Monday 19th October

Good Morning Oak Class!

I hope you've all had a lovely weekend. I've been very busy painting my new gate and replacing Lewis' school uniform as he's still growing! I am very proud of how we have all managed this half term. I know at times some of us have felt anxious and uncertain but we got there. Our children are amazing. It has been a real pleasure for me this half term to get to know them and see their individual characters start to shine through. I am really looking forward to seeing how the the children continue to develop as little people.

As always please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any concerns or queries.

A little information about Oak Class

Oak Class drop off time is 8:55am  

Oak Class collection time is 3:20pm  

The children will come and leave school from the entrance next to Willow class and walk around to our classroom door.

We will have a 'Sanitation  Station ' in each room and we will be encouraging your children to wash their hands more regularly.

In order to avoid large groups on the playground breaks and lunchtimes will need to be staggered. Oak's break times are:

Breaktimes: 10.00am - 10.15am and 1:45pm - 2.00pm

Lunch: 12.00pm - 12.30pm outside and 12.30pm - 1.00pm eating lunch.

All of these things will be explained carefully to the children when they come in.

Homework will be sent home on Fridays. The activities that we send are designed to support the learning that has been done in class during the week. Your children will need support to complete them.

Spellings will be sent home on Monday for the test the following Monday. 

PE is on Tuesday and Friday. Please can you make sure all items of clothing, especially jumpers, cardigans and coats are named . Then we can return them when they go missing.
