Newsletter ~ July 2020

Meet Your Teacher on 4th September 2020 We understand that some children may be feeling a little apprehensive about returning to school and we want to build their confidence.We have emailed invites for your child to come into school to meet with their new teacher on Friday 4th September for either a morning or afternoon session. Bring your child to the class bubble entrance – signs will be available outside. You will have to leave them to come in alone as the session is just for children. Uniform is not needed for this special event – however, full uniform is expected from Monday 7th September. Staying in Touch with Class Dojo Thank you to all our families who have stayed in touch through Class Dojo. It has been a privilege to view the fun and learning taking place at home. Congratulations to you for taking this on! Class Dojo is VERY important in our new normal as it is a way for us to share learning online if we are not in school. Please get in touch if you do not have access to this or technology to use it. We can help.

End of Academic Year 2019/2020 Thank you for all your kind messages of support since March 2020, none of us could have expected the effects the coronavirus pandemic would have on our lives. Despite its impact, there have been some positives including the feeling of togetherness it has evoked, as well as our community spirit, support and care for one another. Over the past few weeks, we have welcomed back children in Nursery, Reception and Year 1, as well as continuing to provide an education for the children of key workers. The children have all been excited to be back in school in their bubbles with our teaching teams. Their response to learning in school, as well as home learning, continues to be impressive, as you will see from the range of examples. We have been following the Oak National Academy lessons, as well as making the most of the spaces around the school to explore and play.

Ragdolls Competition This competition was hugely successful! The children had great fun designing outfits for them and the winners received a beautiful ragdoll! Mrs Kass, one of our lovely villagers, donated them as prizes.
