• PTFA Event - Bounceathon - 14th July

  Thu 08 Jul 2021

  Dear Parents,

  Following the strange academic year the children have had, we, the PTFA, would like to offer a few end of term treats to the children over the last couple of days of this term, during the school day, as well as a big end of year Sheppey teas extravaganza on Wednesday 21^st at 3pm (if the restrictions on school events are lifted on the 19^th). As most of you are aware, a large proportion of our funds raised come from our Friday Sheppey Teas which, due to restrictions, has unfortunately not been able  to go ahead over the last 16 months, so in order for us to do this we need to do a fundraiser.

  During recent School Council meetings the children have expressed their wish for a school trampoline and so we have taken this on board and decided to do a sponsored Bounceathon on Wednesday 14^th July. Each class will have their own exercise trampoline with a handle and during the school day the children in turn will bounce, so the trampoline  is in use all day.

  We would like to ask you to sponsor your child/ren to do this activity throughout the day and any family or friends who would also like to support us would be gratefully received too.

  Please could all sponsor forms and money be returned to school by Friday 9^th July.

  Thank you for your continued support

  Ann-Marie Freeman and Abbi Denney.

• Sports Day

  Fri 02 Jul 2021

  Friday 2^nd July 2021

  Dear Parents,

  Following on from the dates issued last week for Sports Days we wished to provide more details and timings on these events.

   

  Monday 12^th July - Year 3 Sports Day 9.15am

  Tuesday 13^th July – Year 2 Sports Day 9.15am

  Thursday 15^th July – Year 4 Sports Day 9.15am

  Thursday 15^th July – Year 5 Sports Day 2pm

  Friday 16^th July – Reception Sports Day 9.15am

  Friday 16^th July – Year 1 Sports Day 2pm

  We have been required to carry out a risk assessment on these events and to ensure they comply with Local Authority and Department of Education guidance. We are confident that if everyone works together and all visitors to the site comply with the requirements below we can carry out the events successfully and safely.

  We are only permitted to have limited numbers so two relatives/guests per child are able to attend, we are sorry but this does include children/siblings. Family members will need to stay in their designated area and will not be able to enter the school building or use the facilities. At the moment under the current guidance family members will not have to wear face coverings when spectating but we kindly ask that you please continue to do so on arrival and departure. There will be no refreshments available like in other years. Photographs can be taken but must not be shared online at all. If we become aware that photographs are shared online, we will no longer be able to permit photographs to be taken at school events. Each year group’s Sports Days will likely last between 40 minutes to an hour and further details specific to each class are available on weekly class letters.

  In the event of unsuitable weather conditions, we will do our best to reschedule as we have done in the past but it may be a challenge to do so this year.

   

  Hopefully, we won’t have any changes to guidance and avoid poor weather and we’ll have some memorable days with our families back on the school field.

   

  Thank you for your continuing support,

   

  Rob Bothma
