Weekly News 26.02.21

Hello everyone

I hope you all had a good half term and have enjoyed the lovely sunshine this week!

There is a lot of information in today’s newsletter so I thank you in advance for taking the time to read it.

Returning to school

As I’m sure you are now aware, the government have announced that all children will return to school on Monday 8th March. We cannot wait to see everyone back in school and we have really missed you!

Our risk assessment is being updated in preparation for 8th March and it will be uploaded to the website and emailed out to you next week. Please read it carefully and we need everyone to follow the measures and procedures in place, so that we can keep everyone safe. Thank you.

On Friday 5th March, there will be NO LIVE LESSONS but assignments will still be set as normal for children to complete at home or in school (for those children currently attending.) This is so we can prepare for all children returning to school on Monday 8th March.

World Book Day – Important changes

On World Book Day next Thursday, we would normally dress up and take part in book-themed activities. As many of our children are not in school at the moment, we are NOT DRESSING UP NEXT WEEK. Instead we will send out ideas next week for non-screen based literacy activities that children may want to complete on Thursday.

We are planning an exciting week of literacy-themed activities once all children return and are settled back into school life. The week will culminate in a dressing up day so children (and staff!) will not miss out – they will just wait a little bit longer to dress up! 

Shrewsbury’s Great Big Art Exhibition
Our pupils have been invited to get involved with Shrewsbury’s Great Big Art Exhibition!
This is Shrewsbury’s own version of the national event, launched by Antony Gormley. Original Shrewsbury is inviting entries on an animal theme with the idea of having 70 or so flags made up to hang across Shrewsbury High Street.
So there’s a very real chance that our pupils will see their own work flying high across Shrewsbury this summer!
Please keep entries big, bright and colourful and on A4 paper – imagine what they would look like hanging high in the sky. The theme is ANIMALS. 
All pictures will need to be dropped off (hard copies!) at the Darwin Shopping Centre, on the Upper Level between Claire’s and Card Factory by 19th March. There will be a box to collect them there.  If you are not able to deliver your entry yourself, please bring it into school and we will arrange for somebody to deliver them.
So get involved (under 16s only) and see your flag flying high above town!

Spring term parent meetings

Teachers will shortly be contacting parents of children who are currently attending school, to arrange to speak to you over the telephone for our spring term parent meetings. You will be contacted initially by Class Dojo / Tapestry. The school office may telephone you, if teachers are not able to make contact with you.

Meetings for children who are not currently attending school will be arranged for later this term.

Speak Out Stay Safe Online Assembly – Tuesday 23rd February

We have been informed today that the NSPCC are delivering a Speak out Stay safe virtual assembly on Facebook at 10am on Tuesday 23rd February.

They have special celebrity appearances from Ant and Dec and David Walliams, and their assembly helps children understand the importance of talking about their worries, and how Childline can support them. The NSPCC are hoping this will be a fun yet really informative opportunity for schools and parents home schooling alike.

Inspired by the WI in Bicton village, after seeing their lovely handmade green hearts everywhere, Bella in Year 6 has been joining in with the Show the Love campaign run by The Climate Coalition.

Why not have a go at making a green heart over the next few days like Bella? If you do get chance to make one, please send me a photo and I’ll upload them to to the website for everyone to enjoy! 💚

News from Severn Loop

Dear Friends,

Have you scoffed plenty of pancakes?! I hope that you enjoy them to the full today…
As you know, we enter into the season of Lent tomorrow. We have a number of opportunities for you to join us in worship to mark Ash Wednesday:
Ash Wednesday Eucharist
Here is the link- we are suggesting a focus time of 11.30am, when we would normally have our service at Bicton, but it is of course available any time:
All-Age Ash Wednesday Service
This is hosted by Pyjama Church, and is available from 9.30am. We suggest you have something to make a cross with, some ash or earth, and a pen and paper. The link is:
Facebook Live – Trinity Churches or afterwards at Trinity Churches Shrewsbury – Home | Facebook. You don’t need to be on Facebook to access it.
Home Group evening Zoom, 7pm
Fr. Peter will be leading us in a discussion – do get in touch with him directly if you would like an invitation. 
24/7 Prayer
People around the Loop will be committing to praying in shifts for 24 hours from 8pm on Wednesday. We will be doing this in our own homes. You can simply set aside some time to pray, but if you would like some resources or more information about the theme – Worshipping in the Wilderness – then do contact Philippa Herbert. 
With love and blessings,
Hannah x

Wellbeing Wednesday gallery 10.02.21

Thank you for sharing your Wednesday afternoon photos with us. It’s wonderful to see so many of you getting out and enjoying the fresh air even though it was very chilly! And just in case you were wondering…Isaac was missing his friends and school so much he decided to wear his school uniform whilst he is at home! 🙂

Please feel to share any photos of half term with us when we return to school.

A message from our local church

Dear children, caregivers and staff,
Sending you love, prayers and blessings at this really challenging time in our life together. It has been lovely to be able to send school weekly worship films this past half term, and we can’t wait to be back with you in person!
Pancake Day falls on the Tuesday of the half-term holidays, and then we begin Lent the day afterwards – Ash Wednesday. We are really pleased to be able to offer you an all-age online Ash Wednesday service, which will be hosted by Pyjama Church – a collaboration between three Shrewsbury churches. It will be available from 9.30am on the 17th February, at www.trinitychurches.org – follow the links to their Facebook page.
Thinking further ahead, we are also planning an online Mothering Sunday celebration film, which we hope will feature a contribution from school! Look out for details nearer the time.
Meanwhile, do be assured of our prayers, and please get in touch if we can support you in any way.
With love and blessings,
Mary-Lou, Hannah and all at Severn Loop x

We hope you and your child are looking forward to our first Wellbeing Wednesday, where we encourage children not to look at a screen in the afternoon. We are sure you will have lots of ideas for how to keep your child’s mind and body healthy but, if not, there are a range of ideas below your child might want to choose from.

Non-screen activities – Week 1 03.02.21

Please feel free to send us any photos of your child’s Wednesday afternoon – we really miss everyone at home and we love to see photos of what you have been getting up to!
