26.02.2021 Whole School Update – March 8th
Dear Parents/Carers,
We are looking forward to welcoming everybody back to school on Monday 8th of March. It will be good to see the classes back to normal size, with children able to see their friends again in class. We are continuing with the staggered start and end times to the school day to ensure that the school site does not become overly busy. Please could you aim to arrive at school during your designated time slot to ensure that we do not experience build-up of traffic around the school site. I have reattached my letter from the 26th of February outlining all the return to school arrangements for your information.
Enjoy the weekend and we are looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday morning.
Kind regards,
Mr Ames.
Book in a Box – Closing date on Wednesday 3rd March
It’s World Book Day on Thursday 4th March.
To celebrate the wonderful books that the children read and love, I posted a competition before half term to create a book within a box. We’ve had some lovely entries so far but it’s not too late to put your entry in.
Please send a photo of your ‘book in a box’ to class.fourteacher@taw.org.uk before Wednesday 3rd March.
World Book Day – Thursday 4th March 2021
World Book Day is looking very different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the wonderful books and stories that we enjoy.
We will be bringing different activities throughout the week to celebrate World Book Day, so please check out the class pages.
You can also log onto the World Book Day website, where there are lots of suggested activities to join onto. These range from live story reading from popular authors to suggestions for new reading books and colouring activities.

We look forward to celebrating World Book Day with the children.

Letter from the Headteacher
Dear Parent/Carer,
As we come to the end of the half-term, I wanted to write out to parents and carers to say thank you for your continued support and engagement with our remote learning offer. I am aware that staff and families have been working incredibly hard in support of their children and it has been fantastic to see the work being submitted on a daily basis.
As we await further news of reopening plans from the government, we will continue to support home-learning and live sessions from the first day back – Monday 22nd February.
On behalf of all the staff and governors, I would like to wish you all a restful half-term and a well-deserved break.
Faithfully,
Mr Ames
Head Lice
There has been a case of head lice identified within the school. Please check your child/children’s hair daily for the next couple of weeks and on a regular basis thereafter. Head lice are much easier to treat if caught early
Thank you
World Book Day – March 4th 2021 – BOOK IN A BOX COMPETITION
In 2021, World Book Day, just like everything else, will be different. As part of the celebrations of books and reading, I thought we could have class competitions for a ‘Book in a Box’ project. The idea is to take your favourite story and represent the story and characters into a box.
The closing date for entries will be March 2nd and the winning entry from each class will win a book voucher for Waterstones.
You can be as creative as you wish and help spread the word about your favourite books.
Once your story box is completed, please send a photo to class.fourteacher@taw.org.uk
Here is one idea to help inspire your Book in a Box:
Directions for the Book in a Box Project:
- Choose a book and have fun reading it.
- Find a box approximately the size of a shoebox.
- Setting: Paint or colour the outside of the box so that it represents the setting of the book.
- Main Character: Put in three objects that represent the main character. (1 – to relate to his/her personality, 2 – what he/she likes to do, and 3 – what he/she looks like.)
- The plot: Put in five objects that represent what happened throughout the plot.
- The Main Problem: Put in one object that represents the central problem in the book.
- The Solution: Put in one object that represents the solution to the problem.
- Once you have decided on your objects, write, in your neatest handwriting, a list of each object in the box and then a clear explanation of why you put each in there. (What it represents).
For example, if you were reading There’s a Boy in the Girls Bathroom, you might do the following:
Main Character: Bradley Chalkers
- A passion fruit – A passion fruit represents Bradley’s personality because he is both sweet and sour. In the book he started off mean and was a bully. This is the sour part. By the end of the book, with the help of a counselor, he started to be a sweet and kind boy that everyone liked.
- A stuffed animal – Bradley liked to play with his stuffed animals. He pretended that they were his friends back when he didn’t have any friends. His sister would make fun of him for this.
- One black & one green sock – Bradley never paid too much attention to what he wore. In fact one day he was so distracted that he wore two different coloured socks to school.
Here are some other examples to help inspire you:
Have fun!
