• RSE Day

  Fri 25 Jun 2021 KRiley

  On Thursday we celebrated RSE day at school.  Each class took part in RSE activities around the theme of "Faces".  We talked about emotions and how we show emotions.  We also talked about families and how all families are different, but all special.  We talked about "Respect" and how we show respect in different situations.  We also talked about love and ways to look after our own metal health.  Finally, we also discussed positive self image and identified positive things about ourselves, building positive self-esteem and self-confidence.  

  Please see the photos for more information. 

  

• Year 6 Heart Dissection at Repton School

  Fri 18 Jun 2021 S Tague

  Year 6 had a fantastic opportunity on Tuesday as part of their work on the circulatory system during our Science Week by going to Repton School to do a heart dissection. This first hand experience helped them produce some amazing work. Their behaviour was top notch so well done to the Year 6 team and thanks to Miss Jordan for organising. 

  

• Keeping Our School Litter Free

  Thu 17 Jun 2021 S Tague

  This week we have had a group of Year 4 and 5 girls who have been extra keen to keep our school tidy. Armed with litter pickers and bin bags they have given up their lunch time to patrol the field clearing it of litter. Even though our school is very tidy they still managed to fill two bin bags with litter and rubbish that has blown onto our school grounds. Well done girls and keep up the excellent work!

  

• Year 2 Trip to Carsington Water

  Fri 11 Jun 2021 S Tague

• Comic Relief 2021

  Fri 19 Mar 2021

  We can still have fun and raise money for this great cause even during these restrictive times. Thanks to Mrs Riley and our school council for coming up with the ideas. Children were dressed either as super heroes, in something red or Comic Relief merch.

  All classes did fun activities and some classes did a talent show. Well done to all those children that took part!

• Return to school for all children on 8th March

  Tue 23 Feb 2021 S Tague

  Please see letter about all children returning to school on March 8th.

   

  Following on from The Prime Minister’s announcement last night that all school children in England will return to school on 8^th March we are looking forward to welcoming all our children back on this date. This news is very exciting as a full school means we are more like the Repton Primary that we all know again. The return in March to all children does not pose us with any panic or stress and we will revert back to the successful system that we had in place in September. The first term was a huge success in terms of very limited disruption so we intend to follow this again. We will of course welcome children back within these current restrictions until such a time, like the end of June, might allow us to ease measures even further.

   

  So in the meantime, from 8^th March, it will mean that all children will have a window of arrival in the morning, staggered play and lunchtimes and a staggered end to the school day. These arrangements will be as follows:

   

  Start of day:

   

  8.45 – 9am: Children arrive at school

   

  End of day:

   

  3pm: Reception, Year 1 and Year 2

   

  3.05pm: Year 3

   

  3.10pm: Year 4/5 and 6

   

  As before if you have a younger and older child please collect at the older child’s later time and the younger child will wait with their teacher.

   

  Lunches

   

  The smaller bubbles currently have meant that it has been possible to get all children through the dinner hall in the short space of time. With a full school however, this will not be possible with the bubble system. Therefore, it would be easier if your child brought in their own sandwiches but if they did want a cooked dinner then these would be available but would temporarily revert back to a take away style lunch. Of course if your child is in Reception, Year 1 or 2 or is entitled to a free school meal then these will be catered for. We will also plan to get Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 through the dinner hall in their allotted time.

   

  Breakfast and after school clubs:

   

  With all children returning to school and potentially parents returning to the workplace we are going to reopen our breakfast and after school provisions.

   

  If you would like a place at breakfast club from 8^th March please sign up in the usual way – contact Mrs Ward – breakfastclub@repton-pri.derbyshire.sch.uk

   

  For after school club contact Premier on www.premier-education.com/parents/venue/courses/8191/

   

   

   

   

  School Uniform

   

  We expect all children to return in their full school uniform but we are also sympathetic to situations where children might have grown out of shoes or uniform items and places have been closed. If this is the case then please let your class teacher know.

   

  We are very much looking forward to having all our children back again on 8^th March so until then - take care.

   

                              

  Best wishes

   

  Mr Tague
