• A lovely week!

  Fri 26 Jun 2020 Mrs Bretherton

  As well as some brilliant first aid activities, some of Year 6 have got together for a Zoom session this week with Miss Tomkins, Mrs Bretherton and Mrs Phillips where we caught up with some of our recent experiences and played some games. It was fantastic to see lots of you and we are planning to do another very soon. 

   

  Year 5 have also had a chance to get together with some PE sessions up on the lovely field at Lady Hawkins' School.  We really enjoyed chatting and playing some games in the shade, including Ultimate Frisbee! It's amazing what is possible with careful planning and preparation. We are discovering new ways of being safe and having fun too. 

   

  Children in the Key Worker group, with Mr Perkins, held a debate around the question; How would you like the UK to be different after the pandemic?  We had some fantastic ideas, as you can see in the photos, including ending homelessness, being more kind & caring and for us to live in peace with each other.

  

• Wet Yet Wonderful

  Fri 19 Jun 2020 Mrs AC Phillips

  Even though the week has been very wet, with the most incredible thunder storm too, children learning at home and at school have been wonderful. We have welcomed more children into school and they are all working in their special 'bubbles' to keep themselves and others safe. Some of our Reception children made the most of a dry moment to have a brilliant time planting in the gardens. A few more voices can be heard across school and lovely laughter too. We know that at home you are working and playing and having fun just like in school. We all really enjoy sharing these special times with messages and photographs. It is brilliant to see children cooking, painting, planting and creating. Time in the garden and a paddle in the river look especially fun. We have seen mask making and puzzles and books with fantastic stories and exciting mathematics. Well done everyone. 

  If you would like to share the learning adventures of the children, photographs can be found in Class Pages on the website where you have to go to the Home Learning Section and find the rainbow. It is a lovely way to stay in touch, not only with your class but your friends across the school. 

  Hope seems a really important value for us all at the moment so don't forget there are some lovely ideas that link with many of our school Values on the website too. Just incase you have not found them yet have a look in the 'Looking After Ourselves' section. Please do look after yourselves and each other. Thank you everyone.

  

• Welcome Back!

  Fri 05 Jun 2020 Mr D Perkins and Mrs A Phillips

  The half term break and this first week back to school and home schooling has just flown by. I know we have all had to adjust to slightly different weather but it has not dampened our spirits as we have found more ways of making learning fun. The beautiful moth that made an appearance last week has returned to visit us in school and seems to enjoy the company of the children.

   

  We have welcomed more children into the school building and they have adapted so well to the new routines and way of being with their teachers and friends. We miss not being that whole school community but are keeping in touch by other means which makes it very special. If you are learning at home please keep talking to your class teachers by email and sending them pictures of the things you are doing.

   

  Our value for the month of June is Respect and I know it takes many different forms but at the moment it is something we are really thinking about as we do our very best to help keep everyone safe and well. We are certainly respecting each others space in school, as I know you all are when you are out and about. Try and think about all of the other ways you can show respect and maybe send your ideas and thoughts into your class teachers. We would love to see and hear about them.

   

  One of our staff found this amazing link that will help us show respect for our world, for ourselves and particularly our wildlife. We may use some of the ideas in school, and share some on the home learning pages but you may want to have a look as a family too.

  Have a good weekend everyone.
