.Sheila Pape
