Newsletter - Friday 18th June 2021

18/6/2021

 
Dear North Tawton Families and Friends,
It was such a disappointment to hear the news on Monday that the government road map out of lockdown has been delayed. This means we remain at Stage 3 with our current school risk assessments and measures in line with the government policy
For this reason we are not able to go ahead with our plans for our summer community event, this also stops plans staff had for events including parents attending our sports day. While many of us are bitterly disappointed, we must all understand this is for the health and wellbeing of our staff and pupils at school, our families and community members. With the new variant, and numbers rising again, it is of course the right decision. We will do our very best to make sure the end of term is a special time, for our Year Six pupils in particular.
 
Swimming
In happier news, it was a delight to accompany Year Six to the pool in Okehampton for their first swimming lesson together this week. They were an absolute credit to us; coping brilliantly with the routine, wearing masks on the coach and listening to the swimming instructors. They have been divided in to smaller groups so that they have ability appropriate lessons and all get the most out of the following weeks. All they need to do is get changed quicker so we are not late back to school! Mr Foreman and I will be making plans for the new school year and will let pupils and parent know our timetables in due course.
 
Hot Weather
We have been reminding the children to keep healthy in this hot weather.
Picture
Take off thick jumpers but cover sensitive skin, apply sun cream, wear a hat, seek out the shady spaces, sunglasses are allowed and most importantly drink water!  
Please make sure they have water bottles with names on. They do also need a jumper and light coat in school because as we know, our hot weather doesn’t last!
 
Financial Worries
Many families have been met with financial concerns during this pandemic. Do look to see if you are eligible for some financial support www.westdevon.gov.uk/
Are you eligible for free school meals? Check here https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals
 
Class Learning
Do look at the class blogs each week to see what the classes have been learning.
