Parent and Carer update: 5th May

Dear Parents/Carers,

We hope you and your families had a restful weekend. Please see update for Tuesday 5^th May below.

Message from Fiona Damen of Active Schools

Just a heads up to the schools pupils, staff and parents that I am starring in Active schools star jumps tweet this Thursday 😊 Be great to get as many likes and shout outs from our  cluster active schools as possible ! At the end  I will ask  the families and staff  to video themselves trying it at home and share with us using #ActiveVideos and tag @ActiveSchoolsED  .   Be fun to see if we can get as many as possible.

Thanks

Fiona

Uniform Day – Friday 15^th May 2020

 To help everyone feel connected we are having a ‘Uniform Day’ on Friday 15^th May, during which we are encouraging everyone to wear their school uniform and share a photo of it on Twitter @StcuthbertsRCP or on your class Team.  Hopefully this bit of fun will help the children still feel part of Team St Cuthberts!

A reminder that Friday 8^th May is a bank holiday.  Monday 18^th May is also a bank holiday.  There will be no online learning or daily update on these days.
