Weekly Newsletter - 07.03.25

 

Weekly Newsletter - Important Information

Friday 7th March 2025

Dear parents and Carers,

It has been another great week at Mead, topped off with a brilliant World Book Day! The children looked fantastic in their book character costumes, and we were so impressed with the effort and creativity put into their outfits. A huge thank you to all parents and carers for your support!

We have also loved seeing the amazing science projects arriving for our first-ever Mead Science Fair. The children have worked incredibly hard, and we can’t wait to showcase their fantastic work next week!

Upcoming Roadworks at Gallows Corner – Expect Delays

From Monday 10th March until June 2025, there will be a series of lane closures on some roads leading to Gallows Corner roundabout. While all routes, including the flyover, will remain open, there may be significant traffic congestion, especially during peak hours.


Key points for parents:

Expect delays during drop-off and pick-up times – roads in the area will be very busy.
Lane restrictions will reduce some roads to one lane, increasing congestion.
Overnight closures will take place on the A127 and A12 (dates to be confirmed).


Mid-June to September 2025 – Full Closure⚠️

The entire Gallows Corner junction (roundabout and flyover) will be closed to all traffic except buses and emergency vehicles. Local diversions will be in place.

Please plan ahead, allow extra time for journeys, and check TfL updates for the latest travel information.


Find it Friday – Lost Property 🧥

Due to the high volume of lost property, we have introduced Find it Friday! Each week, large lost property containers will be placed in the EYFS/KS1, Year 3, and Year 4/5/6 playgrounds at the start and at the  end of the school day. Please check these regularly.


Pokémon Club 

From Monday we are introducing lunchtime Pokémon clubs in each Key Stage.

Years 4,5 and 6 will take place on a Monday at 12:30 - 1pm in Italy class.

Years 1,2 and 3 will take place on a Wednesday at 12:15- 12:45 pm in Kenya class.

To help manage this, we are reminding all children that:
✅ They must be played with sensibly and respectfully

✅ Pokémon cards can be used at the lunchtime club only

❌ Trading is not allowed—we will not be involved in sorting out trades or returning lost/swapped cards
❌ Cards must not be brought into lessons as they are disrupting learning


Science Week Roadshow- Friday, 14th March 

We have been blown away by the fantastic entries for the Science Roadshow. On Friday 14th March, between 3:15 - 3:45, parents are able to visit the Key Stage 2 hall to view all of the Science projects submitted by the children. Please enter the hall via the junior playground, and then enter through the main reception. Also, the last chance for any entries forgotten today is Monday. 


Support for Families

Washing Pods and Capsules - Child Accident Prevention Trust 

Young children are vulnerable to all sorts of dangers in the home. One of the most present issues can come in the form of everyday cleaning products. Some like sink unclogger can look like fruit juice. The thick consistency and similarity to apple juice in colour make it particularly enticing. However, one threat stands out from all others in this regard. The washing pod. Many washing pods bear a striking similarity to over the counter confectionery. For children the mistake can be easy to make, especially when washing pods may be kept in a lower location than other cleaning supplies. The Child Accident Prevention Trust has recently published a page that looks to offer guidance on this issue. If interested, please follow the link:  https://capt.org.uk/washing-pods-and-capsules/  


Keeping safe online- parental controls

Internet Matters has published a guide dedicated to supporting adults in setting digital boundaries for children, so that they can make smart choices and build healthy online habits. In the Internet Matters guide you’ll find practical tips on managing content access, the use of safety controls, advice on setting boundaries and ways to educate children on how to stay secure online. If interested please follow the link below: https://www.internetmatters.org/advice/by-activity/watching-and-browsing-online-a-parents-guide/
