Weekly News Friday 3rd July 2020
Another week on..... So, everyone is settling into the ‘new normal’ as all
year groups go about their daily routines. It certainly
has been a good practice run for September when all
of our children will return. We’re very excited for that
to happen!
More details to follow before the end of term.
In the meantime, the celebrations for Year 6 have
begun with a ‘SATs breakfast’ without the SATs – how
could life be more perfect than that! As the children
tucked into their fresh strawberries, raspberries,
waffles, cream, bananas and so much more, the
children were mindful of their friends who are
shielding so, of course, an emergency delivery was
made – we wanted you to enjoy the treats too!
Excitement is mounting as the ‘hoody arrival date’ is
almost here. By early next week, you will be
presented with your gift, Year 6 children. We know
you want to wear your hoodies around school and we
want to see you in them!
Fruit and Vegetables Scheme You might have heard that the government fruit and
vegetable scheme has been suspended at this time
but it’s important that our children continue to enjoy
one of their ‘5 a day’ so free fruit and snack for
infants and juniors is currently being provided.
Digital Reading Challenge Thank you children for getting off to a swift start on The Reading Challenge. Don’t forget that certificates and prizes will be awarded when we return to school, so jump aboard and enjoy a summer of reading. Any books read, whether they are class teacher set project books, reading challenge project books or myON books of your choice, they all count towards your regular reading over the summer.
A little surprise Hopefully, by now most of the children learning from home will have had another phone call from their teacher. We hope you enjoyed having a little catch up! If for any reason you haven’t had phone contact or a message re-arranging a time with you, please contact the school office and we will arrange a time with you.
Messages of Kindness The number of kind and supportive messages coming into school over the last week has been overwhelming. Messages about the children’s return to school including their wellbeing and improved mental health; messages about happiness and friends re-united and not forgetting all of the virtual hugs and appreciation for the school staff. We are strong together and we belong to an incredible school community – thank you.
Asda Kindness This week, we received good news when Asda
contacted us through Angela, the community liaison
representative and offered to send us bananas for
everyone as part of links with the local community –
thank you so much we appreciate your
thoughtfulness.
Please also take a look at the noticeboard in the Asda
Foyer. By the end of today, it should be adorned with
the beautiful artwork from Saltergate celebrating 72
years of the NHS.
Photographs Today is the closing date for sending in a head and
shoulders photo of your child(ren). Please don’t
forget as we’re in the process of making a special
surprise momento for each of you.
Please send your photos to the email addresses
below.
Special Thank You Gifts We’ve had a few parents asking about bringing in gifts and cards at the end of term, especially in light of the Covid situation. Because the staff at our school have gone way above and beyond in their commitment throughout this pandemic with their positive can-do approach to supporting your children and their effort in planning and re-settling all year groups back to school, they couldn’t possibly be denied of any acts of kindness from you. A card or verbal thank you is just as welcome but if you do want to bring a small gift, please go ahead – they will be gratefully accepted.
Letters to the children Things are very different this year as we already
know! Transitions are complicated so we’ve decided
to write a letter to the children to let them know
their teacher for the next academic year. Letters for
the Thursday/Friday group will be given out on
Friday 10th July and letters for the Monday/Tuesday
group will be posted on Thursday 9th July.
Please remember to be positive about the new class
groups as the children are likely follow your lead.
If there are any concerns which you’d like to discuss, please email the helpline [email protected]
Star Reading Assessment at home or school Year 1–6 children. Have you taken your Star Reading Assessment at home or school yet? Don’t forget this important job. It will set you up for reading at your precise level, on myON, and provide you with lots of reading challenges for the summer. Let us know if you have any technical difficulties!

A small group of children, still attending school during
lockdown as their parents are Key Workers, have
worked hard to create The Saltergate Star, a selection of
mini news reports, activities and ideas for their peers at
home to read and enjoy.

Can I just say how wonderful and happily the boys have both settled back into school. This really is a
massive credit to all of your team. Our boys had really missed their teachers and their return to school
has been nothing but positive.
You’re all doing an amazing job throughout all of this.
Thank you all so much.
Infant and junior parent
Best wishes
