PE clarification

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I understand from viewing social media that some parents are asking for clarification linked to the change in procedure with PE kit.

 

We really do understand that it is not ideal and we promise to revert back to normal as soon as it is safe to do so.

 

We place a high priority on PE in our curriculum and really do want our children outside in the fresh air as much as possible.

 

Some parents were worried their children would be cold. We are happy for children to wear outdoor PE kit each PE day if that helps. Clearly we will not be allowing your children to get soaking wet during PE and expecting them to sit in wet clothes for the rest of the day. Our PE coaches are fully aware of this.

 

We are not allowing PE kits to be borrowed from school, due to ongoing threats of the virus, so please support us in making sure your child/children are correctly dressed on the PE days.

 

If you have any further concerns please do call the office on 01952 387720 and the team will be happy to help.

 

Kind regards

Our self portraits

Last week for our ‘all about us week’ we drew our self portraits using a mirror. This afternoon we coloured them in using oil pastels whilst listening to some relaxing music.

Hand sanitiser

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We are moving to a more streamlined system in school which will ensure that children spend as much time as possible in lesson time.

 

We are retaining thorough hand washing at key times, such as following a toilet visit or before lunch. Where the children have been only in contact with their ‘bubble’ we will be reverting to the hand sanitiser option.

 

If for some reason you want your child to use ‘home provided’ hand sanitiser, please let your child’s class teacher know as soon as you can.

 

Many thanks for your support.

Homes topic

If your child is in the older room for 3 and 4 year old’s called Mighty oaks, our current theme is “Homes”.  Please can you support this topic by sending in a photograph of your home and a picture of your family.  We will talk about these pictures and display them in class next week and would ideally like to share them on Monday 7th September.

Thank you for your support in advance.

Start of term

Thank you for all of your patience at the start of term with our new dropping off and collection arrangements.  The children have coped really well and we are super proud of them.

Going forward, we would love to share your child’s progress using the app evidence me.  This allows us to share photographs of your child with you and for you to send in pictures of their progress at home.  If you would like to participate in this please email your permission to the office stating that you would like to take part in the parent share aspect of evidence me.  The office email address is newdale.nursery@taw.org.uk

In addition, we would like you to check that you have put names on your child’s possessions so that we can ensure that we send them home with the correct things.  This needs to include their water bottles, coats, pack lunch boxes and school bags.

Please also register on the website as a parent/carer with a child in nursery.  As communication is digital we need to ensure that you receive all of the messages and this enables you to receive the latest information.

On a final note, if your child is in the Mighty oaks room please can you send in a family photograph next week for display on the wall.  Our topic this term is all about our homes and we will be talking about our families on Monday.

 

Thanks for all your support

Start and end of day update

Dear Parents and Carers,

Firstly, please can we thank you for your support in following the system around the school this morning. Children came in happy and smiling, ready for another day of learning. There were lots of children coming into school independently, especially in Key Stage 2 which is a real help to us when considering the number of people we have on site at any one time. The staff on duty wish to thank you for your co-operation.  We are hopeful that this system will not be in place forever, but for now we feel it is the best system in order to keep everyone as safe as possible.

The main school gates will not be open to parents and pupils before 8.30am in the morning and 3.00pm in the afternoon.  Please remember, you have from 8.40am until 9.00am to get your children into school, which may help you when considering your morning arrangements.

You may be aware that some of the residents who live adjacent to our school raised some concerns regarding parking on their property this morning. Where possible, please can you walk to school. We are aware that space is limited for cars and ask that you are considerate in where you park if you are arriving at school in a vehicle. Please do not park in the spaces which are marked with numbers, as these numbers indicate the parking spaces that belong to the property. Likewise, please can we ask that you are considerate to other road and pavement users when parking.

You may also wish to consider parking a little bit further away from school and walking up from there.

The police and Community Support Officers will have a much higher presence at our key entry and exit times in order to support congestion outside of school.

As I have mentioned before, our systems are continually under review. Rest assured, we are trying our best to ensure your children’s safety is our main priority.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
