La Fontaine Academic Year 2021 - 2022
Friday 19th November 2021

Dear Parents and Carers,
This has been an absolutely lovely week; I’ve had the privilege of
showing lots of people around our school, both prospective parents
and other teaching professionals. What is always striking to those that
come and visit us is the wonderful focus and engagement that the
children have with their learning - they genuinely enjoy learning! I’ve
also had the opportunity to visit lessons with our curriculum leaders
(who are all teachers in our school) so that they can see how subjects
are being taught in the different year groups. Over the last week or
so, we’ve had a look at reading, phonics, writing, humanities (history,
geography and RE) and music. It is so good to see our curriculum in
action and the children really building their knowledge and being able to speak
confidently about what they’re learning. A highlight has to be this afternoon when I
saw Year 2 finding the beat (the pulse) in Beyoncé’s ‘Crazy in Love’!
Today sees the return of ‘popcorn Fridays’, which I am sure will be super popular with
many. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers who give up their
time to make this possible. The children love it (even if the parents are less excited
about the queues) and it raises much needed funds for the school!
You may have seen the banners go up around the school for the PTA’s annual
Christmas Tree sale - if you’re in the market for a high quality, but exceptionally
reasonably priced, tree to brighten up your festive season, then look no further! Orders
need to be in by 1st December, and collection will be from school on Saturday 4th
December.
Next Friday, we have our school photos. These will be the individual/sibling photos
(class photos are taken at the end of the year). This weekend is the time to get a trim
and make sure the laundry is done, so you can get the best snap of your little ones.
These will be great Christmas gifts for your family, also fabulous items for mass
embarrassment when they get older.
Whatever you’re doing this weekend, I hope you have a fabulous time and that you
make some lovely memories with your family.
Best wishes,
Mr Tirrell

Times Tables Rockstars Subscription
As many of you have realised by now, our subscription to Times Tables Rockstars has
expired. We have decided not to renew, but instead allocate the money to buying
resources to support the children’s in-school learning of mathematics. To continue to
support your children recalling times tables facts at home, please direct them
towards Purple Mash. There is a myriad of games and activities on the platform that
your children can do to consolidate their learning of times tables. In addition, the
class teachers can set ‘2Dos’ (tasks) to focus the class’ attention to specific
multiplication facts.

FAQs
What happens if there is a positive case of Covid-19 in school?
The child/member of staff will self-isolate, but contacts are no longer required to (there
are no more bubbles) so other children an staff members will not be sent home. Close
contacts may be asked to do a PCR test if contacted by NHS Test and Trace.
What happens if my child has symptoms? (High temperature, continuous cough, loss of
taste / smell)
Please keep your child at home and organise a PCR test. If the result is negative, they are
able to come into school (assuming they are feeling better).

Today is the end of Anti Bullying Week. At La Fontaine, children participated in whole
school assemblies that aimed to shine a spotlight on bullying and raise awareness of the
steps we can take together to stop it. On Monday, children and teachers came wearing
odd socks to emphasize the importance of diversity. Throughout the week, children
participated in many fun lessons and activities. The Anti Bullying Motto of One Kind Word
was seen in full effect and everyone enjoyed spreading words of kindness.
