Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Week beginning 18.10.21

  Tue 19 Oct 2021 Mr John Howe

  We are into the last week of the half term and I'm sure your children are ready for a break now. It's caught them all by surprise just how 'fast' a pace we have worked at to try and get back into normality and routine after the last 18 months of disruption.

   

  Reminder:  This Friday is an INSET day, children are not in school.

   

  Weekly COVID update:  3 new cases over the last week.  This should serve as a reminder why it is so important to test your children if they develop cold-type symptoms to avoid it spreading to others. 

  If a pupil has any of the three main symptoms of Covid-19, even if they are mild, they should self-isolate straight away and get a PCR test.

  The symptoms are:

  *a high temperature

  *a new, continuous cough

  *a loss or change to their sense of smell or taste.

   

  If a pupil is asked to get a PCR test if they are identified as a close contact by NHS Test and Trace, they may continue to come to school until they get the result of their PCR test back. If a child lives with someone who has tested positive, they should continue to come to school, but book a PCR test as a close contact. They do not have to self isolate while awaiting the results of a PCR test unless they have the symptoms outlined above.

   

  However, if a child shows symptoms and has been asked to/or is taking a PCR test, as a result of this, they must  self-isolate straight away and share the results of the PCR test with school before returning (if negative.) If positive the self-isolation period of 10 days applies.
   

   

• Harvest Festival

  Tue 12 Oct 2021 Mr J Howe

  Harvest Festival

  
  Once again, the school will be collecting food items for Harvest Festival in support of the local food bank in Sunderland. Parents, guardians and carers can donate food items by sending them into school, where they will be collected and taken to the hall, ready for harvest festival, with Rev Gareth Phillips, from Fulwell Methodist Church, next Thursday. Please note that the last day for donating Harvest Festival food items next Wednesday (20th October.) We would like to thank all families in advance for your generosity.

• Well done Anya and Esther!

  Tue 05 Oct 2021

  Well done to both Anya and Esther in Yr 4. What super role models for Seaburn Dene.

  Anya represented our school and community in the first ever meeting of Sunderland's Low Carbon Young People's Advisory Group. Anya was the youngest person to attend at Sunderland College and was able to share her passion around the environment and making our city a greener place to live in the future.She will play a big part in saying what is happening in Sunderland and get actively involved in creating an eco-friendly city for the future.

  Meanwhile, Esther gave a polished and confident presentation on stammering to her class. Esther help her classmates (and teachers) understand not only how common stammering is, but also, the importance of waiting for others to finish their sentences. Fantastic work, Esther.
