Friends of Messy Church

Dear Friends of Messy Church,
I hope all is well this week? Please find attached our weekly news, readings and reflections. This week on Pyjama Church, you may spot our own Mary-Lou! It’s available to watch from 6pm on Sunday (www.trinitychurches.org), and after three weeks at the new time, the rest of the team and I have finally remembered to say ‘good evening’ rather than ‘good morning’! What an achievement.
With love and blessings,
Hannah x

*NEW* Weekly News 18.09.2020

Hello everyone

I hope you’ve all enjoyed the wonderful sunshine this week. It’s just what we needed and it’s been wonderful to see children running around with their friends on our school field!

Should my child attend School/Nursery?

Thank you to everyone for your support in keeping our children and staff safe by not sending your child in if they are displaying symptoms of COVID-19 or if they are not well enough to attend. Please see an important flow chart below which explains what to do if your child is unwell.

Should I send my child to school

Flu immunisation

Children in Reception to Year 6 have been given a flu immunisation letter and form to be completed. Please return these to school no later than Thursday 24th September so that our administrators can collate the responses for the Immunisation Team who will be visiting us on Thursday 1st October.

Clubs booking form

Clubs booking form – week commencing Monday 28th September

Adcote School

Please see below information for Year 6 parents which Adcote School have asked us to share.

New Year 6 Captains and House Captains

Thank you to all the Year 6 children who wrote to me to put themselves forward for the position of house captains or vice captains. Miss Carr and I have spent a lot of time this week discussing which children will take on the roles this year and it was not an easy decision to make. We have stressed to children not selected that there will be opportunity for them to take on other roles over the course of the year.

As we are not able to join together at the moment for whole-school worship, we announced the names today over Teams with the help of several children and staff.  We had several technical difficulties in getting all the classes online (thank you Mr Andrews and Mrs Erasmus for your help) and we apologise for the sound quality, including where we couldn’t hear Maple announce the Darwin captain and vice captain and where Jemima’s prayer was muted! Rather than spend ages editing the video, and making you wait until next week to watch it, the video is attached below in it’s original unedited form.  Please excuse the part where I called Hazel class ‘Jebb’ by mistake – oops!

Worship 18.09.20

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Take care and stay safe

Any outstanding fees must be paid on Monday 21st and children will not be able to stay for clubs next weeks if monies are owing. Mrs Neal will be contacting parents as necessary on Monday and we thank you in advance for your cooperation with this.

Spelling Shed

This year we are using Spelling Shed for spelling practise and assessments. I will set the spellings on a Monday and your child will then be assessed the following Monday. Please allow your child to practise their spellings at home throughout the week. Your child‘s login details are in the front of their reading diary and the link is below.

We have practised using the website in school so your child should know how to login and use the games.

If you have any problems please let me know.

Happy spelling!

Car Park Safety

With immediate effect, the car park at the side of the school is now only for staff use and parents can only park in the spaces at the front of the school. This is to keep everyone safe and to avoid cars from driving past children exiting the Hall door at the end of the day. Please do not use the disabled spaces at the front of the school unless you are a badge holder. Thank you for your cooperation in this.

If the school car park is full, please use the car park at Bicton Village Hall.

If you are collecting from After-School Club, it is ok to drive down the side of the school as there will be minimal pedestrians on site.

Thank you

Mrs Johnson

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.

Mrs Thomas & Miss Moran
