Conor – Indigo 2 – For joining in with swimming this week and being absolutely AMAZING! He listened carefully and followed instructions. Well done, Conor

 

Aleksi - Orange 2 - For working so hard over the summer and presenting all of his adventures in his very own 'Summer Book'

 

Another super week in school!

 

As you are aware, we have had a few cases of COVID within the school over the last week or two. However, we continue to monitor this and are pleased that this is manageable at this stage. We do have an outbreak management plan in place if ever needed and this would have to be followed if more than 5 people or 10% of close contacts tested positive. If cases do rise, then we may need to revert to some of the plans from the previous academic year (face coverings, no assemblies, reintroduce year group or class bubbles and no visits!), but fingers crossed for now! Thanks in advance for being as safe and precautious as you can over the coming weeks (especially as cold and flu symptoms will start to rise over the autumn months).

 

On a more positive note, I was delighted to be able to write to you this week about the planned pantomime trip in December! How exciting. We hope that all children will be able to access this fabulous opportunity as we appreciate the value of the arts and visiting the theatre as children develop the understanding of the wider world and life in modern day Britain today. Of course, we appreciate that there is a cost involved so, as the letter states, please speak to the office if this is a struggle for you or you require support due to your earnings.

 

School continues to have a ‘buzz’ and the excitement of normality is still part of the school environment. Mr Leyshon returned from paternity this week and he too was warmed by the normality of playtimes, dinners in the hall and assemblies. We welcomed him back after the birth of his third child, ‘Harrison’, and the children were pleased to see him again. We thank Mrs Henshaw for covering the class during their return from the summer, and now she will continue to support groups within the class as she moves to the latter stages of her pregnancy.

 

WE REALLY ARE ENJOYING BEING BACK ‘TO IT’

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

Warmest wishes,

Mrs Bates
