Good afternoon,

The children have settled in really well today and it was lovely to welcome them back as well as welcome our new pupils – Frankie, Poppy, Amelie and Matilda, in Classes 1, 2 & 3 and Joseph and Isaac in Foundation.

The arrangements in place to keep the ‘bubbles’ apart have worked well and the children are getting used to the ‘new normal’, I am so proud of how they are doing this. Thanks must go to parents too, dropping children off on their first day back and not being able to come into school is hard, we appreciate that. They all looked very smart in their uniform and there are many new school shoes on show!

Just a few reminders and updates below as we settle into the new school year:

• Parking should not be on the yellow zig-zags or opposite them at any time, please remember that parking at The Reindeer is kindly offered by Mr & Mrs. Jewitt
• The children should be bringing water bottles for use throughout the day – this should be water and not juice please
• Foundation & Class 1 FRUIT – unfortunately the deliveries will not begin until next Tuesday, so please provide a fruit snack from home until then
• Classes 2 & 3 have a slightly later lunch (12.30pm) so a fruit snack might also be a good idea for them
• Twitter is used to regularly put out pictures and other news/achievements – this is an open account and can be viewed online without having an account – search @Sturtonhead

PE

The children in Foundation and Class 1 should come to school in their PE kits on the days they do it. Children in Classes 2 & 3 should bring their PE kits to school and will change as normal.

Foundation – Tuesday and Thursday (pm)

Class 1 – Tuesday and Thursday

Class 2 – Wednesday and Thursday

Class 3 – Monday and Thursday.

As much PE as possible will be done outside. Whilst the weather is still relatively mild, shorts are the preferred option, but as it becomes colder, blue joggers/leggings can be worn along with a school hoodie.

Weekly updates will continue and will be sent out either Thursday or Friday each week with news for the week ahead.

Thank you.
