Government's Roadmap and changes in school

As of today, the children will notice very few changes inside school as we continue with the measures we have had in place throughout. Children will continue in their class bubbles for learning, outside play, assemblies and lunchtime. Bubbles will be maintained with additional cleaning taking place between the different year groups. We will be maintaining our staggered drop off and pick up routines, but we will be removing our request that parents wear face masks on the drop off and pick up runs, however this is done on the understanding that parents maintain social distancing while waiting for their children to be dismissed. Children will continue to be allowed to wear PE kits on the day but as a school, I would repeat that this is in line with the school PE dress code, as detailed below:

For P.E. the children will require dark or navy shorts and a white T-shirt.

Children also require trainers and may wear dark coloured jogging pants and long sleeved top, school PE hoody or plain tracksuit top for outdoor games.

I have noticed some bright sportswear being worn to school on PE Days. Please ensure your child wears their PE T shirt (see above) with plain black or navy blue shorts, joggers or leggings and a school or plain hoodie or sweatshirt.

Book Amnesty

We are running a book amnesty  and we would be very grateful to receive back any Seaburn Dene Primary School books  - particularly our phonics reading books from Reception and current Year 1 - that you may find at home. Thank you again to those of you who have had a clear out recently and donated your good quality children’s books to us for our Pyjamarama Book Sale.

Attendance Spike Winners

Well done Yr 3 - our attendance winners for last week. 100% just can't be bettered, although Reception and Yr 4 ran them close with 98.7%. 

Travel Tracker

Our WOW Active Travel Tracker has revealed that this week, our most active classes were Y3 and Y1 at 100% (no car journeys directly to school.)
Our top scooting class was Reception.
Top cycling class was Y3.
Top walking class was Y6/1.
Top exercising at home class was Y3.
Overall, Seaburn Dene has an 88% active journey to school rate this week.

National Walk to School Week

Next week is National Walk to School Week, so what better time to join in the Seaburn Dene Primary School Park and Stride challenge. Lots of our children have started to enjoy the benefits of walking, cycling or scooting to school - thanks to Travel Tracker, and they’re looking forward to receiving their badge if they travel sustainably to school once a week for a month.  So if you’re able, why not join in? It’s better for our health and better for the environment.

Mental Health Week

The theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is connecting with nature which chimes quite well with National Walk to School Week.
Please share any pictures of your child/children's scooting, cycling or walking to school with me or connecting with nature for improved mental health - email: admin@seaburndeneprimary.co.uk
for my attention.
Here's Riley in Reception doing all above!
