The government have introduced statutory guidance for the teaching of relationship education, health education and sex education in schools (RHSE). As part of this we are obliged to consult with parents with regards to our new policy documentation that sets out how we are going to implement this statutory guidance into our PHSE lessons within the school. Please refer to the documents in the Parents/Curriculum section of this website for further information.

Announcement

Sun 10 May 2020 Mr Dodd

Dear Parents

Following the announcement that the Prime Minister made this evening I am sure that you are all anxious to hear more details with regards to 'it may be possible' for a phased return of pupil after the half term break. As soon as we have had more clarity around this announcement then we will be putting in place plans and communicating them with you. Please be patient and I will be in touch shortly.

Stay safe,

Mr Dodd

Dear Parent/Guardian

If you are reading this then the inevitable has happened and sadly we have been advised to close the school. Below are details of the optional work that your child can undertake during the closure period.

Please refer to your child’s class page on the website for any specific information relevant to them for example spelling lists or work ideas grid and links to resources.

Topic:- create a booklet that presents the knowledge they have learnt this term in either science or geography/history (depending on topic studied).

Reading:- Oxford Owl for Home https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/ lots of free resources for Primary ages. All you need to do is create a free parent account.

Please try to read for at least 10 minutes a day.

Writing:- they can produce a diary of daily events, this can be illustrated, typed on the computer or handwritten.

Maths:- pupils are to carry out Matific and Times tables Rockstars daily. Reception parents please refer to the class page on the website for maths activities as Ms Davies will set them there.

It is important even if staying in the house that all pupils try to maintain at least 30 minutes physical exercise, we would recommend looking at the BBC Supermovers website for ideas to follow inside https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers

If you have a musical instrument then please practice it every day. Year 4 pupils are welcome to take home a violin from the school.

Take the time as a family to play a daily board game or teach a new skill such as cooking/baking/sewing etc.

Remember that children thrive on routine. Try to create one that you can stick to so that when it is time to come back to school it won’t be such a shock for your child.

Take care and remember to check any updates from ParentMail so that you know what is going on with regards to the closure situation.

Celebrating World Book Day

Fri 06 Mar 2020

We celebrated World Book Day for the whole week, but kicked it off with an extreme reading challenge over the half term break!

World Hearing Day

Tue 03 Mar 2020

We were lucky enough to be visited by Dr Qureishi, father of two of our children and paediatric ENT specialist, who came in to talk to the children about hearing. It was a fascinating assembly where everyone, including the teachers, learned at lot!
