What a superb week it's been at school. Genuinely. There's a tremendous, happy learning buzz around the place, with some fine, exciting and impacting learning going on. Brilliant, and well done to you all whether child, teacher, TA, or supportive parent, parent helper, cook, cleaning & site staff - whatever your role a massive thank you for the invaluable part you play in the school. Your part is crucial. 

I will actually be off school for the next 3 weeks. There's nothing wrong, it's just I've been called as a witness to a medical tribunal which will last up to 3 weeks. There has been a solid handover to Michelle at George's, and Antonella at Mossy, who will both thrive in my absence, as will the schools. 

 

As Remembrance Day is on Thursday, there will be poppies and other items available on the junior yard until Thursday evening. Please leave any donations in the honesty box. We will be holding a remembrance Day worship for the children and a two-minute silence in school on the 11th November. 

SCOPAY - PARENTS EVENING

The booking for parents evening goes live today at 11am. As is normal 2 nights are available, one is "face to face" one is "zoom" This appears to be a good compromise as everyone has different needs. The only problem I foresee is you not be able to get the type of appointment you need. A worse problem, for those of you who are on the last minute, as I would be, is to get blended appointments, ie Face to face for some of your kids, zoom for others. This will obviously not be great. What we can't logistically do is change the numbers of appointments, or offer face to face on a zoom night etc...... so I know it may not work, but let's give it a try and I'll canvass your views after the event. 

For those of you who are not happy with the appointment type you get please get in contact with me and as always we'll sort it out. There are some things we can do, for example if you can only get a zoom meeting, but wanted face to face, and want to see your kids work, then we can send the books home etc. 

So whilst it won't work for everyone, I think this is worth a go. So bear with us, work with us and let me know what you think. 

SCOPAY - SCHOOL DINNERS

Sharon has updated the school menus on SCOpay, so we're back on track. The system was working surprisingly well, with kids ordering what they want, and getting, with the odd exception, what they want. It was fab. And the coloured bands were working well. I think the only change has been to request 48 hours notice now to order a school dinner on SCOpay. Of course, it's obvious no child will go hungry on any day, but please try and take the time to order your school meals 48 hours in advance, as any late orders, or changes will have to be made via phone, and we cannot guarantee to be able to accommodate them.

There is a new mental health section on the website just beginning to take shape... it has a few good videos and links for supporting young people - have a look and see if there is anything on there that might be useful.

And on that note remember "Self-care is giving the world the best of you, not what is left of you." 

Look after yourselves, take it easy and enjoy the week.
