Newsletter 7 Summer 2

The End of Term Draws Near
It has been the strangest school year in the history of the school, but time rolls on and we only have two more days of the summer term left. We're looking forward to our Moving Up day on Tuesday 21st and to seeing you all again, albeit briefly, before the summer holidays begin.
The teachers will be in school on Wednesday getting classrooms ready for September and the return of all pupils. In August, we will publish the risk assessments and other relevant documents for the re-opening of the school here on the school website. Please do check back and have a look at which measures will be in place to ensure a safe return for your children. In the meantime, please have a restful and safe summer holiday. Below, I have posted some photos of Hugo demonstrating how to relax! For those of you who haven't yet met Hugo, he'll be back in school for visits and hugs in September.

Summer Holiday work
After so many weeks of home-learning, some of you will be looking forward to a well-earned break from school work. For others having been at home for so long, the summer holidays will just seem like more of the same and you may be keen for some activities to complete. On Wednesday 22nd July, we will publish a list of activities and resources which you may like to get involved in over the break. These are by no means compulsory, but are merely provided for any families who wish to complete them or continue with home-learning. 

Thank you
​A very big thank you to all our families for everything you have done over the year. We've had so many messages of support and positivity through the lockdown and before. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered, driven and helped in so many ways. It is greatly appreciated and makes me so proud and happy to be part of South Tawton Primary School. 

Around School this week
Take a look at Year R's Frog themed dance: Click here
See how well year 6 have adapted to social distancing with their football rounders:

Group 7 have been all about ladybird life cycles and Group 8 have studied life cycles of lots of different plants and animals.

Great work from our pupils at home

PTA Crisp Packet Recycling
Thank you to everyone who has brought in their used crisp packets this year.  We have raised just under £60.00 so far and another box full of crisp packets was taken away for recycling on Monday.  Please continue to save your crisp packets throughout the holiday and bring them into school at the start of the new term.  

PTA Pre-loved Uniform
We have a good selection of uniform for sale on our PTA rail and items can be purchased for £1.00 each.  We will put the rail outside on Tuesday 21st July during the school day for anyone who would like to make a purchase. 

PTA Cash for Coins
Thank you to everyone who has donated foreign and old coins to the white bucket in the Admin Office.  The coins have raised £181.00 so far this year.

We are very grateful to the PTA for all of the support that they have given to the school throughout the year.
