Article 28:
29 T H J AN UA RY 20 21
Every child has the right to education.
Dear Parents and Carers,
We have made it to the end of January!
I would like to say a heartfelt well done to all the children and parents at Em-
manuel at this difficult time. Our pupils have shown great dedication and resil-
ience logging into Google Classroom for their learning every day and they con-
tinue to make all the staff at Emmanuel very proud. And thank you to our par-
ents for all you are doing to support your child/ren; I know many of you are
facing great challenges at the moment but we really appreciate the patience
and perseverance you have shown. Thank you too for all the lovely feedback
we received via the phone calls that members of staff made this week; your
words of encouragement mean a great deal and I feel very proud that our AS-
PIRE values are so clearly evident in our community!
BIBLE VERSE I hope your child enjoyed their regular ‘Google Meets’ this week. Please be
assured that we will continue to reflect and improve upon our remote learning

REMOTE LEARNING UPDATE: SCHOOL RE-OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT
SPELLING FRAME
You will have seen in the news the government announcement that it will not
be possible to resume face-to-face learning immediately after the February half
-term and instead, the government hopes it will be safe to commence the re-
opening of schools from Monday 8th March; subject to the success of the roll-
out of the vaccination programme. I am afraid I have no further information
but I will of course keep you updated. Emmanuel will remain open to vulnera-
ble children and the children of critical workers after February half-term, as we

Thanks to your fundraising and the
support of the PFE, we are introduc-
ing this new resource to support pu-
pils with their spelling skills from
Monday 1st February. Do look out
for a letter with your child's login
details!
SOMETHING WILD IN EYFS...
This week, EYFS have been reading
the book 'Polar Bear Polar Bear What
Do You Hear?' By Bill Martin Jr and
Eric Carl. On Thursday's class meet,
they celebrated all their learning by
dressing as animals, sharing facts
they had learnt and doing a big ani-
mal quiz!
FREE SCHOOL MEALS DURING HALF-TERM
During half-term week, those families
whose children are eligible for free school
meals will not be provided with vouchers,
but instead, the government has said they
will be supported through the Covid Win-
ter Grant Scheme.
RECEPTION APPLICATIONS 2021
Further to previous communication, par-
ents and carers of children currently in the
Nursery should have submitted their appli-
cation for a Reception place directly to the
Local Authority by the deadline of 15 Janu-
ary. If you are yet to submit your applica-
tion, you can still do so but this will now be
classed as a late application.

COVID-19 SYMPTOMS & ACTIONS
Please do not send your child to school if they or a member of your household has symptoms of Covid-19. There are cur-
rently three main symptoms to be aware of:
a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your tempera-
ture). However, a temperature 38C or above is normally considered to be high
a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if
you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things
smell or taste different to normal
If your child or anyone in your household shows signs of any of these symptoms, please stay at home and organise a test
for the person with symptoms immediately.
https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test
Please inform the school at covid@emmanuel.camden.sch.uk that a test is being taken and again when the result is known
so we can carry out contact tracing. Thank you.
Please be aware that if a child or member of staff tests positive for Covid-19 during the school closure, the ‘bubble’ they
are in will burst and all the children and staff will be sent home to self-isolate for 10 days.
Exercise Books If your child needs another lined exercise book or a maths exercise book, you can collect it from school. Please ring the buzzer any weekday morning between 9am and 12pm and collect the book from the table in the porch area.
