• Zoom Session Yrs 1-6

  Sun 07 Jun 2020

  Dear Parents/Carers

   

  As school continues to be closed during these unprecedented times, our teachers in Years 1-6 are excited to be hosting a ‘zoom’ session each morning this week and next, Monday to Thursday.

   

  Each session will be for no longer than an hour and teachers will spend some time chatting with the class and sharing the days learning. Children in class will also be able to see each other and have a short ‘catch-up.’

   

  On class pages, you will receive a meeting ID and the password will be sent via text; please use this to log on to your class meeting. Please ensure the school office have your up-to-date contact number for you to receive the text.

   

  Work packs will be available to collect from outside of school from lunchtime each Thursday for those who have requested a paper copy.

   

  Take care and keep safe,

   

   

  Mrs K Tustin

• Being Kind Online

  Wed 20 May 2020

  The theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is kindness. It’s been chosen because of its ability to strengthen relationships, develop a sense of community and deepen solidarity. It seems an appropriate choice given the current times. That’s why this week, in support of Mental Health Awareness Week, we wanted to help promote the message of displaying kindness online and to remind people how often, something so small can have such a big influence.

  We have some very exciting news. The author Luke Temple has made his fantastic book 'Felix Dashwood and the Mutating Mansion' free to download so we thought we would share it with you! 

  Also, he has created an activity booklet . This contains lots of the tools he uses to help make his books really exciting, fun and scary to read. We hope you enjoy using the tools to have a go at your own writing and drawing. 

  Inside this activity booklet is a competition to win a signed book and a visit to our school from Luke Temple! Plus everyone who enters will be sent a brand new Luke Temple short story. No one has read the story yet. If you enter the competition, you will be one of the first people to ever read it!

  Good luck

• Home Learning

  Fri 17 Apr 2020

  With schools now closed, you may be worrying about how your child is going to keep up with their learning. We know that everyone’s situation is different and you’re already doing the most important job by supporting your children through what’s a really uncertain time for them, so don’t worry, no one expects you to be a teacher! Remember, they’re learning all the time from all the things you do together.

   

  For now, if you can, keep checking the class pages and Purple Mash as the teachers continue to set new work activities and ideas for your children to do.

• Get Epic

  Wed 25 Mar 2020

  As you may probably know, the school have signed the children up for a website called Get Epic which is full of some incredible books of many different genres. The books can even be read to the children.

  Unfortunately, this is only available during school hours.

  However, since the schools have been closing, they are offering to let the children use the website out of school hours with a parent/guardian's email.

  Therefore, if you send us your email address, your child's name and their year, we should be able to provide your child with more access.

• Keeping yourself healthy (physically and mentally)

  Wed 25 Mar 2020

  General cleanliness and personal hygiene have never been more important. Whilst the advice around thoroughly washing our hands continues, it’s also important we consider how we clean and disinfect objects and surfaces, particularly our electronic devices.

   

  Also, staying positive and trying to implement little things like physical exercise, a healthy diet or getting a good night’s sleep, can have enormous positive results on our mental and physical well-being during these times.

   

  Take a look at our Online Safety page to see the updated guides for parents on 'How to clean devices' and 'How to Maintain Good Mental Wellbeing During Isolation'.

• Fake News

  Wed 18 Mar 2020
  Times like now, many people on social media are sharing fake news. As parents, guardians and teaching staff, we should be able to help children understand how to spot fake news as it can negatively impact on their mental health. Look on our Online Safety page to see the latest information on how to spot fake news.

• Class page updates

  Wed 18 Mar 2020
