Executive Headteacher’s Weekly Letter
10th July 2020
Dear All,
There are seven school days left before the end of the summer term. If you are attending school at the moment, I am sure your teachers will have some fun activities planned. If you are at home, you can plan some end of term fun with your parents.
We will all be back at school in September which is great news. But before September comes, there is plenty of time for some well-earned relaxation.
In between relaxing, keep your brain thinking and learning. Remember your brain changes and gets stronger the more you use it!
So, keep reading with your family, learn a new word every day, practise your timetables and learn new skills.
Here are some amazing words to use in conversation: serendipity, stealthy, aurora, petrichor. Find out what they mean and use them when you can.
If that doesn’t exercise your brain, take a look at these optical illusions! What do you see?
If you enjoy the way these confuse your brain, you might like the works of an artist called Escher who once said: ‘He who wonders discovers that this in itself is wonder.’ That takes some thinking about too! Here is one of his works called, ‘Night and Day’. The more you look at his art, the more confusing it becomes.
Here is a lovely animation inspired by the picture. Take a look.
Now your brain will need a rest!
Take care!

Hello Everyone!
We have two and a bit weeks until the end of the term. Then it will be the summer holidays, yay! If I haven’t seen you at school, I do hope you and your family are well and that you are continuing with your home learning.
I came across something the other day which I thought you might watch. When I was little there was a character on TV called Basil Brush. There is a picture of him above. I used to think he was pretty silly but he did make me laugh!
I noticed that Basil has made a video of himself telling a story called ‘Sadsville’. A sad title but a story with a happy ending! It is quite long so you could maybe watch five minutes a day. See what you think. His voice can be a little irritating but he is cute and quite amusing!
You may have heard that we will all be back to school in September which is really exciting. We will make sure you get plenty of time to get used to being back at school so please don’t worry.
Take care of yourselves and each other,
Boom! Boom!

Dear All,
The sun is certainly shining on us. It is going to be a week for sun hats and sun cream and hopefully paddling pools and fresh air.
You will still need to keep up with your home learning so keeping looking at the activities your teachers are setting you. If you are in a good routine, keep going. If you need a new routine, you could try this one:
If you need your teacher’s help with any aspect of your home learning, your parents will know how to contact them. We are all here to help you even though we can’t be with you.
Mrs Collins, at Salhouse, has shared the wonderful resource below. Coronavirus has been a global pandemic. People all around the world have needed to take the same or similar steps as we have, to keep their families healthy and safe.
Finding out about the lives of people in and from different parts of the world is fascinating. I think you might like dipping into this virtual library. Take a look.
Have a great week,
Mrs Church
