Dear Parents / Carers,
What a busy week we have had! Jak is now back with us to cover a PE lesson each week for each key stage two class and we were also lucky enough to have the Area Sports Coordinator in school yesterday leading a morning of archery for Year 3 (Jupiter) and an afternoon of cross country running for Years 5 and 6 (Uranus and Neptune).
One to One music lessons have also resumed as have online meetings with external agencies so we are starting to feel that school is returning to the new normal we established in the autumn term. We continue to look forward to the time when classes can mix during assemblies, playtimes and lunchtimes.
Children have worked hard this week as teachers have completed up to date assessments which will allow them to plan work for the summer term based on catching up and new learning. They will be sharing the information they gather with you at the upcoming parent consultation meetings. Mrs Bembridge and Mrs Hey have started working with individuals and small groups on this work already.
Today we have focused on raising money for one of our two chosen charities 'Mentally Healthy Schools', something that is even more important in these times. We are very lucky as a school to have a Learning Mentor (Mrs Bamforth) who is always kept very busy. If you do have concerns about your child's mental health, please speak to your child's teacher in the first instance and they will discuss whether a referral may be required.
I hope you have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Karen Williams
Head Teacher
