THANK YOU

We would like to thank all of our parents for supporting us with all of the remote learning. This is not something anyone can plan for and you have all been amazing in adapting to this huge change!

The Government have announced that Half Term will go ahead as planned, and I’m sure everyone will welcome the break. We will not be providing remote learning for this week.

We are still waiting on Government guidance as to when the chil-dren will be returning to school as normal, so please bear with us while we wait for this news. We will of course be in contact as soon as we can be.

Once again, thank you for your continued support.

Miss Buckland

INSET DAY & HALF TERM

The inset day on Friday 12th February and half term from Monday 15th February—Friday 19th February, will still be taking place as planned. The school will be closed to ALL children on these dates. Educare and Remote Learning will resume on Monday 22nd Febru-ary.

MENTAL HEALTH WEEK

Next week, is Children's Mental health week. The theme for the week is 'Express yourself'.

Being able to express yourself is not about being the best at some-thing or putting on a performance for others. It is about finding a way to show how you are feeling that can help you feel good about yourself. Pick some of the activities and watch some of the videos over the course of the week to express yourself and keep calm.

GET SOME FRESH AIR!

The RSPB are hosting a ‘Big Garden Bird Watch’ from 29th-31st Janu-ary. The idea is to get outside in the garden or nearby public spaces to spot as many birds as possible.

Go to www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch to register your results. Please see the attached tally chart and see how many different types of birds you can spot! (There is no charge to register and you only need to make a donation if you wish to)

The Emperor’s Egg – Martin Jenkins The Emperor penguin is the only large animal to remain on the Antarctic main-land throughout its bitterly inhospitable winter. Once the female has laid her egg, she heads back to the sea, leaving the male to incubate it. He then spends two months standing on the freezing cold ice with the egg on his feet! This is his story.
