For settling in to Reception and using her words more For working hard with his letter writingFor always following the rules and being a good role model.
We would all like to say a big welcome to all of our new Reception children. It has been lovely seeing you all on Zoom this week and we can’t wait to meet you all next week for your settling in sessions.
Children across the school have been back for three days now and it that time we have been able to identify some of the difficulties with drop off and collection for those families with more than one child attending school. From Monday the drop off and collection arrangements are changing for the rest of the school. Mrs Maude is currently looking at the drop off and collection arrangements for Reception and if there is going to be any changes she will email a letter to you. Please keep an eye on your emails over the next few days for any changes.
We all can’t wait to meet you all properly. Remember to bring a named bottle with only water in and if bringing a packed lunch make sure it is in a named disposable bag or lunchbox that can be cleaned. Please remember all paperwork for Tuesday.
From September and in line with Government Guidance, we will be getting outside a lot more (in all sorts of weather conditions), this will include our PE lessons.
We will be asking the children to come into school on their PE days IN THEIR PE UNIFORM. (They will find out their PE days during the first week back). They will then stay in this for the day, so a change of clothes will not be needed in school. The main reason for this change is for safety reasons; it has been advised that we reduce the amount of belongings that are coming to and from each home and onto the school site.
For the older children, this change also comes about as there will be reduced space for them to change separately (boys and girls) due to them being in their class bubbles.
To make sure that the children are suitably dressed once the cooler weather sets in, we would like the children to have black jogging bottoms, a black hoody or sweatshirt and suitable outdoor footwear to wear alongside their usual white t-shirt and black shorts.
A massive hello to our new Year 2’s! We hope that you are all safe and well and enjoying the final days of the summer break? The Year 2 Team are really looking forward to welcoming you all back into school on Wednesday 2nd September and hearing all your news. From September, how you arrive and leave school will be a little different and each class will come and leave the school at different times. You will be expected to meet your class teacher at the Southbank Road entrance. Please see below for times.
2AD Arrive Southbank entrance : 8:30 a.m Home time Southbank entrance : 3:00 p.m

Please note that on days when you will have P.E., you will need to come to school dressed in your P.E. kit for the day. We will inform you of the days on which you have P.E., once you have returned to school.
Also, please note: You are allowed to bring coats and bags.
Lunches: Please remember to bring your lunches in a disposable bag if possible. However lunch boxes can be brought into school, provided that they are taken home at the end of the day and cleaned.

A huge welcome to all of the children moving up to Year 2. What an exciting event! You are literally turning the corner and moving into a new corridor where many of the older children work! This shows you are growing up! I hope you are looking forward to it as much as we are!
Some of you have been in school in Year 1 bubbles and some of you have stayed at home. You might feel a little scared but that is ok because other children and even some of the grown ups feel a little scared too! We are all going to help each other get used to being back at school and I am sure we will all have lots of fun!
Underneath you will find a ‘Welcome Message’ from the Year 2 Staff. Look for the name of your teacher and then you will be able to remind yourself of what they look like! We look forward to meeting you all soon.
