Dear Parent / Carer,

Well, we are now into week 2 of our school closure and I hope that you & your families are all safe and well. These are difficult times but we will get through it!

Thank you for all the work that you are doing with your children. I know that teachers are loving the emails being sent to them and the work that has been put onto Tapestry in Early Years. The children have all had their class packs of work and there are daily activities being put onto the class pages of our school website www.lumbertubs.co.uk There are also lots of other ideas in the Websites for all ages section. Keep up the good work.

However, this is also an opportunity to spend time with your family. You will probably never get this time again just to enjoy being with your children. The world could be a very different place when this is all over and we should all treasure the time that we have together, even if it has been forced upon us. So please don’t worry if your child doesn’t complete all their maths and English activities every day; they will learn a lot by just being with you and spending time together. Don’t feel guilty that your child is having fun instead of doing English and maths activities. Play games together, cook together, play outside (where possible), go for a walk together and look at the trees and flowers and the world, read together and please, please talk to your children. They are amazing and have so much to say!!!

If you are stuck for things to do or you don’t have access to the internet, we are sending another parent mail with lots of activities that don’t require any technology. Use the time to get your children to read, read, read!!! Any reading is good reading!

Please look after yourselves, follow the government guidance to stay home where possible and stay safe. We miss your children already and can’t wait until we are all back at school ready to continue their journey at Lumbertubs.

Yours sincerely

Ceri

Important information regarding school closure

Thu 19 Mar 2020

Dear Lumbertubs Parents/Carers,

Following the government’s announcement that schools will close as of Friday 20th March, we have no choice but to close Lumbertubs Primary School and Nursery. We are currently in the process of making plans to ensure that children of Key Workers and vulnerable children are still able to access our school, so that parents working in specific jobs can still go to work as advised and our vulnerable children are as safe as possible.

In order for us to do this, if you fall into one of the Key Worker categories and you will need your child to still come to school, YOU MUST CONTACT US no later than 12.00 on Thursday 19^th March. You can do this via email, phone or text. Please be specific of the Key Worker job and if your child will be attending school.

Email : head@lumbertubs.northants-ecl.gov.uk

Call : 01604 408147

Text : 07948 072485

It is vital that we have this information to enable us to ensure that staff are in place to meet this need.

We do not have all the answers on how this will work yet but we will keep you up-to-date throughout today and tomorrow with what the next steps are for our school.

As previously stated all children, if they haven’t received them already, will have home learning packs by Friday so that they can continue school work while at home. There will be work added each day by teachers to each individual class page on our school website and children will be able to access the online learning portals at home. https://www.lumbertubs.co.uk/class-pages/

Please be assured that we will be doing everything possible to support our families and staff. Please keep an eye out for Parent Mail emails and on our school website for all of the latest updates.

I would like to thank you once again for your continued support at this time.

Kind regards,

Mrs Cook
