Newsletter

WELCOME BACK
Welcome back after the Spring Half Term holiday. I hope all our children and families had a lovely week off.
Class Booklets
Your child will have brought home a curriculum booklet today, alongside this newsletter. Please read it carefully and keep it in a safe place in order to refer to it throughout the half term. It includes important information about the learning that your chid will be doing this half term. The more you are able to support your child at home with this, the more progress they will make.
Coffee Morning
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond the school’s control, the coffee morning scheduled for Monday 2nd March has been cancelled by Spurgeons. We will let you know as soon as possible if we are able to rearrange this date.
Communication
As we continue to work hard to ensure that communication between school and home is as effective as possible, we will now be sending home a newsletter like this one every Friday. We are trying to reduce the number of separate letters and texts that we send out, so please look out for this every week and read it carefully.
Uniform
A few children continue to come to school regularly not wearing the correct uniform. Please could parents ensure that uniform is being worn every day. This means a grey pair of trousers or skirt, a white shirt or polo shirt and a red jumper. Please also ensure that uniforms are clean and well presented. Should any parents require any support with this, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of school staff.
Book Fair
The book fair has had a great start this week. Thank you to all those of you who have visited so far ad purchased books for your children to read at home. The book fair will be open after school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Remember, the more books we sell, the more funds we raise to enable us to buy new boos for the school library.

CORONAVIRUS
Public Information:
The government and the NHS are well equipped to deal with this and the threat to people in Britain remains low.
However, it is important for us all to remember how to do our bit to protect ourselves and others.
Germs can live on surfaces for hours. Therefore:
Always carry tissues with you and use them to catch any sneezes and coughs.
Bin the tissue, and to kill the germs, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or hand sanitizer gel if these things are not available.
If you have arrived back from specific countries (see government website for details) within 14 days, follow the specific guidance for returning travellers.
These steps are the best way to slow the spread of any virus, including Coronavirus.
