Weekly reminders for week beginning 27th September 2020
We had another good week at Clockhouse last week despite the strange and tricky times we are living through. The children continue to be fabulous as do our whole community. We really could not do this without your unreserved support.
Harvest Festival
On Tuesday we will be having our annual Harvest Festival with the children. As per the letter that came out, we will not be able to accept tins but urge you, should you be out shopping, to put a food donation in one of the Food Bank drop off points at a supermarket. If you wish to take a picture doing this we would love to see it.

Weekly reminders for week beginning 21st September 2020
Another good week was had at Clockhouse last week and we are slowly adjusting to the new normal! I have to say the children have been nothing short of amazing and we continue to be thankful to work with such a supportive community. It was lovely to welcome the new Reception children and some of the new Nursery children to Clockhouse last week and like the rest of our new children, they have settled so well. We look forward to welcoming more Nursery children this week.
Thank you also for the support given to Jeans for Genes day. We will let you know how much we have raised for this worthwhile charity once the counting has been completed.
I know many of you have asked about this very important provision. We are currently working together to devise a system that will allow clothing to be got from the No Cost Uniform Shop and will communicate this with you all soon.
The following letters went out last week:
What the children will be learning this year (all year groups)
As always we thank you for your continued support in all we do.
Have a good week everyone!

Weekly reminders of week beginning 14th September 2020
Nursery
Welcome to some of our Nursery children who will be starting with us later in the week, as with Reception we look forward to welcoming the children and their families to Clockhouse.
Meet the Teacher
As many of you know, normally during this time we hold short 'Meet the Teacher' sessions. Obviously this is not possible at the moment but again we are not put off by this and have come up with an alternative. Look out for a short presentation video coming out from each teacher towards the end of the week, where they will talk to you about the year ahead. If you have any questions that you would like them to answer please send them a message.
Class Dojo
If you have not yet signed into Class Dojo please ask your class teacher for your login details. If you have a new phone or device and need the password again to access the Dojo please also ask, it really is such a helpful and valuable communication tool for us and you as well as a way of celebrating your children's achievements in school. More so now than ever as, we will only be sending home paper letters in exceptional circumstances and we are sure you do not want to miss anything.
The following letters went out last week:
Walking home - Year 3 to Year 6
Nut Allergy - Nut Free School
As always we thank you for your continued support in all we do.
Have a good week everyone!
