  • Photos for Weekly Update and more

    Wed 27 Jan 2021

    Dear parent,

    Don't forget you can submit photos for our whole school update on Friday. If you wish to do so, please send them to dcorbett546@c2kni.net by midday on Friday 29th January. We'd love to see some of your snowy pictures from the past weekend. 

    Also, please remember that key worker and vulnerable child provision will end at 2pm on Friday 29th January and then every Friday thereafter. 

    Lastly, please see attached for details of our planned 'Something to Make You Smile' Day, planned for Friday 5th February. At the end of a very difficult month for all of us, we want to encourage our whole school community to do something as a family that will make you smile. This will involve a break from the normal online learning to do something different. As part of that, we are asking, if at all possible, that the key worker children/vulnerable children stay at home that day to take part with the rest of their class in the 'smile' day. Of course, if you absolutely need to use the service on that day, you can, but it would be good if you could arrange alternative safe child care for that day. Please indicate by email if you still intend to send your child in on Friday 5th February for key worker provision - this will help us to plan for staff numbers in the building. 

    Also as part of this day, we want to support a local charity 'Bandanas for the Brave'. If you would like to support this charity, a link to a JustGiving page is given below. This is a local charity that provides free bandanas and other head coverings to young people suffering hair loss as a result of cancer treatment. Now, more than ever, local charities depend on the goodwill of local communities, so please consider making a contribution.

    Dear parent,

    I hope you are well at the mid point of our week. Just a quick reminder that if you'd like to include any photos of what you've been up to this week in our weekly whole school update, please send them to me on dcorbett546@c2kni.net by Friday morning at midday. Again, please do not feel under any pressure to do so and I know that many of you are already sharing bits and pieces with your child's class teacher and year group. 

    Many thanks
