De la cabeza a los pies with Señora Stevens

shark It's time for another Spanish story from Señora Stevens.

This one is written by Eric Carle and features animals getting active.
Can you copy the movements made by the animals? If you can, you can join in and shout ¡yo también!

It's called De la cabeza a los pies - From Head to Toe in English (although the more observant of you that have been doing your Spanish homework may notice that 'los pies' are feet not toes!)

Mrs Allen - Retirement Information

Dear Parents / Carers,

When Mrs Allen announced her retirement none of us could have envisaged that within a few short months we would see a national lockdown or foreseen all of the measures put in place to stop the spread of Covid-19. This has also meant that we have been unable to recruit a Deputy Head Teacher in time for September.

Therefore, I am delighted to announce that Mrs Allen has agreed to work alongside us in school for a couple of days a week in the Autumn term. This will provide us with some extra support for the temporarily reduced Senior Leadership Team.

So although the time has come for Mrs Allen to officially begin to enjoy her retirement, it is not yet time for her to say goodbye completely and we will enjoy welcoming her back to school for the Autumn term.

Coronavirus Surveillance Screening

We have been invited to take part in a weekly screening test for COVID-19. Every Monday, from June 22nd for 4 weeks, a team of nurses will come into school to carry out nasal swabs on staff and pupils in their bubbles. The test is voluntary.

If your child is in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 6, and you would like them to take part, please read the attached newsletter and fill in the form and return to school by Friday 19th June.
