  A word about press ups :

  If your child cannot maintain a completely straight back and appears to be straining, please advise they come onto their knees. Keeping wrists in line with their shoulders so that the weight is going onto their arms. Dipping in the lower back can lead to injury. Wall press-ups are a great and safer alternative!

  A word about lunges :

  It is important to ensure that there is a straight line between knee and ankle when stepping forwards. Do not allow the knee to cave inwards.

  It is often easier to do a backwards lunge and holding on to the wall will help improve technique whilst learning

• Red Kites Childcare

  Fri 20 Mar 2020

  Childcare at St Peter’s School during the Covid-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak

   

  Every child who can be safely cared for at home should be.

   

  If you do not have childcare at home and you meet the following criteria, you will be able to register with us to provide care from your child between 8am and 5.30pm:

   

  • Vulnerable children (you will already have received a call from us)
  • Children with EHCPs (you will already have received a call from us)
  • Children of key workers (see the next sheet)

   

  Our amazing staff have stepped in to ensure this continues throughout the Easter break.

   

  This is for children from Rainbow Fish through to Year 6

   

  A hot meal will be provided for every child attending so no need to worry about sourcing food or cooking for your child after work.

   

  Please let us know by 4pm the previous day whether you require childcare for the following day using redkitesstpeters@bucksgfl.org.uk

• COVID-19 Update

  Mon 16 Mar 2020

  Dear Parents,

  
  In accordance with government advice, if you or a member of your household has Coronavirus symptoms (high temperature and / or dry persistent cough) please self-isolate for 14 days.
  This is applicable to any pupils who may have already begun the self isolation process when the recommendation was 7 days.

• COVID-19

  Mon 16 Mar 2020

  Dear Parents,

  
  I feel that it is appropriate given recent developments both nationally and locally to write to you specifically about our ongoing approach to the international spread of the Coronavirus, Covid19.
  We continue to follow all the appropriate guidelines from Public Health England and the guidance issued by the Department of Education with regard to how schools should handle the current situation. The guidance is updated daily.
  We do not currently have any cases of Covid19 within school and as such we remain open as per the guidance and the risk to any children or staff is classed as low. We are conscious of the potential for the spread of the virus between pupils and as a result we have taken the decision to suspend all inter-school activities such as visits to other schools until after the Easter break. This means the visit to Burnham Grammar and the Langley Grammar visit will not go ahead next week. We have also made the decision to cancel the Year Five visit to Cippenham Church and the Reception class trip to the Look Out Centre.
  In addition, we would highlight the Government guidance issued which is clear that children must not come into school for 7 days from the point at which they first show any sign of one or more of the following symptoms:
  
  a) Fever
  b) Dry cough
  c) Shortness of breath

  
  If any of these symptoms are present or you are worried in any way that you or your child may have contracted coronavirus, you should self-isolate. If you have contacted 111, please then notify the school about the action you have been asked to take.
  
  Hygiene of everyone attending school is something we all need to remain mindful of. Pupils are directed to wash their hands several times a day. The daily cleaning routine in the school ensures that high contact areas, such as door handles, are disinfected regularly.
  We will inform all parents immediately if and when the situation changes. In the event of an enforced school closure, we shall endeavour to ensure your child has appropriate work to complete.
  I believe that in these unprecedented times communication is key and can assure you that we will notify you of any additional information or measures we are taking as soon as possible.
  Many thanks for your ongoing support.
  Yours sincerely
  
  
  Mrs Tanya Morris
  Headteacher
