Letter to children 27 March
Fri 27 Mar 2020Dear Children,
Over the last few days you will have seen and heard a lot of news and a lot of things seem very different because of the corona virus. School ended very suddenly for most of you last Friday, which may have felt fantastic at first but may well become less fun as time goes on! Your parents and carers have had to keep most of you at home as a way of keeping everyone safe. So your days will seem very different.
But there are lots of things that haven’t changed. We want you to know that the staff at St Robert Bellarmine will carry on thinking about you and caring about you and your families every day. We’d like to ask you to do the same for us please.
We won’t see you for a while so there are some important things we would like you to remember.
This is a very serious and challenging time and we must do everything that we are asked to do by the government. Yet we must also remember there are a lot of good things happening in amongst the bad things. People are talking to each other and are offering to help each other more. This is such a good thing. As well as staying in, washing hands and social distancing, let’s all try to be as kind, as helpful and as generous as we possibly can in the days ahead. Think about the needs of others. What is happening now offers us an opportunity to become a kinder, more considerate world.
We will keep in touch with you each week through your class page on the website. Please keep in touch with us by tweeting anything you want to share with us! We are still a very strong community even though we can’t see each other every day!
You are a fantastic group of children and while we have said goodbye for a while, keep trying to do your work at home, keep being kind and keep thinking of others.
I bet none of you ever thought you might think this but ...it’s OK to miss school!!
Finally, try not to argue with your brothers and sisters...too much!
Take care,
The Staff at St Robert Bellarmine.

Home work packs
Tue 24 Mar 2020Home work packs
Dear Parents/carers
All of the home work for children to access in their home learning is now on the class pages on the school website as indicated earlier.
It was impossible to email to parents due to the sheer volume.
It is important to make sure that your child does some work each day for an appropriate amount of time. It is probably best to work on an activity for approx. 30-45 mins dependent on the age of your child. They will work better if they have short breaks. They can then move onto another activity. Reading has been proven to be the most important activity a child can undertake. so please make sure your child reads to you every day for approx. 20-30 mins, again dependent on age. If your child is still an emerging reader, it is equally important for you to read to them. Try to give them a variety of activities each day so that they don't get bored. Some of the activities will take longer than others, so these may be split over a couple of days.
There is a phonics Read Write Inc live session each day. This is applicable for Nursery and Reception (set 1 speed sounds ) at 9.30 am and 12.30pm. Reception and Y1 can access the Set 2 speed sounds sessions at 10am and 1pm. Y1 can access Set 3 speed sounds at 10.30am and 1.30pm. The link is www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFClg9GdxtQ
There is a Joe Wicks PE lesson on youtube at 9-9.30am each morning. This is a great way to start the day!
Good luck in your new role as home educators!
There should be enough work set on the class pages should be sufficient for the next few weeks. Teachers will be working on future work packs in the forthcoming weeks.
Kind regards
M Dowell

CoronaVirus Information
Mon 16 Mar 2020Dear Parent/carers
As a school we continue to watch the news carefully regarding the coronavirus. We are awaiting guidance from the government and the local authority. We are continuing to promote good hygiene and vigilance in school.
In all events, we will only act under the guidance of Public Health England.
The students are very calm in school and going about the normal daily lives. I would ask for your continued support at this time. Please be assured that we, like all schools nationwide, are awaiting advice.

+Pay - direct payment to school
Thu 18 Jul 2019Dear Parents
An easier way for you to make school payments
From September 2019 we will be using +Pay on ParentMail – an online payment service which allows you to pay for school items quickly and easily on your smartphone, tablet or computer.
We will inform you about items you need to pay through ParentMail, and you will be able to pay electronically, using credit or debit cards as well as PayPal and PayPoint.
If you have an Android or Apple smartphone, we would highly recommend you download the free ParentMail App so that you can make easy, online payments on the go. To do this, simply search for “ParentMail” in your App store.
We will be going completely cashless from 4th September 2019 so you will need to be registered with ParentMail before this date in order to pay for school items as will no longer be accepting cash or cheques.
Please note, your bank statement will display either the school name or ParentMail, dependent on your payment method.
If you need any additional information or assistance, please use the help site: www.parentmail.co.uk/help/parenthelp/ or please contact the school office.
