Vernon Primary SchoolYear 3: News items
Date: 19th Oct 2020 @ 12:08pm
We finally finished off our friendship bracelets today (after numerous attempts with slippery elastic and bead explosions!) to celebrate rainbow day. We discussed how, as a class, we are all friends together and we should be supporting each other and being consistently kind. The children chose their own designs and had a bead with their initials on to make their bracelet unique.

Whilst some children have done their Christmas designs in school, we are aware that some are isolating and have not had the chance.
If they would like to do a design, please print off the blank design sheet below (A4 size) and ask your child to get creative! There is also an ideas sheet and useful things to remember/hints to help.
Once completed please place your child’s design sheet in the green drop box at the external school foyer (open at drop off and pick up only) by Monday 19th October 2020 so we can quarantine the designs and send them all for scanning.
If you can’t print off the sheet, there are blank copies in the drop box. Please email [email protected] if you have any queries and we will do our best to help

TRAIL SHEETS and GOODY BAGS ON SALE AT SCHOOL FROM TODAY!
The PTA will be selling trail sheets for the Wanda the Witch Trail in the school car park today before pick up 2.30pm – 3.10pm. We are also planning on selling them next week – watch this space for further dates.
Wanda’s lost items will be on display in the windows of 36 businesses in Poynton from SATURDAY 24th OCTOBER – SATURDAY 31st OCTOBER (Half term).
- £2.50 for a trail sheet and a goody bag which contains sweets, chocolates and a wooden handmade Halloween decoration.
- £1 for a trail sheet alone.
We can take payments by card on a contactless machine. We can also accept cash, but it must be the correct change as we cannot touch the money (you will put it in a bucket and we will quarantine any cash before taking it out). We will hand out the Goody bags (which have been quarantined for over 96 hours) with a long grabber or tongs.
PLEASE QUEUE IN A SOCIALLY DISTANCED MANNER ON THE CHALK DOTS IN THE CAR PARK
Trail sheets will also be on sale at the Civic Hall so the rest of the Poynton community can also join in with the trail.
We will also be holding a special prize draw for an amazing witch pinata and goodies on Sunday 1st November for Vernon pupils only. Once you have completed your trail, please email a photo of your completed trail sheet with the child's name and class clearly written at the top to [email protected] before midnight on Saturday 31st October to enter the prize draw for the piñata and goodies.

On Friday, to celebrate European day, the children enjoyed tasting a range of different French foods and rating them out of 10. We tried crepes with fruit, croissants, pan au chocolat, french cake, brie, quiche and baguettes. The croissants and crepes were firm favourites - the brie not so much! Please see the Year 3 gallery for pictures of the children trying the foods.

The children loved learning our rap about plants yesterday in Science. I'm sure many of the children will have been singing it all evening - but if they weren't, please find the lyrics and youtube link attached so they can perform this for you at home!

Year Three have had a lovely afternoon celebrating Roald Dahl day. The children took part in a range of activities. Some created their own characters to add to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory including Kelly Cartwheel, Linda Lazy and Tulip Singalot. They then went on to design their own Wonka Chocolate Bar all of which had special power such as an everlasting bar that reappeared when you'd taken a bite!! They also had the opportunity to act out some of Roald Dahl's stories through playscripts.

Please find attached our updated first aid policy which is available in the school information section of the website.
All of our school policies have been reviewed and updated if required due to Covid-19. This is to protect our families, children and staff.
We cannot administer short term prescription medication such as antibiotics or topical medication. There is no change to the administering of medication for children with longer-term needs such as asthma, epilepsy or allergies, where the school have been given a specific care plan.
Thank you to all our families for their support in keeping us safe. If you require any further information please contact me via the school office: [email protected]
