Friday 7th January 2022

Please can we take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year. 

 

  • Important Sporting Dates for next week.

Y6 Sports Hall Athletics – Tuesday 11th Jan (full class) 

Y4 Sports Hall Athletics – Wednesday 12th Jan (full class) 

 

  • Valentines Disco

We have made the decision to postpone the school Valentine’s disco and hopefully host a Jubilee disco for all children in May/June. Whilst we are aiming to still go ahead with most school events, we felt that this PTA event would be better placed in the Summer term. 

 

  • PTA meeting 

As a result of current COVID cases and logistical issues relating to organising events, the Spring Term planning meeting has been delayed until 4th March 2022. This will be to discuss events such as the Easter Raffle and any other Spring/Summer events. We are hoping this meeting can be face to face but will confirm closer to the date. 

 

  • Y6/Reception Buddies Assembly 

  Unless we are instructed otherwise, we are delighted that there will be a return to class assemblies this term but we will need to be mindful of COVID precautions. The Year 6 and Reception children will have their ‘Buddies assembly’ on Wednesday 19th January at 9am. 

The 9am performance will be for adults only as the whole school (children) will see class assemblies at an alternative time.  To safely distance visitors, we can welcome a maximum capacity of 60 parents into the hall this term and therefore we can only invite one adult per family to the assembly (separated families may have one ticket per family). Please contact our enquiries email ([email protected] ) or see Mrs Simpson at the office from Monday 10th January to collect/request your one free ticket. Like our Christmas performances all visitors must wear masks, sanitise their hands, have a ticket and have no COVID symptoms.  Please note, we will also film and place on Google Classroom for any family members who can not attend.
