    Newsletter – 1st March, 2021

    Dear Lovely School Family,

    I trust that you all had a lovely weekend of sunshine!

    As well as reading this newsletter, please read the very important letter regarding the wider re-opening of school on 8th March 2021.

    We are so excited about having the whole of our school family on site.       

    Please continue to be vigilant with not driving down Brickbridge Rd, the wearing of masks and the social distancing between people from different households.

    Many thanks,

    The All Saints’ Team


     

     

     

    In addition to the World Book Day poster attached, we would like to invite any of you who would like to be a mystery reader for that day to contact your child’s class teacher. This would simply involve you producing a, less than 10 minutes, recording of yourself reading a short story, poem or extract from a book. It would be great if you appeared in disguise at the beginning and then revealed yourself at the end.                                                                            

    How exciting this would be for your wonderful children! Can’t wait to see your videos!    

     

    MONDAY MORNING WHOLE SCHOOL

    COLLECTIVE WORSHIP

    This morning we wore red and continued with our theme of Forgiveness.

    Next week, we will also have Deacon Annette Sharp–the local Methodist Minister- leading our Collective Worship. You are invited to join us at 10.05am if you are able to. Please use the link from this morning

     

    HOW TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE ONLINE 

    The next session will be on Tuesday 20th April 7pm-8pm. We’re hoping this time will be more convenient so that many more will be able to attend and glean this valuable information which will help us to monitor our children’s online use.

    We are also asking if you would like to become an Online Safety Ambassador. This would involve you becoming a part of a team who would keep up to date with current issues and share crucial information with other parents. Emma Cox whose child is in yr2 has already volunteered to become an Ambassador and Tanya Cross will be leading a training session in June for this team of parents.

    See the Online Safety page on our school website for current information.

     

    Thank you to Mrs Pratt for updating this page.

     

     

    INSET DAYS  Some time ago, the governors approved the INSET Days for this academic year, one of which was Wednesday 10th March.  As it now seems likely that schools will begin to re-open to more children on Monday 8th March, we feel it would be appreciated by families if we were to remain open on that day. The governors have approved a postponement of the INSET Day scheduled for 10th March until later in the year. This will be discussed further at the full governing body meeting on 17th March and you will be notified of the new date as soon as it has been agreed.

     

    EXCITING NEWS!

    The Parent Association are hoping to organise a safe family event for our school this half term.

     

    Look out for details in the next few weeks.

    Online Safety Workshop for parents.

    As more and more people, including children are spending more time online, it is important for parents to regularly have a conversation with their children around safety.

    Parents can refer to the following link and our school website for some useful information including references to age appropriateness.
