I hope you all managed to have a peaceful and happy Christmas. Another lockdown and partial school closure was not what we had planned for the beginning of 2021 but the school community have pulled together and we are proud of what we have achieved as a school over the past week.
We were prepared for, and committed to, a full opening on Tuesday, albeit cautiously, knowing what the current situation was. With less that 24 hours notice we managed to re-open school with a small group of key worker children and provided remote learning to everyone else.
Teachers need to be commended for ensuring that your children are being well provided for with their remote learning and for caring for and teaching the children who are coming into school. The Dojo is buzzing with amazing work and I know that teachers are enjoying seeing the work and getting messages. Your positive feedback has been especially heartening to read so we want to thank you for supporting us and your children so brilliantly.
Hedgehogs have displayed some amazing pictures and writing on their Dojo page. They’ve started to explore some animal stories too. Squirrels have been learning about Pinocchio this week and have been learning about money.
Fox class have chosen a famous person to write about and there has been some fabulous maths problem solving. Owl class have been writing formal letters—I’m wondering if anyone wrote one to Gavin Williamson about cancelling Y6 SATs this year?!
