Covid-19

This year we are using priorities from the Norwich 2040 City Vision to inform and inspire our science projects with children tackling some of the biggest issues of the day - physical and mental wellbeing, biodiversity, waste and recycling and energy - and working together to make our school and local community happier, heathier and safer.  Click to access the year team portal and follow the work of our amazing young scientists...

Welcome back to the new academic year.  It is lovely to see everyone again.

Firstly can I assure everyone that it is business as usual.  We are open with wrap around care daily.   Breakfast club runs from 8am daily (for a place email office@wensum.norfolk.sch.uk or office@nelson.norfolk.sch.uk). After school club runs until 5.45 daily (for a place email asc@wensum.norfolk.sch.uk).

In order to ensure we are Covid safe, children are in a year group pod and do not mix with children from other year groups at this time. Each pod has its own toilets and hand washing facilities and children eat lunch in their classes to reduce the risk of infection.

If we do have a positive case of COVID-19 in school, we will immediately close the pod for 14 days and provide all learning for the children on SeeSaw.  If a child needs to isolate at home, they will also be provided with learning via SeeSaw.

This term we will be Working as Scientists. Our projects have been planned to tackle strands from the Norwich 2040 City Vision. Year 3 are devising ways to promote physical and mental wellbeing. Year 4 will be developing plans to improve biodiversity. Year 5 will be tackling waste and recycling, and Year 6 are investigating sustainable energy and how we can respond to this huge issue as a school.  Seesaw remains our home learning platform.  Hugely successful during lockdown, we are now looking at how we can use it when we are in school.  Please activate your family registration to keep up to date and follow our work.
