Dear Parents/Carers,
National Lockdown:
Thank you for following the guidance during this national lockdown. Please
continue to do so:
Lockdown Number 2: Thursday 5th November 2020
Parents/carers should wear face masks to drop off and collect their children
Parents/ carers should stand 1 metre + apart in the queue outside school and
also in the playground
Adults may only speak to one other person not in their bubble in the
playground
Adults should leave the playground immediately after they have collected
their children
Please remember that if any family member is displaying one of the three symptoms
of a new, continuous cough, a temperature of 37.8 degrees Celsius or above or a
loss or change to your sense of smell or taste they should take a test for Covid
and family members in the same bubble should also stay at home until the test
result comes back. If the test is negative, the family members can return to
school. If the test is positive, family members need to stay at home for 14 days.
Congratulations to our Stars of the Week for last week
16th-20th November 2020

News and reminders
SRE
I have continued to meet with parents this week regarding RSE – explaining
our curriculum and answering questions about specific concerns. I plan to
write down all questions and our answers and publish them, but I have more
meetings booked this week and next week so I will do so when I have held all
meetings.
4
As I stated last week, meetings are held in a well-ventilated room and we sit
socially distanced. Meetings are held with one parent/carer at a time (or two
parents of the same family if they live in the same bubble). If anyone would
like to bring an interpreter they are welcome but we ask that they are a
current parent at this school.
If you would be interested in having a meeting with Danielle and me to
discuss this further please email the school office: [email protected]
or telephone 020 7727 7727 and we will timetable you in. The original
presentation for the consultation is on the website under curriculum/
curriculum subjects/ RSE so please look at it again before the meeting. If you
would like to send your questions in advance, it would be helpful but equally,
we will answer questions on the day.
Places available at St Anne’s Nursery
We currently have places available in our Nursery for January
2021 and September 2021. These are usually taken up very
quickly, so if you wish to make an application for a younger
sibling, please speak to the office to ensure your place.
If you know of any families looking at Nurseries for their young children at the
moment, please also ask them to contact us. Even though they are unable to
visit in person, we will happily talk to them and send them further information
including a welcome video.
Seesaw Thank you for signing on to SeeSaw. One parent has pointed out a difficulty
using it on her phone and we are looking into this issue; if anyone else is
having a problem, please let us know. If you have not registered yet, please
do this ASAP so that your child is prepared in case we need to send a bubble
home. If you need further information or help, please ask.
Purchase of school uniform
We now have a new feature via the ParentMail App where you can order
and purchase uniform.
To order please make payments on the app by 3pm and your orders will be
ready for collection from 8.45am the next working day in the School Office.
Please ensure you order the correct size as we can only exchange items with
the labels and bags intact.
Thank you

Fabulous Learning
Nursery chidlren have been completing exciting
learning in their space station as part of their
project on space.
Anti-Bullying Fortnight
This week has been the second of our two week focus on anti-bullying. The
theme has been ‘United against Bullying’ and once again, we enjoyed
seeing interesting learning on this subject in our assemblies today.
Year 1- Anti-bullying
Year 1 children have been making friendship apples. They talked about them
in assembly and explained that each colour represents a different quality in a
friend – eg, kindness, trust, and being caring.
6
Reception children have been thinking about kind behaviours and thanking
their friends with special notes if they are kind to them.
Year 4 have been studying Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and they
looked at a scene in the film of the book. The children had to decide how
they would help Harry as the clip showed him being bullied by the character
Malfoy.
7
Daisy’s Y4 class have designed some anti-bullying posters
Phoebe’s Year 2 Class Assembly.
Phoebe’s Year 2 class performed their amazing assembly yesterday about
their learning so far this term – and what a lot they have achieved! From
creating time capsules, setting targets, writing about the Big Bad Wolf; to
learning about the properties of shapes, creating the most beautiful art work -
and showing huge talent in singing and dancing! Very well done to you all!
Parents of Phoebe’s Class will be sent a link via ParentMail so that you will be
able to watch
8
Year 5 have been reading the book ‘Wonder’ about a child with a
disfigurement. They have collaborated to give August the main character
advice if people make fun of him or bully him.
Matt’s Sporting Stars
Remember…Matt is looking forward to hearing from anyone who takes
part in sport, enters competitions or is a member of a sports club outside of
school. Please send in photos and some explanation of your sport outside
school so that we can all hear about it! We have heard from Nala this
week:
This is Nala in Year 1. Nala attends Jiu jitsu 4 times a week. The first picture was
taken last November and the second picture this September. She hasn’t
been from March until September due to lock down. Nala is excited to get
her next belt.
