Year 1 gate for re-opening on Monday 6th July
RE-OPENING TO YEAR 1 CHILDREN FROM MONDAY 6TH JULY
Posted 29.6.20
Good morning parents and carers. I hope you and your family are well.
As I announced on Friday, I am delighted that we are in a position to continue the re-opening of school, following the successful structures we have put in place for Year 6 and Reception last week. Year 1 are the next year group and will be welcome back from Monday 6th July.
It may be that some parents question the value in bringing the Year 1 children back for such as short time before the summer holidays. I believe that the last two weeks of term could be really beneficial to the Year 1 children for the following reasons:
- a chance to finish Year 1, say goodbye to Miss McCallion and the staff working in Year 1, giving children a sense of closure
- a chance to see friends again and feel a sense of normality
- a chance to recap some of the important learning from earlier in the year, so that they start confidently in Year 2
- to provide parents with a break - after such a huge amount of time 'home-schooling', I hope that for some parents, the two weeks with their child back in school could offer parents some space and a chance to re-charge batteries before the summer holiday.
Of course we do understand that there may be some parents who are anxious and reluctant to send children back in. If this is the case with you, please feel free to contact me and I will phone to discuss.
We must ensure that 'bubbles' of different age groups and classes across the school stay apart throughout the day, including the drop-off and pick-up times. Therefore, Year 1 will have their own gate to come in and out, which will be on the far corner of the staff car park (near to the caretaker's house). Please do not come in through the usual pedestrian gate. Year 1 children will be invited onto the infant yard with parents, where they line up at the end of break and lunchtimes. Miss McCallion or Y1 staff will then take the children to class.
According to government guidance, we are still unable to have more than 15 children in a 'bubble' (single classroom). These children stay together and do not mix for the whole day. Therefore, the first 15 parents / children to sign up would be in the main Y1 bubble in their classroom with Miss McCallion. If there are then additional children, they will still be welcome in school, but would be in the KS1 bubble, mixed with Year 2 children. Whilst this would be a bit different, it would still be fun and beneficial, just not quite the same. It is therefore important to use the form below to reply and book your child's place, if wanted, in the Year 1 bubble as soon as possible. If you are unable to use the form below, please phone school.
Is your child coming back to school on Monday 6th July?
Please fill in this form and submit to book your child's place in the Year 1 bubble from 6th July. Ensure you include your child's full name and an up-to-date mobile number.
In the event of school closure/self-isolation...
We are currently providing children with work to take home, to be prepared if families are having to self-isolate or if school closure was to take place.
In Year 1, children will be sent home with some activities for Phonics, Maths, English and Handwriting.
Links to educational websites and other free resources to use at home will also be provided below.
Please also make sure to take time to use the links in the 'Mindfulness and Keeping Active' section below each day.
Remember to check the Twitter page for updates! If you have a Twitter account, you can even send us a tweet and pictures of what you have been up to at home.
