Hi all,

Here are a few changes to our timetable next week…

Monday – PE day. Please come to school in your PE kits.

Tuesday – normal school uniform.

Wednesday – Forest School as usual.

Thursday – Pontesford Hill trip. As per the letter, come in wearing Forest School clothes, sensible shoes for walking, with a sensible rucksack to carry packed lunch and water. Please check the weather in the morning to see if you will need suncream / hat / coat etc.

Friday – normal school uniform.

On the last week of term there will be no Forest School, so please send the children in wearing their uniform every day.

Many thanks,

Miss Roberts

Hi all,

We will be having an extra special dance session with Mrs Hilditch tomorrow afternoon, so please can everyone come into school wearing their PE kits for the day.

Thank you!

Miss Roberts

Apologies for all the wet socks and tights coming home with the children today. Once the (very heavy!) rain had eased a little bit after lunchtime, we took the opportunity to do some puddle jumping. We did put on wellies and waterproofs, but even so – every single child managed to get their socks or tights completely sodden!

On the plus side – the children were very happy splashing through the deep puddles that had formed throughout lunchtime!

Hello,

The week after next we will be doing a craft activity which involves empty yogurt pots. If you eat yogurts at home, please would you send your empty (and clean!) yogurt pots our way? We will need 1-2 pots per child. Just the little snap pots or something similar will be perfect for our activity.

Thank you in advance!

Some of the parents from Room 4 have recently set up a WhatsApp group for all the parents. Parents have had these groups before and they are a really handy way to keep up to date with what’s happening in school – especially when there’s a change of PE day or a special dress up day etc. I know parents in the past have found these really useful – and a bit of a life saver! Unfortunately at the moment it’s impossible to chat to other parents properly after school so it’s really tricky to get contact details for everyone.

If you would like to be part of the WhatsApp group, then please email me or let me know at the door, and I can pass your details on to Diane Jones who will add you to the group. There is no school involvement in this group at all, it’s just the easiest way to pass contact details on in these COVID times!

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re all feeling excited and ready to go for our first day back to school on Monday. I am really excited to see you all and hear about all of the lovely things you have been up to!

Coming into school

Hopefully you have seen the post about the new way of coming into school. I know on the post it says about dropping children at the gate and encouraging the children to come to the classroom door independently, I just wanted to set your minds at ease about this. We will have several members of staff waiting on the playground to watch the children and help them into their classrooms so the children will not be walking across the playground by themselves. If you feel really unhappy about letting your children walk into school by themselves then that is fine! You are still very welcome to drop your children off at the classroom door by following the one way system.

If you do this a few times and feel that your child is feeling more confident about coming into school, then we would encourage you to drop them off at the playground and let the staff on the playground help them into their classroom.

Do whatever is right for your child, we are just working hard on trying to reduce the number of parents on site at the start of the school day.

Timetable

Room 4 will now have PE on a Monday and Forest School on a Thursday. The rest of the week they are to wear their school uniform.

If there are any queries about anything, then please feel free to send me an email –  roberts.b@pontesbury.shropshire.sch.uk

Hello everyone,

Tuesday

This is a normal school day, children to come into school wearing their uniform.

Wednesday

Room 4 will be taught by Mr Boffey on a Wednesday morning. Mr Boffey did supply in Room 4 whilst I was on a first aid course, so the children are already familiar with him. Forest School has moved days, so children are to come into school wearing their uniform on a Wednesday

Thursday

Forest School – this has now moved to a Thursday, so please send children in wearing their own clothes.
