Important Letter to Parents

Letter to parents 4th June

Thursday 4 th June , 2020

Dear Parents/ Carers,

Firstly, I hope this letter find all our pupils and families safe and well. Half term was not what we usually experience this year but at least we were blessed with fabulous weather.

You will have been hearing and reading lots of information in the media regarding the possible re-opening of schools across England. I just wanted to clarify Monksdown’s position and reassure you that the safety of our pupils, families and staff will always be my first priority.

Currently, our school is open for children whose parents are key workers or classed as vulnerable. For all other pupils, teachers will continue to provide Home Learning Activities on Seesaw, Purple Mash plus additional work on the school website.

The Local Authority have been clear that no other pupils should return to school before Monday 15 th June, 2020 at the very earliest. Liverpool Schools are expecting a central review conducted by Liverpool City Council on Monday 8 th June, 2020 evaluating whether or not any children in the identified year groups should return to school.

I have been continually working closely with Governors, Staff, Unions and Liverpool Authority to ensure thorough risk assessments are in place and only when I am completely satisfied that all measures are secure and safe will I consider implementing Phase One of the plan which would be to invite Year six pupils back to school.

I will communicate any further plans and updates as and when I receive them.

Take care and stay safe.

Mrs Price

HeadTeacher

A Rocktastic HELLO from everyone at Times Tables Rock Stars HQ!!!

Have you got what it takes to become a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title holder?

We are inviting you to attempt a Guinness World Records title by answering as many times tables questions correctly as you can in one minute.

Guinness World Records has created a new title – Highest score achieved on ‘Times Tables Rock Stars’ in one minute – and we are looking for players to aim for this special accolade.

HOW DO I TAKE PART?

It’s simple: get a world-beating score in a Studio game, make sure it’s captured in a video and send a link to that video to support@mathscircle.com by the end of Thursday 4th June (11:59pm GMT).

Here are the requirements:The attempt must take place in a Studio game.

The attempt may take place on any of the following compatible devices:
- Desktop computer
- Laptop computer
- Tablet
- Phone
The video must adhere to the following:
- Show the player clearly playing, i.e. hand(s) physically entering numbers on the input device.
- Show the back of the player’s head or profile to see roughly who they are (just the person’s arm and screen isn’t enough, for example).
- Show the score and timer clearly.
- Show the start and end of the game, including a clear shot of the end of game score screen.
- Be filmed in one take and unedited. No filters, effects, overlays, backing music are allowed. Turn your phone/table/computer on mute.

Art Competition

Due to our current situation, a lot of what we are seeing is through an open or closed window. Lots of incredible artists have created wonderful pieces of artwork from this perspective and it was made widely popular by the Romantic Artists in the nineteenth century.

I want you to imagine that your window is a picture frame, carefully framing your surroundings. What shapes can you see?

What colours are there?

Are there people in your frame?

Is there anything of interest in your frame?

What is the lighting like in your frame?

I am challenging all children, parents and teachers of Monksdown to create a piece of art entitled “A Room with a View”. You may use any medium that you wish. It can be a sketch, painting, drawing, collage, print, 3D sculpture, a photograph that you have developed further, anything you may have in your home.

After I have collated all of the artwork, we will be creating a “Virtual Art Gallery” over on our school website www.monksdownprimary.co.uk to celebrate your work. Please email all finished pieces to me at spalvierimonks12@gmail.com, or alternatively tweet them to me either at @MissSpalvieri92 or @MonksdownSchool. Deadline is Friday 29th May. Looking forward to seeing your finished pieces.
