Virtual Harvest 2020

Dear Parents and Carers,

Normally at this time of year, the classes are usually putting together wonderful work and practicing songs to share with you during our Harvest celebrations.

Due to the virus, we will be unable to celebrate Harvest in the same way this year and we are hoping that you will join us, in our alternative virtual arrangements.

Traditionally, we would be asking you to kindly donate items of food to share with families less fortunate than ourselves. This year, we will be asking you to donate any loose change that you may have and this will be donated to Telford Crisis Support. Our RotaKids group will be explaining what we are doing via video and this will be posted on the website, so please keep your eyes peeled!!

All the small change will be collected in collection boxes outside the school building. Telford Crisis Support will then tell us how many food parcels we have managed to fund.

We hope that you can join us in collecting for a very needed local cause this Harvest time.

More details to follow from our Rotakids.

Kind regards

Year 4 Egyptian Day

We are very excited to announce that on Monday 5th October, we will be having an Egyptian Day in Year 4, which will be run by the same organisation who delivered the Stone Age Day in Year 3. Please visit parent pay for more information about making a voluntary contribution towards the day.

Many thanks

Y4 Homework Reminder

Please encourage your child to read and practise their spellings and times tables regularly throughout the week.

Spelling sheets are stuck in your child’s diary every Friday for children to practise their spellings throughout the following week.

Times table homework can be found in their yellow times table books.

Children are tested on their spellings every Friday and their times tables every Wednesday.

Over the last few weeks, we have enjoyed reading comments from both parents and family members about what their child has read, as well as from the children themselves.

Many thanks

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

Dear Parents/carers,

Please find below information regarding Severn Trent work on the new development next to the school site. While the water supply is being fitted next week, there will be limited parking outside the school gates and down Marlborough Way. We know parking is difficult outside school, but where possible please avoid using the car on these few days. Please find more information on the pictures below.
