NEWSLETTER 25th September 2020
ST LAWRENCE CE PRIMARY SCHOOL Acting Head Teacher: Emma Thorp B ED NPQH
We would usually encourage pupils to bring in certificates, medals and trophies which they
have been awarded out of school for such things as musical and sporting achievements. At
present, we are unable to do this but if your child has had success in an activity out
of school, I would ask you to post a message to the class teacher on Tapestry. I will
still be visiting the classes to celebrate such achievements, fortnightly on a Friday.
Monday 19th October - please can pupils come to
school dressed up in an outfit linked to their topic.
Today, all class
teachers in Key Stage
One and Key Stage Two
have posted curriculum
targets on Tapestry for each
child. Support at home for
the targets would be much
appreciated. Please ask your
child's teacher if you have
any questions about the
targets.
Well, it has been an interesting week! Just as I was thinking
we were settling in nicely to our new routines, we woke up on
Tuesday to no water for most of the village. Thank you for
your co-operation and understanding regarding the
unexpected school closure.
The pupils are now really immersed in their Autumn Term
topics and are enjoying all the creative learning
opportunities. Whilst the weather allows, we are making the
most of our outdoor facilities within the school grounds.

School census day is on Thursday 1st October
this term. Please can we encourage as many child-
ren as possible in the Foundation Stage, Year 1
and Year 2 to try a school meal on that day. The take-
up on this day affects our meals funding for the year
and Chartwells are providing a special menu.
Now that the weather is getting
colder, please remember to send
your child to school with a
St Lawrence sweatshirt or
cardigan and a suitable coat
for wet and windy weather. We
are required to have doors and
windows open to ensure the school
is well-ventilated at present.
Thank you for respecting social distancing guidelines and for wearing a mask at drop-off and
pick-up times; I know these measures are very reassuring for staff and parents.
