Let’s talk about feelings
There was lots of feelings flying around at school today! The overwhelming feeling communicated and seen today was ‘happy’. The children we happy to be back with their class, happy to play, happy to have some face-to-face learning, happy to talk and just feeling happy.
Other feelings mentioned…
glad…excited…confused…fine…weird…shocked
It’s ok to feel all these things! Encourage your child to talk about how they are feeling and reassure them it is ok.
Welcome back!
We would like to say a huge WELCOME BACK to all the children. We have missed being with our classes and are all glad to get back a little bit of normality in our lives!
Remember you can email your child’s class teacher if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

PE days reminder
On the days your child has PE, they should come to school in their PE kit as detailed in our uniform policy . (Track-suit bottoms instead of shorts would be good on colder days. Footwear : black/brown/grey/white flat shoes which are safe to run around in.)
Footwear on PE days could be children’s ‘school shoes’ which are often a ‘trainer’ style anyway, if you want to avoid having to buy 2 pairs of shoes.
Please find below the days each class has allocated PE times, which will be taught outdoors, except in extreme weather.

Home learning heroes
Thank you for all the emails, photos and learning that you have shared during our zoom sessions. Everyone has done their best in these difficult circumstances and that is all we can ask for. Enjoy a well-earned half term break.
Have a listen to this super reading fluency.
Sometimes, learning goes off in a different direction – which is fine! Feeling proud of an achievement is great motivation to learn. Making a sock dispenser, using toys to count, baking a cake or finding out which materials are waterproof are all valuable lessons!
And to make learning even more exciting…some people like to dress up…
