Issue 4 Summer Term — 14th May 2020
Please do read the letter to all parents, sent by email today, regarding the partial re-opening currently scheduled for Monday 1st June.
This week’s assembly is conducted by the Reverend Renos Pittarides who is the Rector of St Martin’s Church East Horsley and one of our school governors. The theme is very pertinent to these strange times so it would be great if the whole family could watch it together and discuss it at the various points when Renos asks for a ‘pause for thought’. Very many thanks Renos. Just click on this link. https://www.loom.com/share/2e7c5f6c4eca4f2d93474e7a2187c351
In last week’s newsletter, I mentioned how Sam in Y4 (picture above) and his family were supporting the NHS workers by baking cakes for a donation to The Haemophilia Society UK. We have received two lovely thank you’s and photographs(see page 2) Just click this link if you would like to order…. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/samhaemophiliaday
It is great that so many of you are sending ‘thank you’ notes to the teachers—the amount of time that they are spending designing the home schooling curriculum, creating Loom videos and responding to children’s work via email, alongside writing detailed annual school reports is huge, so your appreciation is well received! We were de-lighted to receive some of ‘Sam’s Treats’ as well! Thanks to Sam and his, now extensive team. I am not sure which of you kindly bought them for us by donating to The Haemophilia Society, but the staff were delighted—delicious!
Don’t forget to pop whatever they wore to school into the washing machine, if they are attending. A daily clean outfit is a good way to further reduce possible transmission of the virus. Also a polite reminder that they need to be wearing trainers rather than sandals.
Cultural Capital
We hope you have had the opportunity to look at some of the cultural media sites that we have highlighted over the last couple of weeks. New things are coming online all the time so here are a few suggestions for this week. Do let us know if your family find any particularly good.

Enid Blyton’s classic ‘Malory Towers’ stories
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p0872dbq/malory-towers
Last week, Year 6's English and art was based on a poem we studied called, 'The Day
the War Came.' They produced some lovely writing and
some great art.
The chairs symbolise refugees who are missing their education. Well done
Y6 - most thoughtful....
The wonderful
package of treats was delivered and very
gratefully received by St Thomas’s ICU. The
staff were really touched by the
thought and detail that went into this
project . Please can a big thank you be sent
to the young man who’s idea this was
and all involved.
Thanks ever so much for the delicious
cakes and treats you baked for us all at Frimley anaesthetic
and theatre department last
Thursday. Everyone was incredibly
impressed not only with the food but also
the packaging and detailed ingredients.
It helped lift everyone’s spirits
during a long night shift and spurred on many conversations
about The Great British Bake Off although there
weren’t many of us who thought we
could compete with you!
Well done for raising so much money for the Haemaphillia society with such a novel way of
holding a “lock down” cake sale. I’m sure they will be very impressed when they hear how you did it and how much happiness you brought to a big department like ours.
Thank you once again.
Take care Jennie Maclean and all those working at Frimley theatres on Thursday 7th May night shift.
