• Blended (Home) Learning

  Fri 08 Jan 2021 R Bearcroft
  Good afternoon,
  I hope you are all well. 🤞
  
  I am sure that you have all heard the Welsh news and are now aware that pupils are not likely to return to school before February half term. By this time many older people will have been vaccinated and schools should be able to reopen. 🙏
  
  Staff are ensuring home learning is provided for everyone. After today’s announcement it is even more important for families to support pupil’s engagement in learning at home. We are going to ensure that learning is tailored to each family’s needs, with materials both online and in paper copy. All pupils will be contacted by their class teacher and offered support in getting the materials right to engage your child in home learning.
  I appreciate that everyone’s circumstances are different but it is very important for children to complete work. I also fully understand that some parents will find this difficult.
  
  My message to you is please pick up the phone, message your child’s teacher on ClassDojo or e mail the school if you have any questions.
  
  We are all here to support you and in turn save the lives of those in our community who are most vulnerable.
  
  Stay Safe

• Happy New Year

  Sun 03 Jan 2021 R Bearcroft

  Happy new year - let’s hope that 2021 is a better year for us all.
  
  A lot has happened since school closed to pupils on Wednesday 16th December. The Coronavirus pandemic has heightened along with the complication of a new variant which is still to be fully understood but appears to be significantly more infectious. My post prior to Christmas informed you that Newport City Council made the decision to close schools for face to face learning until Monday 11th January.
  
  Class teachers have set activities for pupils for Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th January with online activities via lessons at set times from Wednesday 6th January to Friday 8th January. These activities will comprise of face to face lessons and follow up activities for pupils. Please support your children to access and complete these activities. This form of learning may well be the way forward over the next few months. Pupils will need to access the lessons through class Dojo, Google classroom or TEAMs. Teachers will provide further details via Dojo, please keep an eye on the class story for updates. Over time pupils will hopefully become familiar with accessing online lessons with greater independence. If you need help please contact the teacher through class Dojo or via school e mail.
  
  The situation is changing at a rapid pace. I will inform you of any changes as soon as I am made aware from the Welsh Government.
  
  The school will be open on Wednesday 6th to Friday 8th January for children of key worker families only, who are unable to organise alternative childcare. An application must be completed and submitted to the school by midday on Tuesday 5th January.
