Posted on: 26/02/2021A Message from Mr NationI hope you all had a lovely Half Term (despite the wind and rain, the fact that we couldnât travel anywhere or visit anyone). My children were pleased to have a break from their „usualâ routine but it made me reflect on the importance of routines and the many challenges we all face in this current situation. I recall a book I once read called „Arthurâ by Mikael Lindnord. Mikael is an adventure racer who stumbled across a dog on one of his races covering 435 miles. Itâs a story about resilience, perseverance and teamwork. A story about facing huge challenges and overcoming them with grit and determination. Throughout the book, it becomes apparent that to be a professional adventure racer you need to not only embrace change, but welcome changes and adopt new routines to overcome and conquer. Establishing new routines when weâre experiencing changes beyond our control is not easy, yet so important. No matter what our circumstances have been throughout this turbulent period, we have all overcome and conquered and finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Arthur, the dog that eventually became such a dedicated companion of Mickaelâs, illustrates how we can support each other in times of need and how we can find hope and support in the most challenging of times. Everyone at school is looking forward to welcoming the children back with all of the necessary measures in place to keep staff and children as safe as we possibly can. I know this remains an anxious time for all of us but you know weâre all here to support each other in the best interests of your wonderful children. More information will follow about the return of all primary school children from 8th March 2021.Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
Posted on: 25/02/2021Buckland St Mary C of E Primary School looks forward to fully opening from 08 March 2021Buckland St Mary C of E Primary are delighted to welcome back all pupils from 08 March. It will have been a long eight weeks for many. We have missed our pupils that have been homeschooled during this recent lockdown but there is light at the end of the tunnel. The recent government announcement to include all schools to fully open and the planned 'roadmap' to ease restrictions and ease us all out of lockdown has been very welcomed news. We can now start to plan and resume a route back to a more normal way of life. Until then stay safe and carry on learning!Categories: 1 CategorySchool News
