Weekly Newsletter - Friday 29th January

Headteacher: Mrs L Nicholls 

Dear Parents and Carers,

We hope that you all enjoyed your very first Wellbeing Wednesday. It has been lovely to hear about the activities that you took part in. Cookery, making your own slime and playdough and getting outside in the fresh air are just a few of the activities that kept you busy this Wednesday afternoon. We are looking forward to seeing what you get up to next week. The week beginning Monday 1st February is National Storytelling week and it would be lovely to see you spending your time on Wellbeing Wednesday sharing stories.

Learning League

Obviously, at the moment we cannot calculate attendance so instead we are going to change the attendance league to the learning league. Each week we will announce which year group has been the most active on google classroom, they will be awarded full marks and shoot to the top of the learning league table. Make sure that you are tuning into those google meets and turning in your assignments to ensure that your year group is at the top of the league table. We will review the scores at half term and the year group at the top of the league will win an online party/magician session. This week congratulations to;

TTRS - Star of the week!

 This week, the TTRS award is going to Oliver! 

In the last 7 days, Oliver is the pupil in Year 5 who has played the most minutes per day (18 minutes) and has earned 50,859 coins. This is all just in the last week which is particularly significant to ensure children are keeping their times table knowledge fresh. In fact, Oliver has played more minutes on average each day than any other pupils in year 4, 5 or 6!

Well done Oliver, you are showing upper KS2 exactly how to be a Rock Hero like yourself!

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have received so many messages from parents and friends of the school in regards to the sad news of Mrs King passing. These messages have been warmly received at this sad time and we will be sharing them with Mrs King’s family. If you would like to leave a message or memory of Mrs King please add in the thread below the post and we will ensure that it is included. 

Thank you for all of your condolences.

Wellbeing Wednesday

We are all spending a lot of time in front of our computer screens at the moment, which we understand is a lot and does not always have a positive effect on us. Whilst we know that so many of you are working really hard with the online learning we know that it is always good to take a break That is why we are introducing Wellbeing Wednesday. We want to enjoy an afternoon that involves no screens instead you could go for a walk and have an adventure outside, get cosy in a homemade den, or try and follow a recipe – with your parents’ help of course! We are looking forward to it and we hope you are as well.
