Music

This afternoon we had our first music session with Mr Wilcox. We enjoyed singing and moving to the beat.

We can’t wait till next week.

Our Zoo Day

Unfortunately we couldn’t go on our planned trip to Chester zoo today. So instead we had a zoo day in school. This morning we planned and created our own zoos and this afternoon we went to forest school and we got to be the animals.

Face masks on school site

A big thank you for supporting us in wearing a face mask on the school site during drop off and pick up times.  We really hope that this additional measure will support us all in keeping everyone safe.  We are trying so hard to keep our school fully open for the benefit of all of our families.

Covid update

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I want to update you concerning additional measures we are putting into place with immediate effect.

 

We know that adults are the highest risk by way of transmission of the virus.

 

Despite our best efforts, many parents are not socially distancing and therefore our risk is higher.

 

In order to lower this risk factor, we are now going to be asking you to wear a face covering on our school site. This does not apply to children.

 

It would make sense that this face covering was worn from your home or car and back, but that is your decision.

 

Please ensure you have a face covering at drop off and pick up times and do not be offended if members of the school team ask you to wear one.

 

Adults in school will soon be given the option of wearing visors when they cannot maintain a social distance from each other and from groups of children.

 

I am hoping these new measures will not have to be in place for long. I will update you again, whenever the Department for Education or the Local Authority release more information for schools.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Miss Cook

Nursery reading bags

At last our reading bags and communication books have arrived!  We will be sending them home with you today and at the start of this week.  Please can you share the book with your child and look at the suggestion or question that their key worker has written.  We would greatly appreciate you writing a reply to this question and returnIng the reading bag on a Monday (or the start of the week for your child).  The book bags will be checked weekly and resent home towards the end of the week.
Thank you for your support, don’t forget you can also share their reading on evidence me, we’d love to see photos or videos.

E-Safety top tip for parents

We know that lots of people are proud to share their child’s achievements on social media, as a way of celebrating their special moments. This could be their first day at School or Nursery, a special certificate etc.

Whilst this is a lovely way to celebrate, please take a moment to check that you have not shared any unwanted personal information about your child. It is advised that you do not share the name of the school your child attends on social media. To avoid this, you could cover the school logo on uniforms or on the certificate. This is just a simple measure to help keep your child safe.

For more information on how to stay safe on social media take a look at these social media guides https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/advice-centre/social-media-guides

Thank you for your ongoing support.

E-Safety top tip! 📱💻🎮

While you are using the Internet over half term, please continue to follow the SMART code.
