Chorley Council contact numbers For any family who may be struggling financially over the Easter holidays, the council have sent us the attached list of addresses for food provision and support. Easter Break It has been lovely having the children all back together for these last three weeks. It may not have been for long, but this time has been so important. They have all settled back so well, so hopefully they will all be happy to return after the Easter break. They have been having lots of fun so I know that remembering this will be important. The fun will continue in the summer term too! IMPORTANT - Symptoms, COVID Testing and Possible Isolation Periods I still need to check on symptoms and possible positive cases for the first part of the Easter holidays. Please remember to let me know directly by emailing me on [email protected] if your child develops COVID-19 symptoms over the weekend, by 5:30pm on Sunday. Should the outcome of this be a positive result then I may need to get in touch with families. Although it won’t impact on school life it may result in your child needing to isolate up to 10 days. Thank you for your support. And Finally…. We have TWO jokes this week: Thank you to Daniel Everitt from Year 1 for our first joke: Q. Why was 6 afraid of 7? A. Because 7-8-9! Thank you Daniel, a great joke! Thanks you also to ALL of Reception for their joke: Q. What kind of key opens a banana? A. A monkey! Brilliant Reception, thank you! Remember to send your jokes in to me! Wishing you all a lovely Easter break. Take care, Mr Nick Ward, Headteacher In our Christian family, we all SHINE in the light of Jesus.
