Autism Awareness Week - Meet the Trummies

Year 2 have had visitors!


Year 2 had a special delivery on the 15th March. An incubator and eggs arrived as part of the Living Eggs project.  The children excitedly waited in anticipation until our first arrival hatched on Wednesday the 17th shortly followed by the other chicks. 



The children have had an amazing time linking their work to the chicks as well as getting close to them and caring for them.

They have wrote about the life cycle of a hen, written poems using alliteration and similes as well as taking and editing photos of these cute little chicks. 
Sadly we had to say goodbye to them on Friday as they were returned to the farm.

Friday 26th March 2021

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you are well and have had a good week. Below are some awards that we would like to share with you and some important reminders and information that you should be aware of.

● Masks must be worn by parents on the school site (unless medically exempt).

● Parents must continue to exercise social distancing in and around the school.

● School will remain closed after lunch on Friday (12-50 for KS1 and 1-00 for KS2). Google Classroom work will be set for the children to complete at home. Please note that younger children cannot be collected by siblings in KS2.

● Homework Club on Friday afternoon remains available for parents who would like their child/children to remain at school. Please complete the Google Survey to secure a place.

● Children who have been lent Chromebooks should keep them at home to complete their homework and Friday afternoon Google Classroom learning.

Attendance

Attendance for this week is 93.8%. This is really disappointing and something we need to improve for next week. We are working really hard to support the children on their return to school following the enforced school closure and we really need your support within this. We do of course, understand that there are times when children are unable to come to school as they are unwell. If we can help in any way, please do let us know.
