Dear Parents,
The number of covid cases is increasing across school. There are now cases in all but one of the classes. The symptoms in the children have ranged from 24hours of feeling unwell to a slight raised temperature, flu like symptoms to upset stomachs. Please be vigilant and test your child if you think they may possibly have it. Remember the best defence in primary aged children is lots of handwashing and catching and binning coughs and sneezes.
This week the children in KS2 have enjoyed an online production by the Red Earth Company. Their performance has sparked a lot of thinking and follow up work. The children have enjoyed both the production and the work.
Talking of productions children in Kestrels, Peregrines and Ospreys brought home letters about a trip to the ballet if you have not yet returned your child’s slip please can you. If the letter did not make it home or you have misplaced it, please ask and we will send you another.
Our change 4 life champions went to New Mills Leisure centre this week for their training. I am looking forward to hearing their plans to help us all be a little bit healthier.
Our representatives on High Peak Kids Council, a pupil parliament for the schools in the PEGS cluster, tell me they are starting a campaign across the cluster about parking. All the schools, I am told, reported that parking and traffic outside their school is a problem. Watch this space for more information about how they want us adults to help solve this problem.
Our IVengers, our online safety ambassadors, are also gearing up to give us our challenges for this term. They are doing some really good work around helping all the children stay safe online.
With so many children helping us all learn how to be happy, healthy and safe it feels as if the future is in good hands.
Stay happy and healthy
