the school week

PoIninttesreosft Hello Everyone,
It was absolutely fabulous to see Pod 1 of Year 6 in school on Monday and then the second pod on
Science aoecfxtpiidvleoitariees!sto Wednesday. They spent a good chunk of time discussing what they had been up to and how lock down
Lots had been for them. As is similar, with the whole of society there were mixed responses to how they felt. I
think looking forward, children in school are going to need increased work on personal and social
education as we slowly and steadily come out of this situation. Teachers have enjoyed seeing children
whilst juggling the online studies we are providing for children who are not yet in school.

We have had lovely messages from parents today which I wanted to share with you:

'I wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team for making our child’s
return to school such a wonderful and happy experience. We are living in such
unusual times and whilst our daughter has been very excited about coming back
to school it has not been without it’s worries and wobbles! She has had the
most incredible two and a half days, things have been different and she has
noted that, but the routine has soon become the new normal and she has loved
every minute and been so enthused when she has come home. She has loved the
online learning and will continue to do so, but having this opportunity to spend
time in a place she calls “her second home” has been so important for her especially as she will soon be
moving on to high school. I feel that how we behave as adults and what we do to manage our way
through our current situation is going to have an everlasting impact on the resilience and happiness of
our youngsters and as always the BJS team have been calm, caring, fun loving and nurturing and we feel
truly blessed that our daughter goes to such an amazing school. Thank you so very much!'

And also 'I would like to thank you and your team for all their hard work and dedication to get the school
open for the year 6s, this week. I can only imagine all the planning, cleaning and organising that you
have all gone through. It is very, very much appreciated. It has had an immensely positive effect on our
daughter's well being. I cannot thank you all enough for making her feel so safe and happy on her first
week back. Wishing you all a wonderful rest of the week and weekend.'

NeSwCeheZatewhlalhielseanrwngeedeweke are 'I just wanted to send an email to say thank you so much for all your hard work in opening the school
:-) back up for the Year Sixes and in such a thoughtful way. It has been great that she has got to make new
friends and get to know another girl who she will be with in her new school, I am certain that this wasn't
a coincidence and It's very much appreciated. She has absolutely loved every second, for what could
have been very scary and different for them, you have made it so positive, safe and special. Thank you. A
big thank you to all the teachers for the Google Classroom work too, it has all been enjoyed and
appreciated.'

The government has withdrawn their decision to bring back all year groups by the summer holidays. I
know this must be incredibly frustrating for children and parents at home. We will do our best to sort
something out for children especially in the area of transition.

Our online learning will continue and I have had lots of good comments from
parents about Google Classroom. I am putting a survey out this week for
your thoughts about how things are going for you at home. Please feel free to
let me know what you think is going well, what isn't and what you would like
support with. We will then do our best as always. Please follow the link:
