Congratulations to all our Stars of the Week

Year 5: We really enjoyed coming back to school because we missed learning with all our friends! It has been very weird and different this year. We have our new teacher and classroom to get used to. We really enjoy having the playground to ourselves at playtime but we do miss seeing friends from other classes a little

bit. Our teachers all have to wear a mask when they aren’t in their bubble. We eat our lunch in the classroom instead of eating in the hall. It’s been a bit confusing with all of these new changes but we are enjoying life in Year 5. Our teacher and teaching assistants say we’ve adapted really well and they are super proud of us all! By Sophie Wo. and Paige Mc.

It’s the end of week 3 already! I am so proud of all the children, but ESPECIALLY our new Reception class children who have settled in so quickly!

We will be starting to use email to send the newsletter and other documents home wherever possible. Please make sure school has your up to date email address.

Yesterday we sent home paper Data Collection forms and an updated Photograph Permission form for you to complete. Please return to your child’s class teacher (not the office), before Friday 25th September 2020. Thank you.
