  Dear parents, carers and all my Lawns Parkers,

   

  Once more we have seen changes to our lives this week and new announcements. I sincerely hope that this has introduced more freedom and happiness into your lives.

  
  I know there are still many unanswered questions regarding your child’s schooling. We are trying our
  best to plan for what September may look like and thinking about what may happen during the Summer
  break for our pupils whilst awaiting government guidance. We are working with other schools and the
  local authority and we will communicate with you as soon as we can match our plans with guidance
  from the government. We also have plans about how we will introduce our pupils to their new teachers
  for next year which we will share with you in the near future.

  
  It has been lovely to see some of our Year 1 pupils back again, as well as a few more Key Worker
  children this week. As anticipated, we will open a fifth Key Worker Pod next Monday to manage the
  gradual increase in demand. Our pupils are amazingly resilient and come into school smiling, they are
  embracing the changes they are experiencing and we are trying our best to support and nurture so they
  exit with another beaming smile.

  
  Next week sees the return of some of our Foundation Stage 2 pupils. The Foundation Stage 2 Pod Team have been busy preparing their pod and can’t wait to see some of their pupils again.

   

  With the opening of our final key worker pod on Monday the school has now reached capacity because
  of safety restrictions and safe distancing. Please ring us if you are a key worker and you need a school
  place as we do have some flexibility in our final pod.

   

  We have thoroughly enjoyed creating pyjamas for Miss Pashley in school and we can see that our
  children at home have had a great deal of fun with this challenge too. Well done Levi in Year 5 for
  designing the amazing pyjamas for Miss Pashley. We are eagerly awaiting the teddy in these award
  winning pyjamas, which are currently being stitched by Mrs Brook, our very own Sewing Bee Champion!

   

  Please remember that home learning will still be assigned via the two-weekly timetable with its
  additional learning challenges. Foundation Stage pupils will receive their usual Learning Journey
  recommendations. We love receiving your pictures of home learning, so please keep sending your pictures related to the themes, challenges or the work set on the timetables and web pages.

   

  As always you and your children continue to stay resilient and learning under very unusual and difficult
  circumstances. We admire and appreciate you.

  
  Remember we are here to help, please call us.

  
  Keep smiling and stay healthy, happy and resilient!
  From Miss Ford

  Dear parents, carers and all my Lawns Parkers,
  We have seen another week of key announcements which are gradually moving towards a relaxation of
  lock down. I do hope that it has meant that you have been able to see more friends or talk face to face
  with a loved one properly for the first time, or even go back into work.
  Our second week has been busier with more staff, key worker children and government key year group
  pupils in school. Although it has been like a military operation with staggered times and specified gates
  for entry, it has worked well in general and our children are gradually breathing life and energy back into
  our school. We thank parents for their support to make this work as safely and as smoothly as possible.
  Next week sees the return of some of our Year 1 pupils. The Year 1 Pod Team are eagerly awaiting your arrival. Due to the government announcement that not all year groups are expected back in school by the beginning of July, we have been able to introduce a new pod. These pupils will also be starting on Monday.
  The number of pupils in school has now almost reached capacity because of safety restrictions and safe distancing, meaning that all staff are now engaged with more in-school learning. Home learning will still be assigned via the two-weekly timetable with its additional learning challenges. Foundation Stage pupils will receive their usual Learning Journey recommendations.
  We love receiving your pictures of home learning, but to streamline this a little, we ask that you only
  send pictures related to themes, challenges or the work set on the timetables and web pages.
  Next week is the final whole school challenge, titled: Miss Pashley’s Pyjamas. This design technology
  challenge will ask pupils to create some ‘work pyjamas’ for our busy deputy head to get her through the
  day, no matter what comes her way. There is a super-cuddly prize for the winning garment! Entries for
  this close on Thursday 18th June, with the winner announced on Friday 19th.
  Once again, I would just like to say what a fabulous job you are all doing out there, parent, carers and
  pupils alike. It is so challenging but so many of you are still learning every day. Well done and thank you.
  Remember we are here to help, please call us.
  Keep smiling and stay healthy, happy and dry!

  Dear parents, carers and all my Lawns Parkers,
  It seems like a long time since I last wrote to you, I do hope that you are all keeping well and that you
  are finding lots of opportunities to laugh and smile.
  We have had a very busy week in school preparing for those of you who are coming back starting from
  next week. The classrooms do look very bare at the moment but we have to do this to keep you and our staff safe. Besides, it’s the people in them that count and you and my teachers will keep the rooms
  vibrant places, buzzing with learning and laughter.
  Those of you who are coming to school, please make sure you have read the communication sent
  through Schoop and make sure you have given us the vital details we need to keep you and your child
  safe. We look forward to seeing you. Miss Pashley and I will be on the gates to help you with the new
  entry system we have created.
  For those of you who are learning at home, our teachers are still busy preparing the timetable of
  activities for you. Each week there will be a new theme to keep you hooked, so please regularly refer to
  the home learning page under the Children section. We still love receiving your emails showcasing the
  amazing learning that you are doing at home. Thank you, parents for keeping going with this, we know it is challenging in the midst of everything else you have to do.
  We have noticed that not all the children in our classes are sending in emails to celebrate their learning
  with us and we just want to make sure that you are ok and help you if you are experiencing problems.
  We will be giving you a call next week, just to see if we can offer you support with our Lawns Park homelearning.
  Remember we are here to help, please call us.
  Keep smiling and stay healthy and happy.
