We have thoroughly enjoyed teaching the awesome Koalas this year and are just sorry that due to such unusual circumstances we didn’t have a “normal “year with them.
Thank you for all your support this year both before , during and after lockdown we have been a good team.🙃🙂
It was lovely to have the children back and see them again, even If it was for just a few weeks. They have loved seeing their friends again and it has been good to have a bit of sort of “normal”.
Finally, a big thank you for all the lovely cards and gifts we received, as always not expected but much appreciated, we hope you all have a good holiday and break,😎
Take care and stay safe🌈❤️

I would just like to say a huge thank you to all of you for your kind words and amazing gifts as a very strange year comes to an end. Mrs Woolley and I both really appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness.
It really has been a priviliege to work with the Elephants, they are truly a group of gorgeous children who behave beautifully and who have worked their socks off throughout Year 2. Both Mrs Woolley and I are are extremely proud of them all.
We hope you all have a lovely summer

Hello Penguins
The last few months have been a very different time for all of us and having to do our work at home will have been fun for some of us and a challenge for others. By being superstars and staying at home you have played a really important part in helping the country bring coronavirus under control.
The time has come now for us to safely return to school on Monday July 6th. You will be in 2 bubbles of 15. Bubble 1 will be in the Music Room with Kelly and Mrs Doherty and the other bubble will be with myself in the Year 6 classroom.
We start at 8.40 and finish at 3.10 we will enter and exit at the Y6 and Y5 corridor door.
Here are some photos of the room
When you come into the rooms you will be asked to sit at a table, this will be your table for the whole time we are in school. Your books will be on the table ready for you.
The first thing you will be asked to do on Monday morning will be to put your book bag (SCHOOL BOOK BAGS ONLY) on your table and then to wash your hands. Once you have done that your teachers stand in our places and explain the new routines, we have to keep us all safe. We will show you our playing out area (the climbing frame), explain our toilet times and how lunchtime will work.
We will not be using the cloakrooms, everything you bring will be staying with you.
What you need to bring
- Water bottle
- Packed lunch – only if you are not having a lunch provided by school
- Pencil case with colouring pencils/felt tips, pencil rubber etc. (this will stay at school)
- School bag (this will stay at school) – all the books we will be working in will be placed in this bag so it must be the school book bag in order for them to fit.
- A hat to wear in the sun
- Sun cream
- Reading Books – these will be placed in a box in the classroom.
- Any home learning you would like us to look at.
We are looking forward to seeing you on July 6th.

We have had a lovely week back, the children have settled back to school well and really enjoyed seeing their friends again. Mrs Thomson and I have both enjoyed the week too and are very proud of our fabulous Koalas.
It’s been lovely to catch up with all you parents too and thank you again for all you have done at home with the children during this very strange time for us all. ( this may have been cooking with the children, teaching them to ride their bike, gardening skills etc or more formal home learning, as always , we really appreciate your support. )
Hope you enjoy your weekend and the children have a well earned rest, see you all next week, let’s hope it’s a bit cooler!!!!!!
