Dear Mums, Dads and Carers,

Unfortunately, the school is closed to most children.

Government advice remains that every child who can be cared for at home should stay at home.

 

We have decided to issue on message to all families each week on a Monday rather than a daily message. We are aware that you are all in contact with teachers and teaching assistants and we feel that systems are well established so there is no need for a daily bulletin.

 

Home learning

New home learning packs are now available at the front of the school for all year groups and we ask you to collect these as soon as possible. Please wash your hands, wear a mask and respect social distancing while collecting.

 

If your child has a ball they will enjoy joining in with this video: https://youtu.be/bL2zuOx24GM

 

The Bishop’s Community Lockdown Recipe Book

Temos a sorte de viver e trabalhar em uma comunidade diversificada, onde as crianças aprendem e se desenvolvem com as experiências e origens umas das outras. Gostaríamos de celebrar as diferentes culturas em nossa comunidade e fornecer algumas atividades de bloqueio, compilando um livro de receitas.

Envie-nos receitas de diferentes países e culturas para office@bishop.norfolk.sch.uk

Compartilharemos essas receitas nas próximas semanas.

 

We are lucky to live and work in a diverse community where the children learn and develop from each other’s experiences and backgrounds. We would like to celebrate the different cultures in our community and provide some lockdown activities by compiling a recipe book.

Please send us recipes from different countries and cultures to office@bishop.norfolk.sch.uk

We will share these recipes over the coming weeks.

 

Mamy szczęście, że żyjemy i pracujemy w zróżnicowanej społeczności, w której dzieci uczą się i rozwijają na podstawie doświadczeń i pochodzenia innych. Chcielibyśmy uczcić różne kultury w naszej społeczności i zapewnić pewne działania związane z blokowaniem, tworząc książkę z przepisami.

Prześlij nam przepisy z różnych krajów i kultur na adres office@bishop.norfolk.sch.uk

Będziemy udostępniać te przepisy w nadchodzących tygodniach.

 

 

Free additional mobile phone data – VODAFONE NOW INCLUDED

The Department of Education has set up a scheme to increase data allowances for mobile phone users on certain networks. This is to help children access remote education.

Children with access to a mobile phone on one of the following networks might be able to benefit:

• Three
• Smarty
• Virgin Mobile
• EE
• Tesco Mobile
• Sky Mobile
• Vodafone

Other providers may join the scheme at a later stage.

We would need to make a request on your behalf. If you are interested in gaining additional data please email office@bishop.norfolk.sch.uk with the following information:

• the name of the account holder
• the number of the mobile device
• the mobile network of that device (for example Three)

 

If successful you will receive a text when the extra data becomes available.

 

 

 

Provision in school –

Children must not come to school if they, anyone in the household or anyone they have been in contact with have a continuous cough, temperature, loss of taste or loss of smell.

Children should only come to school if they cannot stay at home. This will mean that some children do not come in everyday.

Children must only come into school if a place has been confirmed by the school.

 

Children in Y3 and above should be dropped off at the front of the school to limit the number of adults on site. Please ensure you wear a mask and keep 2 metres away from other adults.

8:55 Gates open

9:00 Start of school

3:15 End of school
