Value of the Month- June

Thank you for all your support with the value of the month for May, which was Perseverance. Throughout May, children learnt the importance of not giving up even when faced with a problem and trying their best in all situations.

Our value of the month for June is Honesty.

What is Honesty?

  1. Being truthful to others.
  2. Being truthful to yourself.
  3. Doing what’s right regardless of who’s around.
  4. Being someone others can trust.

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

  1. Talk with your children about honesty. Try to answer; ‘What is honesty?’ What is the difference between the truth and a lie? Discuss some examples.
  2. Share the story of the boy who cried wolf. Talk about a time when someone told you something that wasn’t true. How did it make you feel? Do you trust that person to tell you the truth now? Why or why not?
  3. Talk about promises the children have made or promises others have made to them. How serious is a promise? How does it feel when someone breaks a promise?
  4. Who are the most honest people you know? How do you know they are honest? How do you feel about these people?
  5. Talk about a situation where you or they have been worried about telling the truth about something because you thought it would get you into trouble.
  6. Watch a movie, such as The Lion King or Pinocchio, in which honesty and truthfulness are major themes. Encourage your child to talk about ways the main characters demonstrate honesty and dishonesty.

Please let your child’s teacher know if we can celebrate any work from home on the school website.

 

Baker & sons- School uniform shop

From the 1st June our plan is to re open our retail outlet in Wellington, Telford. To ensure that we are able to operate in a safe and controlled environment we will be implementing the following changes this summer.

The main entrance to the store will be now through our rear entrance located off the parade (next to Midnights nightclub) This will allow us to operate a one way system exiting the shop from the front door onto the high street.

The store will be operating an appointment only system from the 1st June. These slots are available to book online through our website, facebook page, bakerandsonschoolwear.booksy.com or the Booksy app can be downloaded onto your smart phone and search for Baker and Son Schoolwear. No entry will be allowed without a prior booking This system will go live on Friday 29th May once we have confirmation, we can re-open.

Our opening hours during June and July will be Monday- Saturday 9am – 4.30pm. During August will be operating extended opening hours. 8am – 7.30pm.

Only two customers will be allowed instore per booking with a total of 10 customers allowed in store at any one time. If you need to shop for more than one child a separate booking will need to be made.

There is plenty of capacity of appointments for everyone to have throughout June, July and August to purchase your childs uniform. We hope everyone will be sensible and respectful when making a appointment and not to make unnecessary appointments. Bookings will be cancelled from the system if we believe that appointment slots are being misused.

Masks, gloves and hand sanitizer will be at the entrance of the shop, The hand sanitizer must be used before entering the store.

Following government advice, clothing will not be allowed to be tried on in store and changing rooms will be closed. Tape measures will be available instore to use, which will be cleaned and sanitized after every use.

If clothing needs to be exchanged once they’ve been tried on at home, there will be an exchange station at the new entrance using a separate queue. A member of staff will assist you, no appointment is required to exchange items.

If you require a refund, we would ask where possible to return these once schools have started back in September.

For anyone who is confident with sizing and only requires a bigger size we would request if possible to purchase these items using our website www.bakerandsonschoolwear.co.uk

We anticipate we may encounter stock issues from manufactures this summer due to the pandemic. We will work tirelessly to ensure minimum impact to our customers. If there is an item out of stock, we will take your order instore and post to you when it comes back in stock.

Finally we’d like to thank you for your continued support and understanding during this extremely difficult period for everyone.

From myself and all the staff , we look forward to welcoming you back into our shop.

Welcome Back Year 2!

Hello Year 2, Miss Hailey here!

Welcome to the second half of the Summer Term. As you may know, some year groups are returning to school on June 1st. However, not all year groups can just yet and so will need to keep up with all the amazing home learning they have been doing whilst schools have been closed.

School will be a little bit different at first as class sizes need to be smaller, which means some children will be working with different teachers for a little while. Because of this change, your lovely Year 2 teachers Miss Jones and Miss Newport are going to be looking after some of my Year 1 class in school for a little while! So in return I am very excited to be taking over Year 2’s Home Learning on the website. I am so happy I get to do this as many of you were in my class last year, or I worked with you at times when you were in the other Y1 class and I get to see how you are getting on now!

I must admit I have been having a look at the wonderful work posted on the Y2 homework blog over the last few weeks and have enjoyed seeing all the fantastic work and activities you have been up to. So when you complete your work, please keep on posting the work to the blog for me to have a look at. (I am sure Miss Jones and Miss Newport will still be keeping an eye when they have chance too.)

As they will be busy teaching in school, you will be able to contact me via your PurpleMash 2email accounts and I will be happy to help, answer your questions or just say hello!

If Y2 parents would like to contact me directly with any questions, they are welcome to use our year 1 email address which is newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk at any time and I will be happy to help.

Enjoy the half term weekend Year 2.

Miss Hailey :)

Let’s share a story!

I came across ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ by Dr. Seuss the other day and wanted to share it with you all in the hope you like it just as much as I do. Did you know this rhyming book uses only 50 words and 49 of them have only 1 syllable! The only exception is “anywhere”. Press here to listen to the story…
