Dear Parents and Carers,
It’s been quite the whirlwind of a week: there’s so much going on! The big
event for everyone has been Sports Day. There were some doubts as to
how much fun a bubble restricted Sports Day could be, but I’m thrilled to
be able to report that everyone had a marvellous time! There were lots of
events, both team sports and individual races, with children competing for
the glory of their House Team. I would like to say a HUGE thank you and well
done to Mr Warner and Mme O’Connor who put in so much effort to ensure
that the children had a wonderful time. The detail that went into planning
was stunning, my personal favourite being the water relay race, as each
team had a bucket of water that had been dyed to match the colour of
each House in the race! Stunning. I would also like to say congratulations to all of you with
children in the orange team, as orange t-shirts are not easy to come by (those of you with
children in red or blue house want to consider yourselves lucky!). Mme Diacos has already
sourced a supplier of reasonably priced t-shirts for next year to help out with the trickier colours
for Sports Day… We’ll have lot of photos, as well as results, in the newsletter next week!
Year 6 have also been having a pretty epic time.
As well as many hours of rehearsal for their
upcoming production (not to mention the hours
that have gone into making props and scenery),
they have had their ‘fun day’ today. In case you
haven’t seen the understated inflatables on the
field today, I’ve included some pictures. If you look
closely, you’ll see Mme Diacos in front of the inflatables so you can get
a sense of how big they really are! Thanks to all of you that supported
the Year 6 popcorn and ice cream fundraisers each Friday which went
towards paying for this - it’s much appreciated. Huge thanks also to the
Y6 parents that gave up a lot of their time to organise the fundraising
and Mr Shell for lugging popcorn machines, generators, petrol and
allsorts of other things to the playground and field to support our Y6!
The big question that everyone wants the answer to: classes and teachers for next year. The
children have all completed their forms, telling us who will make them smile in their class, and
the teachers are busy compiling class lists. The children will find out who is in their class, and
who their teacher is, on Monday 19th July. On the same day, the children will also be able to
spend some time with their new class and teacher, in their new classrooms, so I’m sure that will
be a very exciting day!
I hope you all have a fabulous and restful weekend. I heard there’s something worth watching
on Sunday, but I can’t remember what that is. I have no doubt everyone will be bright-eyed
and bushy-tailed first thing on Monday morning. See you then! Mr Tirrell.

Maladie: Sickness
There seems to be a nasty bug going round at the moment (and
not the one we’ve all been talking about for 18 months) that is
causing sickness and diarrhoea. We want to remind all parents
and carers that the NHS recommends that people ‘stay off
school or work until you've not been sick or had diarrhoea for at
least 2 days.’ More information can be found here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/
diarrhoea-and-vomiting/ Further guidance on ‘Is my child too ill for school?’ can be
found here: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/is-my-child-too-ill-for-school/

Collecte de fonds caritative: Charitable fundraising
On Saturday 10th July, Denis (in Year 3) will ‘brave the shave’
to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. You may know
that Denis currently has some lovely long hair; he is prepared
to shave it all off in order to raise awareness of cancer (which
has affected so many lives) and to raise money for this
important charity that help thousands of people every year.

and his incredible fundraising effort!

Camping
What a fabulous camping trip! It’s been a few years since this has been possible, but it’s
safe to say this tradition is back! The weather may not have been ideal all of the time,
but that didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits and the children have been talking about
what a wonderful time they all had. Mr Tirrell and his husband also loved their visit
(particularly the food and drinks they were treated to on the way round!). Massive
congratulations and thank you to Laura for such fantastic organising of this wonderful
event, which is not an easy job to get right! Get your tents ready for next year...

FAQs
What happens if there is a positive case of Covid-19 in a bubble?
The bubble will be sent home immediately and adults and children within the bubble
must self-isolate for 10 days + the day symptoms started (11 days in total).
What happens if my child has symptoms? (High temperature, continuous cough, loss of
taste / smell)
Your child and members of the household must self-isolate immediately and anyone with
symptoms must take a COVID-19 test.
If the test is negative, and the child is well, they may return to school after self-isolating for
the 10 days following the day symptoms developed.
