School Closure Notice

St Aidan's CE Primary School will close after school on Friday 20th March until further notice, as instructed by the Government.

CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL

The government guidance posted late last night will be followed and a list of eligible children will be compiled by myself and Mrs Mitchell - on a needs led basis.

Places will be offered following the guidance and information from parents recorded yesterday. The health advice is to have less than 20% of the school population in. This is to follow the social distancing model and to keep the spread of Covid19 limited.

**SCHOOL WILL ONLY ACCEPT THOSE WHO ABSOLUTELY NEED CARE**

Please consider the implications for school staff. As a headteacher, I have to consider the safety of staff and their own health plus the health of their families. If you are offered a place but DO NOT require it as you can find care elsewhere then please follow the health guidance and do so.

Please, therefore, follow these key principles:

1. If it is at all possible for children to be at home, then they should be.

2. If a child needs specialist support, is vulnerable or has a parent who is a critical worker, then educational provision will be available for them.

3. Parents should not rely for childcare upon those who are advised to be in the stringent social distancing category such as grandparents, friends, or family members with underlying conditions.

4. Parents should also do everything they can to ensure children are not mixing socially in a way which can continue to spread the virus. They should observe the same social distancing principles as adults.

As always thank you for your support, take care, stay safe and we will get through this

Busy Bees 2019 - 2020

Mrs Kennedy

Miss Sanderson

Welcome to Busy Bees class! Within the reception year we work on the Early Years curriculum following Development Matters. Our curriculum is play based around topic areas. 

In the morning we do focused group activities based around English and Maths.Our continuous provision facilitates all our learning in all areas of the Early Years curriculum.

We evidence the children's learning through Tapestry, an online learning journal. At the beginning of the year parents are sent an activation email to allow them to access this information. Please contact Mrs Kennedy to resend activation links.

We have an open door policy so please do not hesitate to talk to any of us in the Early Years team.

Homework

Reading

When the children bring home reading books, initially use the pictures to talk about what is happening in the story. This talk is essential for developing story language, vocabulary and story structure. Encourage the children to identify and say the letter sounds. Parents should repeat the sounds quickly to help your child blend and say the word. Books are changed Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Please share these books at least three times a week and sign the reading diary. Books will not be changed unless the diary is signed. School expectation is for children to read at least three times a week. Children who read this number of times or more are rewarded half termly.

 

Letter/Word Cards/Spellings

Children will be bringing home letter and word cards to read and then write. Please practise these as regularly as possible (at least 3 times a week like the reading books) and sign the reading diary when they have been done.

 

Home Activities

Please choose an activity from the home activity page and tick when completed. The activity can be recorded in a number of ways i.e. pictures and writing, photographs stuck in or a comment from parents. Achievements may be celebrated on the school facebook, in the activity folder or on the Tapestry learning journal. One home activity should be completed per week and is checked by the teacher each Thursday. A reward is given each half term for those who complete a weekly task on time.
