Dear Parents and Carers Congratulations! Over the past five weeks, your continued efforts have been nothing short of amazing. Thank you for fully supporting the school and your children with their learning. The remote learning programme is going very well using both the School Dojo or Google Classroom platforms. The level of engagement is good, and the quality of the work is improving. Our KS2 children in particular are improving their redrafting skills, and the teachers are using Google Classroom to live meet with the children, individually or in small groups to focus in on these skills. Miss Ruby has returned, in a part-time capacity, to run the 'Catch-Up' programme with Mrs Ware. A most welcome return for Miss Ruby who has been thrown in at the deep end! She is very quickly becoming familiar with the Google Classroom platform and was able to meet virtually with small groups of children. Although in its infancy, this has worked really well. Welcome back Miss Ruby – it's great to have you back on our team. We will continue to adapt and review our position and the teachers have made further adjustments in response to the recent survey. We are always willing to listen and will do our best to accommodate your suggestions. Please do get in touch with us if you need our help. As time progresses, needs may change as your home and personal circumstances change (see below!). The school is here to support however we can.  DevicesIn order that no child is left unsupported or disadvantaged, the school has recently acquired more devices to ease the burden placed on you at home. If you are struggling to manage your work whilst sharing devices and/or tablets with your children then please do get in touch. We will quickly assist making sure that you have access to additional devices to ensure that all children are being fully supported under the current circumstances. Children's Mental Health Week  Throughout the week the work in PSHE focussed on activities that allowed the children to express themselves and show how they are feeling. The children were given the opportunity to end this week by dressing up for the day. Many children took part at school and at home and it was wonderful to see the many ways in which they did this. I was particularly privileged to be invited to a dance show and I was superbly entertained. Ethos Forum MeetingThursday 11th February 10:00am Please do join us using the invite link on the School Dojo page.
