24.6.20 Update

24th June 2020Mr Bennett
24.6.20 Update
Hello, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
As we approach the end of the summer term, we want to keep you up to date with key messages and plans. We know you will have lots of queries about school and classes from September and we will release this information as soon as appropriate.
Some messages for now…
Sign up cut off for next week
Priority and Key Worker Forms close tonight at 6pm for next week’s Phase Two Week Two. Thanks for the early sign ups. We will confirm places and groupings on Thursday asap.
Priority Form –
https://forms.gle/zLMVaudiBDsLcpSn9
Key Worker Form –
https://forms.gle/QGGEXii3jAE2h3VKA
We will keep you updated as to sign up for the final few weeks of term asap.
Work Pack Deliveries + School Books
Staff will be out delivering the final work packs to help keep pupils going till our summer closing date of July 17th. Teachers are in school more often with larger numbers of key worker children, but continue to be active setting work and supporting online.
Year 2 – Mrs Grant and Mrs Allan will be heading out on Thursday with Mrs Keighery taking to the streets on Friday.
As other teachers finalise their plans I’ll let you know.
If you have any reading books, please could you have them out for us to collect. Thank you
Priority Year Groups – Nursery/Reception/Year 1/Year 6
Teachers are continuing to put some tasks on our online education platforms. If children are coming into school in group 1 or 2 then there will be some follow on tasks to look at. The teachers will tell the children what is appropriate for those in school. Feedback won’t be available, due to staff being with groups throughout the week. I will post tasks from Year 1 later today on Facebook and our Website.
Other approved resources:
Oak Academy

BBc

Year 6 Sports Kit & School Equipment
We would appreciate the return of Year 6 sports kit and school equipment such as reading books. You can return these to our staff who drop off your child’s work pack, sending in via Key Worker children or priority children or finally you can drop off at school between the hours of 10am and 2pm when footfall is light.
If Year 6 kit could be in a clearly labelled bag with your child’s name, that would help us greatly.
Thanks in advance.
School Reports
Pupil reports have been written using our new school format and will be with you in July.
Thank you for your continuing support.

Monday sees the start of our Phase Two.
Every child that was signed up and allocated a place will have two days in school with their teacher and a small group of classmates this week.

The day you were allocated last week (Phase One) has now finished. Your child may have changed days.
If you didn’t sign up for Phase Two and did not receive confirmation about your place for the week, please do not bring your child to school. Only children assigned a group will be allowed into school for safety reasons.

18.6.20 Priority Year Group Update

For children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.
For those parents who requested a place in our Phase Two return (week beginning 22nd June), you will receive a text message with the days your child has been allocated.
Due to the number of requests all year groups will operate 2 groups coming in for 2 days.
Group 1 will attend Monday 22/6/20 & Tuesday 23/6/20
Group 2 will attend Wednesday 24/6/20 & Thursday 25/6/20
We will attempt to keep days as similar as possible moving forward into future weeks, but this does depend on the number of requests we get.
Nursery am & pm children will come in just for their session.
Groups are now set for the week. Please do not send your child into school if they have not been allocated a place.
If you do not receive a text but think you requested a place, please contact the school and we can check our lists.
Please read the Phase Two plan (as pictures on this post) fully if you have not yet done so. It answers most frequently asked questions and contains the staggered start and finish times of the school day.
Thank you for your continuing support
