Issue 14 - 17th April 2020 Updates @SandylaneBF Where everyone is equipped to excel Positive Respectful Inclusive Driven Excellent Dear all, As you will know, we all are now entering a new period of lockdown—another 3 weeks of doing what we’ve been doing recently. I know you all know this but all the messages you are hearing about the need for social distancing and staying home are SO important—so please keep adhering to it! As always, once we know more about if, when and how we will re-open, I shall contact you BUT I must emphasise we do not know any more than you—and we have, up til now, only received updates at same time as you. Let ’s hope we all have sufficient notice and clarity towards the end of this period—what I would say is try to avoid all the conjecture and guess work that seems rife at the moment; trying to second guess what schools etc will do in 3 weeks time is just that—guess work! Don’t waste your energy on it! I know some of you will be starting to think of transition for your child and classes for September. I will be discussing this this half term with my team but no decisions on classes for September will be made until June. If we are not back in school by then, we will still be looking at involving children in giving their feelings on classes for September and you’ll also have an opportunity to give us any information you feel pertinent. We always have transition times to new classes and extra transition for children that need it—we will still plan for this even if it is virtually. We are currently in discussions with Secondary Schools to decide on best way forward for Year 6 transition to Year 7—rest assured ALL necessary information will be discussed and passed on between teachers for al children at the right time. Next Monday (20th April) is the start of the Summer Term! We won’t be together to greet you all but we will be thinking of you. We shall be continuing with setting home learning which is available via our website and has a mixture of different subjects, some needing use of internet and some not. AS always, I want to repeat—home learning is NOT the most important thing; your child’s, your and your family’s well-being IS and you must do what fits you and your family best. That may entail more or less home learning than some—it doesn’t matter, do what works for all of you!

Positive Respectful Inclusive Driven Excellent
Dear all,
As you will know, we all are now entering a new period of lockdown—another 3 weeks of doing what we’ve been doing recently. I know
you all know this but all the messages you are hearing about the need for social distancing and staying home are SO important—so
please keep adhering to it! As always, once we know more about if, when and how we will re-open, I shall contact you BUT I must
emphasise we do not know any more than you—and we have, up til now, only received updates at same time as you. Let’s hope we all have sufficient
notice and clarity towards the end of this period—what I would say is try to avoid all the conjecture and guess work that seems rife at the moment;
trying to second guess what schools etc will do in 3 weeks time is just that—guess work! Don’t waste your energy on it!
I know some of you will be starting to think of transition for your child and classes for September. I will be discussing th is this half term with my team

discussed and passed on between teachers for al children at the right time.
Next Monday (20th April) is the start of the Summer Term! We won’t be together to greet you all but we will be thinking of you. We shall be continuing
with setting home learning which is available via our website and has a mixture of different subjects, some needing use of in ternet and some not.
