This week, there has been a lot of transition work going on in all Year groups. The Year 2s had their Zoom chats with Mr Butler and Mrs Field at Holy Trinity and their virtual tour of the school caused great excitement. Across the rest of the school, the children have found out the classes that they will be in next year and this is a sure sign that the end of term is approaching.
With less than one week left before the children finish school for the summer, I can safely say that this has been one of the most unusual and challenging years in my working life. I have been so uplifted by the support and positivity that our parent body have given me and the staff team - we always say that there is something special about working at Sandygate and one of the things that makes it so special are the parents and carers.
We have been looking through the home learning books that have been sent in - these will be sent back at the end of term- and the quality and quantity of work that the children have done is magnificent. We have noticed that the children have made progress and have taken part in a wide range of activities. I know many of you have found it tough and have decided that teaching is not a career choice you will be making but you certainly deserve one of my special stickers - please see below (Sorry that it is not a scented one - or smelly sticker as the children call them)!
We are currently working on our plans for September and I hope to have some details to you by the end of next week. I know that the government guidance may change again before September but we hope to be able to sketch out an outline which will give you an indication of the direction that we are going in and allow you to make plans for the beginning of the autumn term
