DIARY DATES

Nothing for your diaries at

this present time.

Dear Parents/Carers,

This has certainly been an interesting week and one like no other. I would like to

say a big thank you to you all for your understanding and support.

There are still many questions unanswered but school will close in its current

form today at 2.45pm. How long it remains closed is unclear at this stage.

I will continue to keep you updated via the new email service that has been set

up.

You will all receive an email this weekend providing you with remote learning for

your children. Please make use of Tapestry and Class Dojo to keep us updated

and allow us to comment on activities your children complete.

I would also like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff who have worked so

hard to keep the school days as normal as possible. Without all their hard work

the resource packs would not have been created and there would have been

much more class disruption.

On a positive note the Year 4 children and the Hand bell group did us proud last

Friday at the Island Music, Drama and Speech Festival. Both groups came away

with an impressive 86 points and first place. Well done to everybody who took

part and thank you to Mrs Brown and Mrs Pierrepont for working with the

children.

Well done also to Matilda and Felix B who both came first in their respective age

groups in the Island Cross Country Championships last Saturday. Running is

obviously a strong family trait.

We will be producing a weekly news letter during term time while we are closed

so any good news stories will be very welcome. Please email them to me and we

will share them.

I hope you all stay safe and well and that we will be back to normal as quickly as

possible.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Maria Herbert
