Weekly Newsletter 12.03.21

Hello everyone,

It has been wonderful to have all of our children back in school and nursery this week. The smiles on both children’s and parents’ faces on Monday morning was amazing to see! I would like to welcome our new families and look forward to getting to know you and your child.

COVID-19 School Measures – reminder

COVID reminder – rules and expectations 12.03.21

The above letter has been given to children in school and nursery today, in case you do not receive emails from the school website. In line with this, please see the press release from Shropshire Council below and the following video.

https://newsroom.shropshire.gov.uk/2021/03/plea-parents-ahead-pupils-return/

The first part of the video relates to secondary but a lot of the information relates to our school.

Happy Mother’s Day 

Love from Nursery

Thank you to our Nursery staff for putting this heartwarming video together last week – I’m sure it will make you smile as much as it did me and I hope all our mums, nans and grandmothers (and anyone I’ve forgotten!) have a very happy Mother’s Day!

The video is also included along with some artwork from Hazel class, in Severn Loop’s Mothering Sunday worship below.

Comic Relief – Friday 19th March

Next Friday is Comic Relief day. We are not able to hold a cake sale, as we have in previous years, but children can come to school/nursery wearing red and we ask for a donation of £1 per child for the charity.

Book Week (instead of World Book Day on 4th March)

We are organising an exciting week of literacy-inspired activities on the last week of term, ending in a dressing up day on Thursday 1st April. Details of the competitions which children can enter will follow next week.

And finally…

I hope you have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing all the children again on Monday x

Non-screen activities for Thursday 4th March

World Book Day – Important changes

As we explained in the weekly news last week, we are NOT DRESSING UP FOR WORLD BOOK DAY this week. Instead, we have attached below some book-based ideas for non-screen activities that children may want to complete on Thursday.

Non-screen activities 7 – from Pobble

We are planning an exciting week of literacy-themed activities once all children return and are settled back into school life. The week will culminate in a dressing up day so children (and staff!) will not miss out – they will just wait a little bit longer to dress up!

Weekly News 26.02.21

Hello everyone

I hope you all had a good half term and have enjoyed the lovely sunshine this week!

There is a lot of information in today’s newsletter so I thank you in advance for taking the time to read it.

Returning to school

As I’m sure you are now aware, the government have announced that all children will return to school on Monday 8th March. We cannot wait to see everyone back in school and we have really missed you!

Our risk assessment is being updated in preparation for 8th March and it will be uploaded to the website and emailed out to you next week. Please read it carefully and we need everyone to follow the measures and procedures in place, so that we can keep everyone safe. Thank you.

On Friday 5th March, there will be NO LIVE LESSONS but assignments will still be set as normal for children to complete at home or in school (for those children currently attending.) This is so we can prepare for all children returning to school on Monday 8th March.

World Book Day – Important changes

On World Book Day next Thursday, we would normally dress up and take part in book-themed activities. As many of our children are not in school at the moment, we are NOT DRESSING UP NEXT WEEK. Instead we will send out ideas next week for non-screen based literacy activities that children may want to complete on Thursday.

We are planning an exciting week of literacy-themed activities once all children return and are settled back into school life. The week will culminate in a dressing up day so children (and staff!) will not miss out – they will just wait a little bit longer to dress up! 

Shrewsbury’s Great Big Art Exhibition
Our pupils have been invited to get involved with Shrewsbury’s Great Big Art Exhibition!
This is Shrewsbury’s own version of the national event, launched by Antony Gormley. Original Shrewsbury is inviting entries on an animal theme with the idea of having 70 or so flags made up to hang across Shrewsbury High Street.
So there’s a very real chance that our pupils will see their own work flying high across Shrewsbury this summer!
Please keep entries big, bright and colourful and on A4 paper – imagine what they would look like hanging high in the sky. The theme is ANIMALS. 
All pictures will need to be dropped off (hard copies!) at the Darwin Shopping Centre, on the Upper Level between Claire’s and Card Factory by 19th March. There will be a box to collect them there.  If you are not able to deliver your entry yourself, please bring it into school and we will arrange for somebody to deliver them.
So get involved (under 16s only) and see your flag flying high above town!

Spring term parent meetings

Teachers will shortly be contacting parents of children who are currently attending school, to arrange to speak to you over the telephone for our spring term parent meetings. You will be contacted initially by Class Dojo / Tapestry. The school office may telephone you, if teachers are not able to make contact with you.

Meetings for children who are not currently attending school will be arranged for later this term.

Speak Out Stay Safe Online Assembly – Tuesday 23rd February

We have been informed today that the NSPCC are delivering a Speak out Stay safe virtual assembly on Facebook at 10am on Tuesday 23rd February.

They have special celebrity appearances from Ant and Dec and David Walliams, and their assembly helps children understand the importance of talking about their worries, and how Childline can support them. The NSPCC are hoping this will be a fun yet really informative opportunity for schools and parents home schooling alike.

Weekly News 19.02.21

Hello everyone

I hope you’ve had a good week and managed to dodge the showers to get out for some fresh air.

Did any of you watch the Mars landing last night? We got quite excited watching it in my house! With everything the world has faced over the last year, I can’t think of a better name for the Nasa rover than ‘Perseverance.’

As one of our school values, perseverance is definitely something that our pupils, families and staff have shown, especially over recent weeks. I know I keep saying it but you really are amazing!

With the Mars landing in mind, I’ve uploaded a free e-Book below all about space, which children may enjoy.

News from Severn Loop and Mary-Lou
Dear Friends

This week we have something slightly different for you – there is no new Loop, instead you have the weekly readings and reflection as usual and ‘A Cross for Lent’.   This is part of our continuing encouragement to everyone in being the ‘Church at Home’ through these continuing weeks and months of restrictions.

A Cross for Lent 2021     21 Feb Readings & Reflection

Sunday Worship

All the usual things are still happening.  See last week’s Loop for details.  In addition, here is your link to this Sunday’s new online worship for the 1st Sunday in Lent: 

https://youtu.be/yL1bZ9MWwZE

Pyjama Church will be on from 9.30am on Sunday, at www.trinitychurches.org. This week our theme is Jesus in the Desert, and the drama comes from a real desert place!

For now, sending you all my thoughts, prayers and love ~

Mary-Lou

And finally…

Next week, we will let you know our plans for World Book Day on Thursday 4th March and hopefully we will have more of an idea of what lies ahead for schools for the coming weeks.

Take care and stay safe.
