Week 13 – A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Monday)

15th June 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.

Another weekend over and another Monday morning is here. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I know that lots of you have had your birthdays recently and maybe your big party got postponed. That’s what happened in my house this week. Rachel was 21 years old, and when you are 21 sometimes you have a bigger celebration than normal. Ask your mams and dads what they did for their 21st birthday. So we had balloons, music and presents on Wednesday and on Saturday, so she actually got 2 parties. It was really nice, but it was a shame her friends could not have been there too. So when all this is over we are going to have another party. I know that’s what some of you will be doing too. I think we will all be very busy celebrating and going to so many birthday parties. It’s going to be so much fun.
If you are coming into school this week for the first time in a while, I will see you then. Otherwise, I will see all of you hopefully very soon.

Have a marvellous Monday.

Mrs Cunningham

P.S Guess who thought it was all about him!! We didn’t tell him that the 1 had spun around!!

11.6.20 Key Worker Child Care Update

11th June 2020Mr Bennett

11.6.20 Key Worker Child Care Update

Dear all,
Thank you for allowing us time to work through the list of requests for using our Key Worker child care next week.
Demand surpassed the level that had been set in conjunction with the Governing Body. Meaning that several parents would have been left without child care and trying to return to work.
After reviewing this, we are delighted to say that everyone who has asked for Key Worker child care next week (to Thursday’s 6pm cut off) will be given a place. Thank you for allowing us time to work to help all parents at this time.
We will review the level of key worker children in school throughout next week and ensure that these additional numbers in school are a sensible and maintainable change.
We will continue to update you on our position for future weeks.
Thank you and stay safe.

11.6.20 Phase One Updated Plan

Please see the red changes to our Phase One Plan.
Key worker sign up for next week closes at 6pm today. Please see yesterdays post for the link. We will then be able to confirm places.
Any questions, please ask and I will endeavour to answer.
Thanks in advance

Initial Images: School Uniform

11th June 2020A Stelling

Initial Images, for many years, has provided the majority of our school uniform and sport t-shirts. This year they will be unable to come into school to take orders as they normally do in the summer term.

They are taking online orders at http://www.initialimages.co.uk

Parents can order via website and get uniform delivered, or alternatively they are offering a click and collect service. They will accept returns if something doesn’t fit and exchange for another size.
Their full team are not all back at their site yet, although Jean and the team are still working hard behind the scenes.
They will re-open from Monday 22nd June from 9-5pm with social distancing measures in place.

Week 12 – A Letter from Mrs Cunningham (Thursday)

11th June 2020A Stelling
A poetry challenge for Thursday. Your poems about your friends were so lovely. Thank you for making my day!
Yesterday it was my youngest daughter, Rachel’s 21st birthday. It wasn’t quite what she had planned, but we made it special. Lots of balloons and presents.  Her grandad came round and gave her a present. He was really sad that he couldn’t give her a hug and a kiss. We had a cup of coffee in the garden and he told us that he had found a mouse in his garage and that he was going to look for it today!! We told him not to and to give it some cheese rather than being cross with it. He said that he would not give it a treat, but he would leave him to do what a mouse does?! We all breathed a sigh of relief.
So, here is today’s poem..
I think mice
Are rather nice
Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven’t any
chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about
the house at night.
They nibble things
They shouldn’t touch
And no one seems
To like them much.
But I think mice
Are nice.
Have a thoughtful Thursday.
Mrs Cunningham

10.6.20 Key Worker Child Care

Key Worker Care Request June/July 20

Please use this link if you have not been given a form from school.
In response to opening the school to more pupils in Phase One we are changing some procedures.
Requests will be taken the week prior, rather than day to day as has been the case.
Children accessing Key Worker groups can not access their class group in the same week.
We will try to help all parents, but priority will be given to key worker families if needed where numbers exceed our maximum.
Please complete the form by 6pm Thursday 11th June.
If there are issues with places we will let you know.
Thank you for your support.

Week 12: A letter from Mrs Cunningham (Wednesday)

10th June 2020A Stelling

Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again,

Did you make any sense of the poems from yesterday? I can’t wait to hear some of you saying them when you are back at school.

Today’s poetry challenge is all about friendship. It is only four lines long. Think about one of your friends who you haven’t seen for a while.  Maybe you could add another line to describe what they are like.

A friend is like a shady tree on a summers day.

A friend is like sunshine that makes a perfect day.

A friend is like a flower that’s worn close to your heart.

A friend is like a treasure with which you’ll never part.

By Zoe Gonzales

Have a wonderful Wednesday

Mrs Cunningham
