Posted on: 24/02/2022A Message From Mr MortonWhat a fun filled half term it has been here at Buckland St Mary C of E Primary School. As I walk around the classes each morning I am always energised by the marvellous activities and enthusiasm that permeates out of every classroom. The children are always so keen to share all of the amazing activities they are working on and the great learning they are engaged in. Ash class have taught me lots of new things about growing things from seeds, Oak class have blown me away with their technical understanding of the water cycle and river systems and Beech class have wow’d me with their geographical understanding of Costa Rica and how to dissect a plant into its component parts! It makes me wish that I was still a school child (feel free to add in a sarcastic comment under your breath here!). Our wear it wild day was a success, raising over £70 for the WWF. Thank you to Max and the whole school council for making this event possible. You all looked amazing in your animal costumes! Our children really do shine their light brightly over our community and the wider world around us. Have a well deserved and restful break and we look forward to welcoming you all back after the half term break. Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 18/02/2022School Closure Friday 18th February due to adverse weather conditionsSchool Closure due to the Potential Impact of Extreme Weather Dear parents and carers, School and Nursery will be closed tomorrow, Friday 18th February 2022, for all children. Although we would like to be open and we are mindful of the impact that school closures have on young people and parents, Somerset County Council has issued a ‘do not travel’ warning for tomorrow morning. All education leaders across the county have received an email this afternoon to advise that all schools, early years settings and colleges should close for the day due to the potential impacts of Storm Eunice. Remote education will be available through the normal routes. Please be cautious tomorrow and we wish you a restful half-term break. Yours sincerely S Morton Head of SchoolCategories: 1 CategorySchool News
