School Infection Control Procedures for Parents

The Sir Alexander Fleming team have all been working hard on a robust plan to ensure the best possible safety around reopening school. Please find below some of the measures we are putting in place and that you MUST follow:

Please stick to your staggered start and finish times – do not arrive early or late, we are trying to ensure a limited number of parents on site and a swift drop off and collection.
Do not hang around on the playground or at the front of school talking with other families or friends – you will be asked to move on.
All entrance and exit points will be staffed to ensure sensible queuing
Only 1 parent to bring children to school
Enter school through the main front gates ONLY
Exit school through the Car Park gate ONLY
Follow the one-way system at all times
Stand 2 metres away from all other families, door entrances and teaching staff
If you need to talk with the class teacher in the morning, then please pass this message to the adult on the door, remembering to stand 2 metres away.
If teachers speak to you at the end of the school day, this will be outside at a 2 metre distance.
If you need to come into the Reception foyer, then please adhere to one person in at a time and stand back from the glass.
Use the hand sanitiser at the main entrance before entering the building.
If your child is bringing their own packed lunch to school then this needs to be brought with them at their start time. We are unable to move around school to deliver packed lunches brought from home.
Ensure your child brings their own water bottle to school and takes it home for careful washing each day.
School uniform is required. When your child gets home from school, they will need to remove their clothing by the front door, so that it can be washed immediately. Your child then needs to take a shower before chatting with any other family member. We are asking that children come to school in clean uniform each day.
Long hair MUST be tied up – if not teachers will supply hair bobbles.
NO jewellery is to be worn – the virus can live on certain metals for up to

URGENT Information regarding the reopening of school

Saturday 23 May 2020,

Dear Parents,

We have spent another week trying to make key decisions for our school to extend the opening and preparing for this and we are all desperate to get life back to normal. We have always believed that Monday 1^st June was a provisional date for returning and we were awaiting further guidance from the Government and medical experts.

As an SLT, and with support from our Chair of Governors, we have taken the decision based on the Independent SAGE report published today to NOT re-open our school to Nursery, Reception Year 1 and Year 6 on Tuesday 2nd June.

The Independent SAGE ‘interim findings and concerns’ document released today states on page 2, “decisions on school opening should be guided by evidence of low levels of COVID-19 infections in the community and the ability to rapidly respond to new infections through a local test, track and isolate strategy. There is no clear evidence that these conditions are met. Until they are it is not safe to open schools on June 1.”

On page 3, the Independent SAGE document states, “Delaying a school re-opening by two weeks (to June 15^th) approximately halves the risk to children, and delaying the re-opening to September is less risky still.”

A delay to Monday 15^th June will significantly diminish the risk to our children, our staff and families. As these are the most important things in our lives, I am sure you will fully agree with this decision. This gives us further time to ensure our risk assessments and buildings are ready, so we can ensure the safety of all our children and staff when we do return.

We will continue to review the situation throughout the coming weeks and make further decisions once we have a clear indication that the rate of infection in our area is declining and continuing to decline.

We will continue to support Home Learning after half term and to provide the provision for key worker children and our vulnerable children so rotas will be in place for staff to support this. If you wish to book a Key Worker place then please find the booking form on the school website and email it to A2134@telford.gov.uk.

Thank you for your continued support as we try to make the right decisions for our community, which are all centred around keeping our children, staff and families safe.

My best wishes to you and your families,

Mrs Tomlinson Simon Taylor

Headteacher Chair of Governors

Friday fun in Reception

Good morning everyone,

We hope you’re all well and looking forwards to a well deserved Bank Holiday weekend/Half term. Mentally, physically and emotionally, this last half term has been quite challenging for everyone, including us. So, lets all be kind to ourselves and have fun with our families, enjoying the simple things in life 🙂

Our activities today include; building houses for the pigs; playing shops and if you’re feeling brave, writing/drawing ‘The Three Little Pigs’ story. There will be a golden box prize for anyone having a go at writing the story 🙂

Friday 22nd May English

Friday money challenges

After half term, we will continue to post work for the children who are learning at home. We will put a weekly challenge page and attach any worksheets to the same document. As we’ve always said, don’t worry if you cant print it – doing things practically in maths and verbally in phonics is just as important and effective for your child’s learning.

Have fun and stay safe,

Warm wishes,

Mrs Casswell & Mrs Geran xx

Year 1 Friday Challenges! Your last challenges before half term!

Here is your last weekly challenge before half term!

Make sure you have a lovely rest next week and enjoy playing with your toys, talking to your family and exercising safely outside if your situation allows.

English

You’ve guessed it! It’s Forest School Diary time!

Because we are learning about the 5 senses we challenge you to write 5 interesting paragraphs. Don’t’ forget the adjectives!

What did you touch and how did it feel?
For example, When I went on my daily exercise today I felt the harsh and bitter wind, pulling back my hair. It hit my ears and made them feel icily cold.
What did you taste?
This one is a bit trickier! Did you take a snack? Could you use this paragraph for a metaphor? I could almost taste the freshly cut, green grass just like a cow munching upon it!
What did you hear? Was it a nice sound? How did it make your body react?
The screeching of a cars wheels made me turn and wince.
What did you see?
What could you smell?

Maths

You could also write number equations on real balloons and let your child pop them if they can work out the answer!

Daily Ten will give you ten subtraction questions. Can you answer them before the time runs out!

Be active!

SENSE OF SIGHT

Our eyes work together to allow us to see. To test how they work together you will need:

4 pennies
a paper cup
Drop the penny. Do this again with one eye covered and then with both eyes open. Which way is easier? Your eyes work together for proper depth perception. Using both eyes should be easier to determine when the penny was above the cup.
Set the paper cup on a table about 2 feet in front of your subject who should be sitting in a chair at the table. Have the person cover one eye. Hold a penny in your hand about 1.5 feet above the table. Slowly move your hand in front of, in back of and to the sides of the paper cup. When, the person thinks you are above the cup, have them say “Drop”.
