Dear Parents,
It has been another busy week, with each year group engaging well in their remote lessons. We have now completed two weeks with extra children in school and we love seeing more of them.
There have been a couple of exciting announcements made this week. The first from Mr Barendse, who has organised our first Virtual Sports Day for for next Friday. Everyone from will be competing from home and recording their times and achievements. It's going to be an exciting day and we can't wait to see which house will bring home the cup. As a reminder, there will be no remote teaching on Sports Day and no school for our Early Years
Our second announcement relates to the wellbeing of pupils, which in the current circumstances is more important than ever. We have sent out letters to parents this week inviting children from Years 1 - 5 to come into school for a 45 minute wellbeing session next week. I'm afraid it isn't practical to host this sort of event for our Early Years children, and we plan to invite the Year 6 pupils in closer to the end of term, but we are delighted to offer this opportunity to the other year groups who must be missing school and their friends enormously. We will of course be observing social distancing and following government guidelines. These sessions are optional, but we hope they will provide the children with a much-needed boost, and as Mrs Skorupska reminded me, "We need physical distancing, not social distancing."
