Dear Parents and Carers,

We were delighted this week to hear that the school has been nominated by Surrey Arts for a music mark. This is such a boost for us – it recognises the school’s commitment to a broad and balanced curriculum, with importance given to ensuring children can access a musical education. Also, in spite of the current restrictions, it reminds us of the importance of creativity and the expressive arts. We miss hearing the children sing in whole school assemblies, but I’m so pleased that music within the curriculum is thriving and that 1:1 instrumental lessons have been able to continue this term. Do get in touch with the school offices for more information on the private music lessons that run throughout the week.

The Christmas shows are coming together well – at the juniors this week, the woods were transformed into a magical winter wonderland! It was so good to see the children in costume excitedly acting their scenes. We’ll be in touch soon with details about how we’ll share the finished performance online. As usual, we won’t charge for tickets, but this year we’ll be collecting for the Royal Surrey Children’s Ward, once we’ve covered costs. So please do keep an eye on ParentPay where you’ll be able to donate. I was amazed to see that HTSC’s crowdfunder got off to an excellent start last week. With no Christmas fair or bonfire night this term, the committee weren’t sure how fundraising would go; once again, however, the generosity of our parent-body has been astonishing. Thank you so much, especially so given this year’s difficult circumstances. This opportunity to support the work of the school will continue at least until the end of term.

With the news this week identifying Surrey as remaining within Tier 2 after the lockdown ends, I need to reiterate some of our safety measures. Please ensure that your child arrives as close as possible to their staggered arrival time. This is to minimise mixing across the classes. Similarly, once you have collected your child at the end of the day, please leave promptly and don’t wait around to chat with other families. We’re working really hard in school to keep apart from one another – please do the same at drop off and pick up. If your child shows any of the Covid symptoms (high temperature, cough, loss of taste or smell), please make sure that they are tested, and keep them at home if you or any of your household is awaiting a test result. Many of the schools in Guildford have been struggling to stay open due to the numbers of positive cases. Please let’s remain vigilant and do our very best to keep each other safe. Thank you so much!

With love, Clare

Hi All,

We have one volunteer for a new co-Chair so please do consider putting your name forward if you can support by undertaking a second (or third) co-Chair role. We also have a vacancy for a secretary to support the team. In order to make this all official, and to ensure we can show off how much money we made last year even with such a difficult set of circumstances, we are holding our annual general meeting next Thursday at 8 pm, the zoom details will be shared via ParentMail next week.

And for the fun bit:

Bake and Stroll
This weekend we have the long-awaited Bake and Stroll, details have been shared via ParentMail, but as a reminder, here are the baking categories:

Upcoming events
We will be hosting a healthy January event in the new year which will have challenges for all of the family, and for those parents who want a more ‘involved’ and somewhat harder challenge, there is an option to donate a little more and see if you can complete the adult version. A huge thank you to Gini for all of the hard work she has done to prepare for this already!

Finally, we have raised over £130 with Stikins since July so please do continue to use them. For each order placed ordering Pewley Down Infant School’s unique code 35713, we receive 30% commission for the school. You can order online (www.stikins.co.uk), over the phone (01270 668076). If you use the link on the http://www.holytrinity.surrey.sch.uk/The-School/Parents/Uniform/Infant.aspx page of our school’s website, the school’s code is automatically filled in for you.

Happy baking and strolling!

HTSC

Hi Everyone,

Pitch 2020 Fund
Thank you to those who have donated and shared the link with other family members. The total raised this week stands at £1,100. We are using GoFundMe for direct donations to the Pitch 2020 Fund for families and friends of the school who are able to, and would like to, contribute in lieu of donating at events which we have not been able to provide this year. HTSC has pledged two years of fundraising efforts to raise £50K for the new MUGA pitch which was installed in the summer.

Bake Sale – Year 3 & 4 Friday 4th December
Don’t panic, you don’t need to do anything unless you have volunteered to be a baker! Instead of asking for cake donations from everyone, or people to man/sell, we have a few keen bakers per year group who will bake a selection of cakes, individually wrap, quarantine, and then deliver a box of cakes to each class. A suggested donation is £1 which your child can bring in with them and put in the class jar, or there will be an online PayPal payment option if you’d prefer.

If you have a child with an allergy, we would ask you to provide something suitable on the day of your child’s cake sale (we don’t have access to dietary information). If you would like more information or would like to volunteer as a baker, please email helen@thomasday.co.uk

The dates for this term are:
Years 3 & 4 – Friday 4 December

Dear Parents and Carers,

Our hero this week reminded us all that being a peacemaker is something to strive for; Gandhi achieved so much by refusing to be an aggressor and refraining from anger. His peaceful protests changed the lives of so many in India, but also changed attitudes around the world. We also spoke about Jesus’ words to love one another even when it’s hard, to “turn the other cheek”. At HTPD, we aim to live out our school value that we are each “treasured and loved as a unique child of God”; fully embracing this statement results in a Gandhi-like spirit across the community – and that attitude produces forgiveness, tolerance, empathy, celebration of one another’s differences and successes, forbearance and compassion to understand one another’s struggles.

I’m so glad that you were able to meet your child’s teacher for Parents’ Evenings over the last fortnight and I hope that you found it as helpful and encouraging as the teachers did. We always value the home-school partnership and love hearing your perspective on your child’s experience at HTPD. Whilst the Zoom technology took some getting used to, I hope you enjoyed hearing about your child’s successes over the term so far and that you’ve now got a clearer picture of how your child is getting on. Do get in touch if you didn’t manage to make an appointment or if the technology didn’t suit you. We’d be happy to make time to talk.

I hope you were excited to hear all the details about the curriculum that your child is experiencing, whether it’s big events like Year 5’s Tudor Day or Year 2’s Fire Demonstration, or specific writing tasks that capture the imagination like Year 4’s letter home from Hadrian’s Wall. I’m so delighted that our teaching team has been able to find ways to keep the HTPD creative spirit alive in our class bubbles this term!

As the term marches on, can I thank everyone again for doing so well with all the Covid arrangements. I just wanted to clarify that if you have older children sent home from secondary school because they have come into contact at their school with someone who now has Covid, their younger siblings can still attend HTPD unless they or anyone in the household starts to show symptoms. Also, a quick reminder that self-isolation means staying at home. Older siblings should not be collecting children from HTPD if they are meant to be self-isolating for 14 days. Please keep up the good work that’s ensuring that we can stay open. Abiding by the lockdown regulations is resulting in Guildford’s infection rate coming down – let’s keep going everyone!

With love, Clare

Can anyone help with Child Psychology Research ?
I am a Masters Student from Guildford, studying to become an Educational Psychologist. I am currently recruiting child participants ages between 10-14 years old for my MSc Dissertation at the University of Surrey.

My study is exploring Vicarious learning in children. Specifically how they learn attitudes from adult facial expressions. The study should only take 10 minutes and can be completed on any computer or laptop (but unfortunately not tablet, sorry!)

The study would be a nice opportunity for kids to experience an official psychological study and I'm happy to connect with anyone interested in studying psychology to a graduate level.

If anyone is interested in having their young one's participate in the study before next Monday it would be much appreciated. We don't yet have enough data!

Thank you! Please contact James Finnian jg01228@surrey.ac.uk

HTSC Committe

Dear Parents and Carers,

With the second lockdown underway, I’m relieved that on this occasion, unlike earlier in the year, we are able to remain open to all the children. Despite all the restrictions, we’re so glad to be able to continue to provide a full curriculum across the school. Thank you so much for continuing to support us by reinforcing all the health and safety messages at home. I’m also so pleased to see that, while the children are aware of the impact of coronavirus, they seem to remain cheerful and not unduly anxious. It’s such an important balance.

This week has been great – the different year groups have been immersed in exciting learning opportunities. The children in Year 4 were visited by a Roman historian, John Eagle of the XIVth Legion, who drilled them in Roman Army marching techniques and century formation. In Year 5, rather than taking a trip into town to learn about Tudor Guildford, the children listened to some of our own staff experts talk about local places of interest at different photo stations around the school grounds. See if they can tell you about what they found out. Year 3 carried out some amazing sound science investigations, Year 2 built fabulous houses from the time of the Great Fire of London and Reception made autumn crowns at the Wild Place.

For me, it will be really sad not to be celebrating at our usual annual bonfire night this weekend. I’ve stood on the gate every November 5th, welcoming the school community to one of our most loved events for over 15 years! Instead, we made up for it by celebrating with an online firework display…not quite the same, but better than nothing. We reflected on how important it is for our souls to shine like fireworks in a dark sky especially through these troubled times.

In a similar way, we’re determined to provide lasting memories in the run up to Christmas. We’re planning to film our Christmas shows this year so that the children still have the excitement of a performance. At the juniors, Year 6 have already started rehearsals for this year’s production, “Silent Night”. Children in the other junior classes will also be involved, if you consent for them to take part so look out for a letter coming out on Parentmail. Similarly at Pewley, Year 2 are getting ready for a “Twelve Days of Christmas Nativity” which will also include the whole school so, again, look out for a Parentmail. These films will then be available to download, but we will ask you not to share them on social media.

Please do remember to keep us informed if anyone in your household shows symptoms of coronavirus; it’s so important for us to be aware of any likely infections in the school community so that we can take the right action. The office teams are working hard to answer questions from families, but do look on the Covid19 tab of our website, and also the government advice pages (https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus) if you are not sure what to do.

Finally, huge thanks again for your generous outpouring of support for our hardship fund. We have raised over £1800, which means that we will be able to provide food vouchers to all those in receipt of benefits-related free school meals for the Christmas holiday period as well as for over the half term break. Please do get in touch with Lucy or Bridgit, our home-school link workers if you find yourself in financial difficulty and would like some practical support (HT lucyc@htpd.surrey.sch.uk or PD bridgitb@htpd.surrey.sch.uk) – in addition if your circumstances have changed because of Covid19 and you feel that you may now be eligible for free school meals, do speak to the office team as they will be able to help with your application.

Let’s make sure that no-one in our school community goes hungry at this difficult time.

With love,
Clare

Whole School Notice:

Tiktok
We are keen to support you in keeping your child safe online. It’s so vital that children at primary school are supervised at all times when using the internet. Most of the social media platforms have an over-13 age restriction and we think this is a good thing. You may be interested to watch an informative BBC documentary about Tiktok (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000p3p9/panorama-is-tiktok-safe); we know that some of our older children do have access to this app and this programme highlights some of the reasons why this is so unsafe.

Celebration Spot
Today in assembly we launched a new feature, a Celebration Spot. We want to share with the whole school any good news from individual children. Today, we celebrated Jasper’s (6S) recent success in being selected for the Woking football main squad. A fantastic achievement! Do email Tom Everard (tome@htpd.surrey.sch.uk) with other news – musical, dramatic, sporting achievements as well as any reasons to be proud of our super girls and boys!
