Dear Parents,

I would like to take this opportunity to say how much we are looking forward to have your children back in the classroom.

It has been an extremely challenging time for everyone and I understand that many of the children will have anxieties about our return to school. I want to assure you that as the class teacher nothing is more important to me than the pupils happiness and well-being. Although there are changes to the school environment the classroom will be what it always is, a place of creativity, learning and fun!

We have exciting topics coming up and I can't wait to see the children back in the classroom, creating fantastic work.

What do we need to know about Bishop Rock.

The school day starts at 8:40am (register will be taken at 8:50am) and finishes at 3pm.

Please drop off at the back door, as we were before Christmas (adults, please wear a mask if you can) and collect at the top gate of school (as before Christmas).

As we have all been at home, we know snacks have been in plentiful supply. On return, your child may struggle to make it from breakfast to lunch without a snack, so please, feel free to send them in with a healthy snack for break time. Try and avoid chocolate and crisps if possible. Also, please make sure you bring in your named water bottle everyday.

The weather at the moment is so changeable, please make sure your child has a named coat everyday in school with them. They may also want to bring an extra layer if they get cold.

Spellings are handed out on a Friday and spelling tests are on a Monday morning. Reading books will be changed on a Monday and a Thursday. We do have a reading slot everyday in school where I hear readers, so please make sure your child's book is in their bag everyday - many thanks.

Mr Matthews
