Newsletter: 4th May 2021

Thank you!

Many thanks for continuing to support all of our “Covid-19 prevention” measures. These are likely to remain in
place for some time.

Just to remind you…

Pupils and other adults must not come into the school if:

• they have one or more coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms
• they are required to quarantine having recently visited countries outside the Common Travel Area
• they have had a positive test
• Please follow the one way system around the school site – observing social distancing
• Please wear a face covering
• DO NOT ARRIVE OUTSIDE SCHOOL BEFORE YOUR DROP OFF/PICK UP SLOT.
• Do not park too close to school
• Do not loiter before and after school
• DO NOT STAND IN THE YELLOW HATCHED AREA.
• Do not use the staff car park
• Do not enter the school buildings except visiting the office via the staff car park
• If you are dropping off more than one child, you will be able to leave the child who is due to enter school at the later time in a supervised waiting zone on the oval playground. You will not be able to wait with them. If this is difficult for you and your child then please leave the school grounds and reenter the one-way system at the specific drop off time for your child listed below.
• Only one adult should come to school to drop off/pick up. Please do not bring other members of your family (except babies and toddlers) with you even if it is just to wait with you outside the school site.
• You will not be able to collect children from different year groups at the same time at the end of the school day.
• FOR OUR OLDER PUPILS WHO ARRIVE AND LEAVE SCHOOL WITHOUT YOUR SUPERVISION, please help us by making sure your child is aware of the need to go straight home and not to loiter outside the school or on the areas around school such as the bank on Clopton Gardens.
• If an elder sibling is picking up/dropping off, please ensure they are aware they must do it by themselves and not with other school friends. Please help us to ensure high school pupils do not loiter outside the school.
• PLEASE REMEMBER – there are several free car parks in Hadleigh. We are receiving an increasing number of complaints from our neighbours where parents are blocking driveways etc. Please be considerate.

Seesaw and Tapestry

Please remember to use Seesaw and Tapestry to contact your child’s teacher if you need to discuss classroom
matters. Contact the office if you need to pass on an urgent message.

Birthday treats

If your child is celebrating a birthday and would like to share a little something with their classmates, please
ensure this is in the form of sealed small treat packs of sweets (for example, Haribos).

Summer term curriculum and Learning Posters

Our curriculum is different this term. Teachers throughout the school are planning lessons to cover key
knowledge and skills from the entire school year. Children will be revisiting concepts taught in the autumn
term and during lockdown which are crucial building blocks for next year. This means lessons planned normally
for the summer term will be streamlined to allow more time for these key areas. More details can be found on
our website under the “Learning/Curriculum” tab. For information regarding the curriculum this term in your
child’s year group please read the appropriate learning poster.

This term’s Learning Posters are available on our school website: https://hadleighcp.school/learning/year-groups/
