Just a quick note to let you know that there are positive COVID-19 cases within your child’s class.

We are taking all the measures we can in school to prevent transmission, while trying to provide a full curriculum of face-to-face learning.

In order to assist us in keeping everybody as safe as possible, while keeping the school operating, we recommend that your child test using LFD (rapid) test kits daily for 7 days before coming to school each morning.

Advice on obtaining test kits is available by following these links:

https://maps.test-and-trace.nhs.uk/

https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests

As always, please ensure you are vigilant for symptoms and if your child does display symptoms, please keep them off school and book them a COVID test using this link: Get a free PCR test to check if you have coronavirus (COVID-19) – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

As general advice, if your child is a household contact of a positive case (even at primary age) we would also ask that they take daily LFD tests for a period of 7 days from the date of exposure to the positive case.

Year 6 Parents and Carers,

We are aware of children using social media and sometimes they are being faced with challenges and needing to make decisions to keep themselves safe.  It is important we talk to our children about how to manage this.

I have held an assembly this week with the children about their use of language online (and in person) and emphasised some key points to them.  We have ongoing PSHE and Online Safety curriculums which educate the children about their relationships and safety.

The attached resource may be useful to you; a key part of the advice is to talk to your children before things happen rather than in response to events:

Best wishes

Mrs M

The children in class 6B are reminded to each bring in a box for their Design Technology project tomorrow.

Thanks!

Year 6 children:

Year 6 your teachers have been very proud of you this week: the team work you have demonstrated has been exceptional and your positive attitude and behaviour has been recognised.  I think the experiences you have had this week have given you great training for Arthog!

I’d like to thank ‘Team Arthog’ for the walk to Lilleshall: Mr Moody, Mr Jones, Mr Lawson, Mr Yates, Miss Smith and Mr Leonard.  The Year 6 team for the visit to Greggs, the Wildings, Beech’s Base etc. Mrs Kerr, Miss Bold, Mr Jones, Mrs Humphries, Mrs Henderson and Mrs Breen.

Thank you also to Mrs Askin and Mrs Sullivan for offering us use of the Wildings and activities to complete whilst there: everyone enjoyed their day.

Well done Year 6!

We’ve come to the last day of our fun-filled week. The children opted to not have another day of getting cold and wet again! So similar clothes as Thursday please. The children do not have to wear school uniform but we ask that they are dressed in old, warm clothes that they don’t mind getting paint or mud on.

See you all tomorrow for our last Non-Arthog day!

Dear parents,

Tomorrow the year 6 children need to come to school dressed in non school uniform. We are planning a fun day of art in the morning and a film in the afternoon. Please make sure that their clothes are old and ones that you don’t mind getting paint on.

We’re looking forward to yet another fun filled day!

See you tomorrow.
