Year 4 - The Great British Grind Off!
Wed 15 Sep 2021Year 4 took their work to the floor to learning about the different teeth in their mouths having different jobs. Using Lego as molars and pieces of rocks as incisors and canines, some children had the chance to re-enact the movement of the teeth, grinding and chomping bits of apple!

New School Website and App
Mon 13 Sep 2021We are excited to share with you that we have launched our new school website, which you can see by going to www.weekeprimary.com. We will be continuing to develop the website to keep parents and carers abreast of important information, but also more relevant updates about what your child is learning throughout the day. As part of this upgrade, we now have a smartphone app to enhance communication with parents and carers, which is free to download and works on Apple and Android phones. We believe it is essential to work in partnership with parents and carers and part of this is achieved by ensuring that you receive clear, relevant and regular communications.
Benefits of the app for Parents and Carers.
- The app is secure; you set up a PIN/ Touch ID to access on your phone
- The app is powered by our new school website, which means that when you download it, you will have a single place to receive and access important messages along with calendar events, newsletters, latest news and all information pages within the school website.
- You no longer need to go searching for letters at the bottom of school bags or your email mailbox.
- Messages appear in your inbox in the condition that they left school; you will receive secure individual and group messages as well as whole school notices
- We can be certain that you have received the message
To set up the App
- You may receive a text message inviting you to set up the app from SchoolApp
- Download the app as a guest user by visiting your app store and searching for “TheSchoolApp”.
- You will need to enter your mobile number which you provided at registration to confirm identity
If the app does not give you permission, it is most likely that your mobile number has changed and you have not updated us. We will continue to use the existing email system over the next term to ensure messages are not missed and will let you know when we plan to switch it off.
I do not want to download the app or do not have a smart phone - we encourage you to download our new app, however, should you not wish to or you do not have a smart phone, communication will continue to be emailed via the new system.
Please feel free to contact the school office if you need to update your contact details, or if you would like further information about this service, please get in touch with myself.

September 2021 - Return to School Information
Fri 03 Sep 2021New term 2021 Arrangements
We hope all our families have enjoyed a break over the summer and look forward to welcoming you back to school on Monday.
In terms of COVID guidelines, we ask that if your child has any COVID symptoms, he/she remains at home until a test result is received. If a result is positive, isolation guidance must be followed. All staff will continue to take twice weekly lateral flow tests.
Timings of the school day
To ease congestion on the playground and to reflect children’s slightly shorter lunchbreak, we are staggering the start and end of the day so that EYFS and KS1 children start and finish slightly earlier than KS2 children. Older siblings of children in EYFS and KS1 can continue to come in at the earlier start time. Please note, adults collecting children will no longer have to leave the playground between collecting children in different year groups. We are no longer using the red gate – parents and carers can come in and out of the main gates.
-
EYFS & KS1 start time - 8:40am
-
EYFS & KS1 end of day - 3:20pm
-
KS2 Start time - 8:50am (the gate will close by 8.55am)
-
KS2 End time - 3:30pm
Entrance & Exit areas
-
EYFS - enter the school through the right-hand side hall door, collection in front of the hall doors
-
Year 1 – enter and exit the school through the left-hand side of the school hall, collection from outside the hall
-
Year 2 – enter and exit the school through the Y1/2 door on the far left of the building, collection by the pirate ship
-
Year 3 - Enter through the right-hand side hall door, collection by the gym equipment
-
Year 4 - Enter round the back of the school, collection on to the playground by the gym equipment
-
Year 5 - enter through the Upper KS2 door and exit through same door
-
Year 6 - Enter and exit through their own external classroom doors (far right of playground)
We encourage our older children to say their goodbyes at the gate and walk in to school independently.
Lunchtimes
Lunchtimes will continue to be staggered but there will be more mixing between year groups. Eating lunch in classrooms has been popular with older children and this also enables us to have more time for PE in the hall in the afternoons.
Children in EYFS, Y1 , Y2 and Y3 will eat lunch in the hall. Children in years 4, 5 & 6 will continue to eat lunch in their classrooms.
Children in EYFS, Y1 & Y2 will play together outside and children in Y3, Y4, Y5 & Y6 will play together outside.
-
All children will be starting on week 3 on the current menu from 6th September 2021.
-
Children moving to Year 3 will now need to pay online for school dinners at £2.50 per day, unless qualifying for pupil premium.
Break times
Break times in phases rather than year groups, so Y1 and Y2 will have break together, Y3 and Y4 will have break together and Y5 and Y6 will have break together.
School Uniform
Children will be expected to come to school wearing the correct school uniform. Our uniform list is available here:
https://www.weekeprimary.com/uniform.html
PE Kit
From September 2021, we will be phasing in a change of PE tops – rather than a white T-Shirt, we will be asking children to wear a t-shirt in their house colour. However, if your child still has a white t-shirt, he/she can continue to wear this for PE until September 2022.
Children will be expected to come in to school wearing the correct PE school uniform for their PE days (starting from Monday 6th September). Different coloured hoodies, branded t-shirts and football shirts are not acceptable PE kit. Children in EYFS will be bringing their PE kit in with them to get changed in school, to support the EYFS curriculum expectations in the 1st half term.
PE days are as follows:
Year 1 - Wednesday and Thursday
Year 2 - Thursday and Friday
Year 3 - Monday and Tuesday
Year 4 - Wednesday and Friday
Year 5 - Monday and Wednesday
Year 6 - Monday and Friday
School Bags
Children are welcome to bring in small school bags to carry lunchboxes, water bottles etc. but do not need pencil cases / stationery as all items will be provided by school.
