Coronavirus Update

Thursday 13 March 2020,

Dear parents,

We have recently had several inquiries from parents in regards to COVID-19.

We have been receiving regular advice and guidance from the Department for Education as well as Public Health England and will keep you updated of any information via either our Facebook page, our newsletter via our website or posters within the setting.

At present, we are assured that the risk to the Telford public remains low and therefore operation will continue as normal.

However to ensure we are keeping the risk of infection to a minimum the following additional measures will be implemented starting immediately.

Parents will not be allowed into school or Nursery at opening and closing times.

Reading mornings are cancelled for the immediate future.

All visitors to the school office will be asked to use antibacterial hand wash.

We are in discussion with the centres of any school visit and are assessing the risk daily.

If your child is unwell or demonstrating cold and flu symptoms, we ask that where possible you keep them at home to recover.

However, if your child has any of the coronavirus symptoms (high temperature, a new continuous cough) then they should stay at home for 7 days.

Please remember to follow school policy to report absence.

If we feel your child is too unwell at school, we will contact you so please ensure we have relevant up to date contact details.

We always ask that children do not bring in toys from home, however this does still sometimes happen and we would like to ask in the interest of hygiene that you discourage children from bringing them in.

If you have a confirmed case of COVID-19 (corona virus) within your family, we would ask that you do not send your child to school or Nursery and that you call to inform us as soon as possible.

Please do not feel the need to express your concerns at members of staff or on Facebook; this situation is out of our control and we are following directives from above. We will inform you of any changes as soon as we are know.

 

Sport Relief

All children had a fantastic time participating in the Super SAF Obstacle Course today! There was a lot of fun, screams, mud and wet children! It was a great way to get our children active and having fun. I’m not sure who had more fun, the PE coaches or the children 🙂

Thank you to all who donated their sponsor money today, we have had some fantastic amounts! Please remember that the sponsor money needs to be in by Friday 13th March for the bounceathon, where all children, from Nursery to Year 6, will be participating.

Year 6 children are invited to attend the bounceathon between 6pm and 8pm on Thursday 12th March to support the teachers. They need to send their permission forms in and will need to be collected by a parent at 8pm.

Children are asked to come to school on Friday wearing sports kit for a contribution of £1 or your sponsor money.

I have attached the original letter that went out to parents on Friday 6 March 2020.

Tuesday 10th March

Super SAF Obstacle Course

In order to raise money for Sport Relief and encourage our children to be as fit and healthy as possible, we are having a ‘Super SAF’ obstacle course tomorrow during the day! Our PE team have planned it and it looks amazing!

They will need to bring a warm PE kit (jogging bottoms, jumper, trainers, a towel) that can get wet and muddy!

Whatever the weather, the children will be outside!

The children will need to bring their sponsor form with the money they have collected (this will also cover the bounceathon)  or a contribution of £1 to participate.

A huge thank you to the families who have donated so generously already!

Let’s get muddy!

World Book Day – Thursday 5 March

    

World Book Day – Thursday 5 March

As a school, we believe that reading is important as it helps you to discover new things by enabling you to educate yourself in any area of life you are interested in and to do your own research and thinking. Reading opens the mind and imagination and the creative side of a person.

We will be celebrating World Book Day 2020 by encouraging the children to share a ‘Million Stories’ and they are invited to attend school dressed in their PJs so that we can have one big bedtime story.

There will also be a reading challenge set for the week, which involves children reading at certain points during the day. We will be encouraging children to read for 15 minutes 3 times a day, listen to a story once a day and read at home every evening. If your child achieves this, they get a stamp on their ‘Reading Challenge’ card and at the end of the week will be entered into a prize draw!

There is no charge for this event.

Bike Shed

There is now a new bike shed / area for children to store their bikes and scooters during the school day.

To access the bike shed you will need to go through the main entrance to the school and walk through the side gate and the bike racks are on the right. You will need to ensure that children are locking their bikes and scooters up as parents will have access to this area at certain times in the day.

There is now NO reason for children to be on the school car park on bikes or scooters.

Upcoming dates for your diary!

Please find information regarding upcoming events at Sir Alexander Fleming Primary School and Nursery for the next six weeks.

Letters will come out with more information nearer to the dates.
