Ladybird’s Friday Update
Good morning :).
Another lovely week in Ladybird class – it has been an absolute pleasure seeing the children settle back in to school life.
Just a little reminder that PE kits are to be worn to school on a Monday and children do not need to bring a change of clothes with them. Reading books and diaries are going to run Monday – Monday in our class so the children only need to bring them back to school on a Monday morning for us to check and then issue a new book. Can you please make sure that you and your child are reading every night and making a comment in the reading diary, if you have any questions or queries regarding the reading books please just let me know – always happy to help. Homework will start as of next Friday, it will be sent home to be completed for the following Thursday.
Our topic this term is ‘All About Me’ and we are looking at growing and changing. Would it be possible to send in to school a photo of your child as a baby so we can then put it alongside a recent photo to look at how they have grown and changed. They are needed for Thursday 24th September. If you do not have access to a printer please send them to me and I can print them for you.
Finally, thank you for your cooperation with drop off and pick up and following social distancing measures. From Monday morning the Ladybird drop off will be the side entrance to Key Stage 1 – I will be stood on the playground to meet the children and direct you if needed. Pick up will remain at the class door. Thank you for your cooperation.
Have a lovely weekend – looking forward to hearing all about the fun you all get up to on Monday morning!
Thank you 🙂
Miss Shadbolt.
18.9.2020 important updates
After a number of near misses and concerns raised this week please could you ensure the following from Monday 21st September:
- After collecting your child/children please leave the school site immediately, do not stand around chatting to each other.
- Children should not be on their scooters or bikes on school grounds. They should walk them to and from the bike racks until they are outside the school grounds.
- Ladybirds (Miss Shadbolt’s class) will now enter school in the morning via the KS1 entrance door, opposite the nursery playground. Miss Shadbolt will be waiting for the children at 8:40am to show them in. Collection will remain from their classroom outside door at 3pm.
- Only KS2 children should be walking through the KS2 gate and down the path to their classrooms.
- Please follow social distancing guidelines whilst on school premises.
Please could you also ensure:
- If someone else is collecting your children you contact the office so staff are aware of who they will be going home with.
- If your child is sick please leave a message on the absence line before 9:15am. You do not need to ring the school office a message will be sufficient.
Many thanks.

COVID Guidelines
The challenge going forward, as we head towards winter, will be the inevitable question, ‘Is it COVID-19 or something else?’ if your child feels poorly. You are having to make that judgement at home and we are having to make it at school. We can only go on the symptoms list and on our knowledge of the individual. Hopefully with all the hygiene efforts, mask wearing when amongst the public and general social distancing, the usual bugs will be kept at bay as we hope will COVID.
If you or a family member or your child gets poorly and you suspect COVID symptoms then this quick summary may help you understand what has to happen or alternatively contact https://111.nhs.uk/COVID-19 or call 111.
- If your child has one or more of the symptoms then you MUST keep your child away from school and isolate as a household and get a test booked https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms/coronavirus-in-children/
- Let the school know you are doing this so we can track your progress.
- Your child can’t return back to school until you have received your test results. If they come back negative, the child can return to school. Empower Trust policy is that we ask to see evidence of a negative test.
If you or your child are tested positive, you MUST inform the school and provide test results via email and then follow Government guidelines for length of necessary quarantine: e.g.
- If your child tests positive for COVID, they have to remain off school for 10 days
- If a family member tests positive, all members have to self-isolate for 14 days
- If within that time, your child shows symptoms and is tested positive, they have to remain off school for 10 days from the point of their positive test result comes into force.
- If they don’t show any symptoms by the end of the 14 days quarantine, then they come back to school.
The main symptoms of coronavirus are:
- a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
- a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
- a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you’ve noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
Most people with coronavirus have at least 1 of these symptoms.
Normal body temperature is different for everyone and changes during the day.
A high temperature is usually considered to be 38C or above.This is sometimes called a fever.
Many things can cause a high temperature, but it’s usually caused by your body fighting an infection.

sQuid update
sQuid are currently having technical issues setting up new accounts for our new starters. They are working hard to try and fix the problem.
As soon as this has be rectified I will be sending out letters to let all the new starters know how to set up their account. In the meantime you are welcome to let your child have school dinners. This will show as a negative amount on your account once you are able to get on (if your child pays for lunches).
Any queries please speak to the school office.
Thanks
