Welcome Back!

Happy New Year to You All

We hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break with your children? We, here in school, have all agreed it was an unusual Christmas and, for most of us, it was a very quiet time. Hope you all kept safe & warm, enjoying the time with your household. In my house, we learnt how to play Othello all over again, and still, my daughter beat me every time!

Please stay safe

We understand how frustrating life is at the moment, we all miss our extended families, grandparents and siblings, but, please can we ask that you remain vigilant and safe whilst we all work together, through the pandemic? The Government will be providing more details about how we all proceed over the coming weeks, we will, of course, keep you up to date with any information we receive as soon as we have it.

Google Classroom

For the children that are working from home, the teachers have all set up a Google Classroom for daily lessons. If your child has not yet logged onto the classroom, or you are having problems getting onto it, please do call or email us.

Bubbles Return

The start of the new term has not been what we were hoping for with the reintroduction of school class Bubbles and home learning. Please be assured that every member of staff in school is determined to make sure every child feels safe whilst here in school. For those working at home, the teachers are viewing their school work and checking in with them daily. This is a very difficult time for us all, please do contact us if you are struggling with any part of home learning, or indeed, any other school related problems you have.

2nd Choice School Dinners

Can we ask for those in school, if your child wants the 2nd option school dinner, please sign up in the usual way, on the website under the Parents tab. Mrs Beeton is in school each day, providing a hot meal for children who need one.

Theatre of Widdershins

Sadly, at this time, we cannot have the Theatre of Widdershins here in school, for their show, The Gingerbread Man & the Pot full of Magic. We can confirm, the show has been postponed, NOT cancelled. We will have the theatre group in school, as soon as we are able to.

We would be sad if the children had to miss out on this amazing show, so, fingers crossed, we will see the magical puppets again soon!

Ben Blowes: Marathon Runner: Over £150,000 raised

Mr Blowes, you are an amazing man! He has completed his 31 marathons, in the 31 days of December, even with an injury, he still finished on time. He has now raised over £150,000 and the donations are still coming in. Well done Ben!

Moulton Cook Book

The fabulous Moulton cookbook, is still available, but the remaining copies are selling fast! Please do let the office know if you would like a copy and send the £10.00 in with your child. Cash or cheque (made payable to Moulton Primary PTA) will be accepted.

Reception 2021 Applications

Please remember, if you have a child that will be due to start in the Reception year this September, your online application needs to be input by 15th January 2021. Late submissions can take further weeks to deal with and you may not be offerred your preferred school. Please check the Suffolk County Council website for further details.

Collecting Work Books

All teachers have provided exercise books for the children working from home, to use. If your child needs a new book, please pop into the school office to collect one. Please make sure you have a facemask on. Thank you.

Stamps for Kidney Care UK

In the school lobby, there will be a box, for any used stamps you may have. These are collected and sent to the Kidney Care Uk charity to help raise funds for Kidney Care. If you have any from Christmas cards you receive, please send them in with your child for the box. A 1kg of used stamps generates £20 for the charity. Thank you

Extra PE lessons on Mondays

We are still expecting the children that are in school, to participate in the extra PE lessons each Monday. Please keep the details of when your children have their extra PE lessons, to hand at home. Thank you.
