Friday January 29th
You may have already seen the announcement from Welsh Government around a potential return to school for some pupils after half term, 22nd February, depending on virus levels. We will keep you fully updated as we receive further information over the coming weeks.
We are now 4 weeks into our post Christmas lockdown. There may be times when children and families feel that they are struggling with the current circumstances. If you feel like this, you will not be alone! It is so important to remember that we are all doing our very best, and that’s all we can do! We must keep supporting each other and, most importantly, keep communicating. If you have any concerns regarding the wellbeing of children, or indeed yourselves, please make contact. With regards to home learning, staff continue to give their all to providing learning opportunities and clear avenues for communication. Engagement remains high, which is great to see. However, home learning can be very stressful. Do what you can in your circumstances, and do not compare yourself to others. Again, please let us know if you need any support!
Weekly Live Check-ins – Microsoft Teams
Every class in school (other than Nursery, which is on Monday) have had the opportunity to attend a live check-in this week. It has been wonderful to see so many smiling faces. All the staff have thoroughly enjoyed catching up with the children. We have received some positive feedback from parents, which means a lot! You will receive an invite for next week’s check-ins. The easiest way to check your invite is through the Teams calendar. Next week’s check-ins are:
Monday – Reception, Year 1 (am), Nursery (pm)
Tuesday – Year 2
Wednesday – Year 3 and 4
Friday – Year 5 and 6
Digital support
If you have any issues surrounding technology/devices or accessing the learning online, please contact the school for support. Additionally, if you require paper versions of activities, let us know!
Emergency Childcare provision
We continue to provide a service to our most vulnerable children and those key workers that have no other option available to them. If you wish to discuss accessing this provision, please contact the school by phone or email.
Let’s hope for some better weather so that we can spend as much time outdoors as possible!
Stay safe and have a good weekend!
