Newsletter 3 - 9th October 2020

Harvest

Thank you all for your generous contributions to St Dunstan's for Harvest.   Revd Ann was delighted to receive them.

In school the children did some fantastic artwork and wrote poems.

We were particularly impressed by the standard of work, this space is too small for everyone but here is a particularly lovely piece by Libby in Class 4.  

 

#helloyellow

Today the children wore yellow in exchange for a donation to the Young Minds charity.   This is an incredible charity who work with young children and adults with mental health issues.   This is obviously at the forefront of our concerns at the very difficult times we are experiencing at the moment.

If you haven't already, please donate whatever you can spare via Parentpay.

Why not take a look at the website;

At the end of the school day....

Please can we remind families that when you have collected your child, particularly if you are not waiting for a sibling, that you leave the site promptly?   Government Guidance is asking us to ensure that we are not mixing in large groups and children who are in different Bubbles, who are not siblings, need to stay apart.

 

Attendance

We wanted to take the opportunity to offer a BIG thank you to you all for your support in Attendance.   Whole School Attendance is 96.4% which is  impressive considering the current climate.  

 

Forest School Reminder

Year 6 Start their sessions in Forest School next Friday.   Please ensure that your child comes to school in their Forest School kits. 

Thank you

 

Thank you...

For taking the time to send messages and gifts to our staff on World Teachers' Day.   It means a great deal to us.

Early Years Playground

Mrs Everett has put together a wish list of items to help us improve the outdoor learning area for Class 1.   We have had a lovely response so far with some items being handmade, which we are so grateful for. 

If you would like to donate items please contact Mrs Everett or Miss Evans via the office for additional items we are hoping for.

Thank you!

 

 

ParentPay

Please can we remind parents to sign up for ParentPay over the weekend?   We are 'cashless' now and so all payments to us will be via this site.   If you have any queries at all, please email the school office. 

Thank you.
