Dear North Tawton Families, As our Covid numbers have continued to rise this week, please keep an eye on emails for advice. Our latest guidance and risk assessments are available on our website. As always, please contact me if you have any concerns. Chinese New Year In assembly this week, I told a story of how the Chinese Zodiac was invented. The Jade Emperor organised a race for all the animals. 12 animals showed up to the starting line. The emperor said that each animal who came would all have a year named after them, the race was to determine the order. Ask your children how the animals approached the race, in particular the river they had to cross. Why didn’t the dragon win and why is there not a Year of the Cat? We had fun acting out the story in assembly. You can find out your year and what that might mean here: https://kids.kiddle.co/Chinese_Zodiac Happy Chinese New Year in Mandarin: 恭喜发财 “gong-sshee faa-tseye” and in Cantonese: 恭喜發財 “gong-hey faa-chwhy.” Cross County
Our Year 5 and Year 6 cross country team were fantastic on Friday. They showed incredible team work, perseverance and high spirits. We are so proud of them and their sporting attitude. Well done!
