Next week we are taking part in BBC Children in Need. Their theme is focusing on mental health and well-being. We will have a range of activities in school such as Act of Kindness Bingo in classes, learning the moves for the Joe Wicks workout and a mufti day on Friday 19th. Children can choose to wear either bright colours or fancy dress in exchange for £1.
At home with your child, you can bake and decorate a cake and send in the photo.
Have lots of fun!
Katie
Next Friday 19th November will be our latest coffee morning for parents. The theme will be ‘How we learn at St Nicholas School’
Dear Parents & Carers
If your child has COVID symptoms, please do not send them into school. They will need to take an LFD test and only send them in if the result is negative and if they are well enough.
If the result is positive, the children will need to isolate for 5 full days. They can test again on day 5 and day 6 and if both negative and the child is feeling well, they can return to school.
If they will not take a test, they will need to remain off school for the 10 days self-isolation period. Please make sure you inform your child's teacher if they are absent due to COVID.
As a reminder, children under the age of 18 years and 6 months do not need to self-isolate if they are a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID.
Kind regards
Katie Goodwin
Headteacher

The school’s private Occupational Therapist, Aniesa Blore, who currently works with the children in Key Stage 2, has written a new book “Parenting the Conundrum Child: The CAN do approach to uncovering their unique abilities”
It is a fantastic book with loads of advice about how to connect with and support your child with additional needs. It comes highly recommended from staff at St Nicholas. The link to the book on Amazon is below:
