Amethyst, Diamond & Emerald Blog - Friday 3rd September 2021

 Welcome back everybody - we hope you have all had a restful summer and welcome you and your child back to a brand new school year! As you are already aware, the decision was made to carry on as we were before we broke up for the summer (Letter to parents). Therefore, the children will still only need to bring in from home a reading book, water bottle and lunchbox.

We will be reviewing current arrangements next week, so please keep an eye on the school website as this is where we will let you know when changes will be implemented.

Our New Project - "Knock, Knock! Who's There?"

This is the title of our new project this term and we will be focusing on houses and homes both today and in the past. We will be looking at different types of houses and their features. To help us in this project, we would ask if you can send us a photograph of the front of your child's house by Monday 13th September. You could send us a physical copy (let us know if you need it returned) or email the photo to our phase group email. You can find out more about this project on our website here:

Project Overview

PE - Monday

Please note that PE starts again on Monday, so the children need to come to school in their PE kit.

Homework tasks/books will resume next Friday but in the meantime please keep using our Big Cat online Library. We hope very much to start sending physical books home very soon but this online resource will continue to be available for you to use at home. Please let us know if there is any aspect of your child's Big Cat book shelf that needs amending or if you need login details again.

Don't forget, we are always available on our Key Stage 1 email. If you have any questions or concerns about the return to school or indeed about anything, please just ask and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Have a lovely weekend!
