Show Racism The Red Card!

We have had a wonderful day in school today raising awareness for the charity Show Racism the Red Card.

The children have all produced some fantastic, thoughtful artwork and we will be sharing some of this with you virtually next week.

We have raised over £100 for the charity so thank you very much for making a donation and taking part!

Wear Red Day – Reminder

Dear Parents/Guardians,

On Friday 16th October, Hazel, Rowan, Maple and Oak will be marking “Wear Red Day” in support of the “Show Racism the Red Card” charity. Each class will be creating pieces of artwork to symbolise the continuing fight against racism and discrimination, and to celebrate our differences.

We are asking the children in these classes to wear something red and bring a £1 donation to the charity. This is going to be a really exciting day for the children, and we are looking forward to seeing the art work that is produced! We will be sharing some pieces of work via a virtual exhibition on the school website on week beginning 19th October.

Thank you

Welcome back Hazel class

Hello and welcome back!

We have had a fantastic first week in Hazel class and it has been lovely getting to know you all.  We have been so proud of how well the children have settled into their new class and new routines.  The children have been super keen to do some work and have listened very carefully, as well as come up with their own rules for the classroom.

 

PE

Our PE sessions will be on Tuesday and Thursday this term. Please can you make sure that your child comes to school wearing their PE kits on these days.

 

Reading book

We are working through listening to the children read and they will all be receiving a new book within the next week (unless they have been given a new one already).

We hope you have had a good rest this weekend ready for the new week.

URGENT SURVEY for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6

We now have more guidance about what we will be expected to do from June 1st to enable a phased return for pupils to school. We know that we have been asked to open the school for Nursery, Reception, Year one and Year 6 to begin with but these year groups will not all start together on 1st June – these children may well have to attend some days and not others to allow us to keep numbers low.
As you can imagine, we have significant work to do regarding logistics, timetabling, staffing and risk assessments. Some of these measures will include: small numbers of children in classes, staggered start and finish times, using different members of staff and classrooms to space the children out.  Children of key workers will still be cared for in school alongside these year groups.

We urgently need to know whether parents of Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 intend to send their children back to school from 1st June or whether they feel it is unsafe to do so due to circumstances at home or school. Please complete the survey below to help us in our planning.

Phased reopening survey

Your responses, and the guidance we are awaiting from Shropshire Council, will support us in making a firmer plan and we will share this with you as soon as we can. Thank you for your support.
