Update from Mrs Todd

22nd January 2021Denise Todd

I hope this message finds you all well and looking after one another, within your family bubble.

I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing lots of the children’s remote learning work this week, whether this has been uploaded onto Google Classroom, Seesaw or Class Dojo. The teachers have pointed out several outstanding pieces of work and I have been in touch with these children to let them know how delighted I am with them.

Mrs Jewitt has put many of the photos sent in to us, with children tackling remote learning within all areas of the curriculum, onto the front page of the website. If you haven’t yet sent a photo in, it isn’t too late to do so!

We do appreciate that many of you are juggling the remote learning with your own working from home schedules and we do understand that this is not easy. Many of the teachers working from home, have their own children to deal with too! However, it is really important that you keep in touch with your child’s class teacher and upload work when you can.

We have had 3 staff members and 1 child test positive for COVID this week, which has meant that both the Nursery and the Y4 bubble are not in school until Tuesday 26th January. On average, we have had 75 children in school each day, from Reception to Year 6.

As ever, we are here to help with any concerns or worries you might have at this challenging time, so please contact us on 0191 4564977 or email myself

dtodd@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Take care and stay safe,

Mrs Todd

COVID Case Year 4 Bubble

21st January 2021Denise Todd

Dear Parents and Carers,

Further to our announcement that there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 within the Year 4 bubble, we need to update you with the following information. We have carried out a full risk assessment having spoken to Public Health and Local Authority advisors.

The children in the Year 4 bubble, who were in school on Friday 15th January, have been identified as a close contact and must therefore self-isolate for 10 days, from Friday 15th January. This means their last day of self-isolation will be Monday 25th January they can return to school on Tuesday 26th January. They will be provided with online work during this time.

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are recent onset of a new continuous cough and/or a high temperature and/or a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia). If your child, or anyone in your household, develops these symptoms, your whole household must remain at home and not go to work, school or public areas. You should arrange testing for the person who has developed symptoms. When the result is known further advice will be available.

Testing can be arranged by calling 119 or via the NHS website:

nhs.uk/coronavirus

How to stop COVID-19 spreading

There are things we can all do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19:

  • wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
  • use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
  • wash your hands as soon as you get home
  • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
  • put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards

 

Any siblings should attend school as normal. If there are any issues with your child accessing work during their self isolation, please ring school and speak to myself.

 

We appreciate your support at this very difficult and challenging time for everyone.

Update from Mrs Todd

15th January 2021Denise Todd

I hope this finds you all well and staying safe, it’s been far too cold to venture out today anyway!

Thank you for all of the hard work you’ve put in with your children to support their remote learning this week. This is very much a home/school effort to support the children during this uncertain and challenging time.

We have had over 100 children accessing support in school this week, at various times. Nursery is fully open, in line with Government guidance.

From Monday, the parent/carer of a child entitled to a means tested Free School Meal, will  again begin to receive shopping vouchers. Once again, the Government has chosen to use Edenred, so lets hope this runs more smoothly than it did last time. The vouchers from Edenred, will run until February half term.

If you need help with your child’s remote learning, general advice on where to turn for other support, or if you are in need of a food parcel, please contact us at school on 4564977 or contact myself – dtodd@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Take care and remember, we are here to listen and support where we can.

Update from Mrs Todd

8th January 2021Denise Todd

I hope this update finds you all well and looking after each other, within your family home.

Thank you to everyone at home who has now taken on the role of ‘teacher’ for your child’s home learning. We have seen some excellent work going on this week!

The teachers and support staff have been working really hard to support both pupils and parents with online work etc and we have made it very clear that there are staff in school to help and offer support if this is needed. If the teachers have had no contact from you or your child, depending on the age group, then we will be ringing to ask how we can support with home learning. If we are still not able to contact you, we will make a home visit.

It’s a good idea to have a similar timetable to school for your child. For example, getting up and ready to start their work at normal school time, breaks, lunchtime and then finishing when school does. Some parents have already reported back that this is working really well for them.

The teachers are working in school on a rota and therefore can not always respond immediately to messages during the working day, though I know they have been trying very hard to do this! Please also be mindful of the time you contact your teachers too.

At the moment, school is providing packed lunches to those who have requested them and are eligible for free school meals, via means testing. Please contact the office staff at

info@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

if this is something you require. We are also able to signpost parents for food parcels or other help and support.

We would love to receive some photos of your child working at home, this can be any activity, not just sitting at the table writing. Please send your photos to either the class teacher or dtodd@ashley.s-tyneside.sch  and we will create a new montage with them on the school website.

Take care and stay safe.

Learning from Home Support

8th January 2021Natalie Jewitt

There has been lots on social media about using games consoles to access home learning and our friends at ICT in Schools, who are based at The Word in South Shields, have produced this brilliant guide explaining how to use them.

Download (PDF, 116KB)

Their website is also worth a look for any other support you may need with technology, or if in doubt, do what I do, I ask my youngest daughter!
