Latest Information On School Closures

4th January 2021M Hanratty

Dear Parents

As I am sure you will have heard, the Prime Minister announced a National Lockdown which includes the closure of Primary Schools to everyone apart from Key workers and Vulnerable children.

Due to the late timing of this announcement, I have decided that Marsden Primary School will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 5th January 2021) to ALL pupils. This is to allow time for us to collate the information of Key workers, Vulnerable children and to organise the provision that will be in place in school. Please can I ask that you have a look at the updated link below detailing the current Key Worker list:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision

Tomorrow morning I will send out a questionnaire for you to complete to let us know if you are a key worker and if you would like your child to attend school. Once I have this information, i will provide a booking form which will be the same as the one we used in 2020, to allow us to know how many children will be in school each day.

For those children who will not be coming to school, remote learning will be provided. Again due to the timing of this announcement, there will be a shorter form of learning for the rest of this week which will be available by the end of tomorrow, with the higher quality remote learning from next Monday. The children have made so much progress during the Autumn Term and I appreciate how difficult home learning is, but hopefully we can support each other in the next half term.

Please be patient tomorrow and I will be in touch as soon as possible,

Kind regards

Mrs Caroline marshall

Muscle Making!

16th December 2020L Carr

This week in Year 3 we have been learning about different muscles in the human body. We learnt how muscles are attached to the bones in our bodies and what they are made of. Using a set of instructions, we worked together to build a muscle and showed how the muscles work as a team, contracting and relaxing.

Y3 Christmas Party Fun!

11th December 2020L Carr

What a day! Year 3 have enjoyed every minute of their Christmas party. They have played many party games and danced their socks off! The best part of the day was a special visit from Santa, who secretly dropped a sack of presents off with the help of his cheeky elf.

 

Year 5 Christmas Fun!

9th December 2020S Hume

Year 5 continued the Marsden Christmas fun today and enjoyed their party day at school. All the children looked so smart and took part in a Christmas quiz and special taskmaster in class this morning. Then after lunch we played party games and ate party food in the hall. It was great!

Year 6 Party

8th December 2020L Watson

This year has been different in so many ways but one tradition that could not be missed was our Christmas party! We did miss the company of our Y5 friends but made up for it by having a party day instead of just an afternoon! Everybody had great fun!

Christingle

3rd December 2020S Stothard

Today was our annual Christingle Service and although it was a bit different to normal we had a lovely afternoon. We made Christingles, sang hymns and lit our Christingles whilst thinking about those less fortunate than us.
