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!
