Young Voices - what a morale booster! It really is an amazing experience. Choir is open to year 4, 5, and 6, and you sign up now via SCOpay - there are still places available. 

Club starts on Monday 4th October,  from 3.15 - 4.15, with children being dismissed from the Promenade Door onto the junior yard. Obviously as year 5 are now operating as a bubble they cannot attend the club right now, but don't worry - you'll easily catch up, and your place is reserved! 

The concert is on the 7th February, and Siobhan will write to you with more details nearer the time, for now though it is a good idea to oder your tickets. In the 1st instance this is done through the app, and school will order them for you. Tickets are £20.00 each, so if you want 3, credit you SCOpay with £60.00, if you want 1, credit the account with £20.00. The deadline for ordering tickets through school is Thursday 21st October, after which tickets can't be ordered through school, you will need to order yourself directly through the arena, and they are priced around £25.00. 

It really is a magnificent night, great fun and an unparalleled experience, to be able to say " I sang at the M.E.N.... but will kids still call it that? Who knows!

Any further questions please email Siobhan 

 

Bibby's farm was superb for Year 6 last year, however, we're going to try and get to PGL again this year. We're going later in the year - maybe we'll know about COVID then, who knows! We'll go on the trip the Friday after SATS, Friday 13th May, returning Monday 16th. The cost of the trip is £260, and this is now available on year 6's SCOpay account. It's a lot of money I know, and if you have any problems with this please, for goodness sake, get in touch, we can help. 

Additionally, we have booked PGL for the current year 5, when they are in Year 6. For this trip we will be returning to our preferred dates of September. Specifically Friday 16th September to Monday 19th September 2022. We will open this on SCOpay priced at £260, pending confirmation of costs. 

All Things IT

We will be sending home your child's computing book this week. This has been a massive undertaken by Karen, and Naomi. Please keep the booklet safe, and in your child reading bag, sending into school every day!  It contains all your kids passwords, and support programmes that we buy into. The booklet should last the duration of your child's stay with us! Nurture them as you would your passport, use them as you would your xbox, and don't lose them! 

COVID CATCH UP

As you'd expect COVID is prevalent in school right now, and year 5 have been bubbled up. This means that they are using their own entrance, and being dismissed at 3.30pm, with us keeping hold of siblings until 3.30pm when all 3.30pm dismissal kids will be dismissed to the Junior Yard. (having re read this section, I think it is possibly the most clumsy sentence I've ever written) This will be in place until things calm down in there, which should be this week. When we reach threshold numbers all kids are asked/recommended/begged to go for a PCR test. Whilst awaiting the result of the PCR if the child has any symptoms then they should self isolate until the results come in. If the child is symptom free then they can crack on as normal. 

We're in constant liaison with PHE who are fab, and give us clear guidance. 

I don't expect, in my humble opinion, based on current figures any other classes to breach threshold this week. School feels very calm, with COVID not being the dominant topic of conversation, and with positive cases appear to be levelling out. 

If your child has any of the symptoms below then they should self isolate, and you should book a PCR test. 

Admissions:

If you have a child who should start school in September 2022 please ensure that you have read the admissions process on the website at school, and at church… all your questions should be answered there.

Earrings!

May I offer a gentle reminder that earrings are not part of the school uniform. Please remove them before your child comes to school. Many thanks

May I also remind you of PE day clothes - red polo shirt, or the red PE top, black shorts, or joggers, and black trainers, or pumps. It's actually working very well, just try to remember to stick to the uniform please, and don't let your kids tell you otherwise!

Huge year-long celebrations for The Queen's Platinum Jubilee revealed by  Buckingham Palace – Royal Central

To help celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the first British Monarch to celebrate a such a Jubilee, seventy years of service, having acceded to the throne on 6th February 1952, the country has been given an additional bank holiday. Alas, the bank holiday falls in school holidays, and we were advised to reduce our openings accordingly. As such, June half term will be extended, and children will return on Thursday 9th June. 

Have a great weekend everyone, and remember, let the children have the chance to see, just how beautiful life can be. 

All the best, 

Andy
