I think you all deserve a medal! We are all so ready to come to school again - but what is marvellous is that we have still all managed to stay together and work together during this testing time. We have learned so many skills and I think we have all got better at figuring things out for ourselves and ‘having a go’ at things- which is such a crucial life skill.
This week I have seen some lovely volcano creations and I have greatly enjoyed your responses to Brer Rabbit stories. I know we all may feel a bit nervous about coming back to school after such a long time - but rest assured that you will be nurtured and supported. We are going to focus on growing to be loving and compassionate as our Jesuit virtues this half term - we can look after one another and have understanding of each others’ needs.
Here are some of our lockdown highlights!
It is crucial that you revisit the updated guidance regarding the return to school on Monday. The first button below takes you to the organisational features.
The others take you to the guidance for children and parents for keeping safe. Please go through these with your child before Monday.
There is further guidance and information on the ‘Keeping Safe’ part of our website under ‘Discover.’
Let’s Celebrate!
This week, a Tommy Turtle certificate has gone to India for having a super go at all learning. A Sadie Spider certificate has gone to Kai for striving to do his best.
Some of us are doing so well with our reading targets - if you have not taken a quiz on a book you have read yet this half term, do one at the weekend, then we can move your seed towards its sunflower target!

We cannot wait to welcome the children back on Monday and have spent all week preparing lots of exciting learning!
Have a lovely last weekend together and children, give your parents a big hug for supporting your learning through this time.

Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster.
