Dear Parents,

A huge thank you to everyone who has been working so hard this week to facilitate the remote learning. We have had some fantastic feedback from both parents and children about what is working well. I appreciate that we are still getting used to working in this way but I have been impressed by the maturity that the children have shown and also their resilience when facing the challenges. Please do let us know if you have any particular concerns or issues and we will endeavour to support you in the best way.

The teachers and learning support assistants have adapted brilliantly to this new way of working, and I am incredibly proud of them too. They have been planning for , delivering to, and supporting all the children in their classes, whilst retaining their sunny smiles and positive outlooks. I won't say anymore or their heads will get too big!

We are continually seeking to refine and improve our offer, and will be adding to the provision, as we are able. Badgers and Foxes have additional live lessons in French and some 1:1 teaching with Mrs Bottle. Please make sure that your children attend these, since Mrs Bottle has planned each session and is on line waiting for you!

The virtual challenge- Race across Europe is now underway. You can walk, run, skate, scoot, cycle , swim or horse ride your distances. Please read the e-mail to see how to get involved.

We have been notified that as of 25th January all teachers will be tested for COVID on a weekly basis- can't wait for that!! We will keep you up to date with how this goes, and who is the biggest baby about it all!

We miss you all and I look forward to catching the next glimpse of the children on the screen.

Have a lovely weekend

Lucy Macey
