Hello parents to the last week of learning! It feels so odd to be writing the word June and there are no kids in school to celebrate these last days. Many year groups will be planning for small events this week so please pay close attention to any emails from your child’s teachers. Next week we will be collecting all books that are checked out from the school and at that time you can pick up any remaining personal items belonging to your child.
We wish you a wonderful, calm and healthy summer! Thanks for all your support of school and in these challenging times staying engaged and supportive.

Best wishes for a wonderful summer.

Perseverance! This is where we are now in the final weeks of distance learning. It takes perseverance for parents, students, and teachers to make this final push towards the end of the academic school year. Please pay close attention to emails from coordinators regarding student participation and upcoming information for the end of the term.

Library books can be returned any time as well as we will be collecting materials that need to be returned to the school. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I know it’s an easy time to turn off and we are all being pulled in many directions, so please communicate if you are feeling overwhelmed or need assistance in any area. Thanks for your support and we wish you a wonderful week.

We are now entering May and spring is all around us. The sights and sounds of spring lead us to know there is still happiness and rejuvenation around us. This may be one of the most challenging times in our personal histories and our families are showing perseverance and courage in these times.  Trying to keep students engaged can be challenging at times. Please feel free to reach out to anyone here at Windrose Academy if you need assistance, advice or even just a friendly voice. We are here to support our famillies and we will all emerge a strong community after these trying times.

As we move into another week of e-learning, we hope you and your family are finding a routine that works best for you and your circumstances. It ie helpful for children to keep some sense of normalcy and calmness in these times.

One way to help ease fears is to talk with them about what is happening in the world from a factual point of view. I found this article very helpful especially for small children.

Talking about COVID with your child

Our teachers have been working nonstop to keep your children engaged with school and learning. The whole world is experiencing events like never before so we are all in a learning mode ourselves as well. We approach each day with children at the forefront of all decisions and what is best for them at these times. Please feel free to reach out if you need support.

Have a peaceful week.

Welcome to the second week of distance learning.

There are a few reminders to make the process easier for you at home:

1) Please check your email daily and encourage KS2/3/4 to check their emails and Google Classroom as well.

2) Be in contact with your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. We want to make sure all students are connected and engaged daily in school.

3) Don’t pressure your children too much. This is a stressful time and we are all trying out best efforts to keep lessons ongoing and provide opportunities for your children daily.

Please try to maintain some positivity each day with some music, cooking, physical activity, some games and/or some reading. We look forward to seeing the students back very soon.

Patience and flexibility are the keywords these days! We have had to make adjustments to our schedules. Please remember that Thursday is a day off due to forecasted weather events. The Key Stage 1 Science Fair was a huge success this week thanks to all the teachers, co-teachers, art department, Ms. Rony and Ms. Mireille for all their support of providing an opportunity for our students to explore a specific question in science and follow steps to test and collect data. Next week we will have the Key Stage 2 science fair. These events will be in school only.

Our current school plan regarding the health and hygiene of the school was sent out to parents. This is a dynamic and ever-changing situation so please stay tuned for further updates. We appreciate your patience and support of the health protocols we have in place.

Hello Windrose Academy parents and welcome to the month of February. This is a month which will be full of events and lots of learning. FS  and KS1 will be working towards the 100th Day of School. KS2 is working towards their academic goals in all areas. KS3 and KS4 are focusing on learning and are planning for some trips as well. We are in the middle of flu season, so please be cautious about sending your child to school who is ill. Time at home will help a student heal and not spread any illnesses across the classroom.

Another fantastic week of learning and exploring last week! This week we have several wonderful events with some final friendly football matches on Sunday. Key Stage 2 will have their talent show on Thursday. There will also be a fantastic Year 3 Math day on Tuesday. Lots of fun and learning taking place. Be sure to read your child’s key stage newsletter for more details on the week.

Please remember to see the Updated tardy policy sent. We also have some families who have not updated their health information. A date will be set for this and if your child does not have updated health forms we will hold them out of class until it’s filled out. This is very important in case of any emergencies.

Welcome back to school

Jan 19,2020

January is now in full swing and lots of learning is taking place all over the school. Each stage has begun new topics to begin term 2. KS2 students are preparing for the January 30 Talent Show from 2-3 pm. We invite parents of the performers only due to space limitations. FS had a wonderful pajama themed day last Thursday with students reading and taking part in many activities indoor and outdoor.  We encourage parents to have their children to school by 8:00 am as the new lateness policy will now be in effect as of today Sunday, January 19, 2020. We also encourage parents to pick their children up promptly after school as there is no supervision after 3:20 pm. Windrose staff is involved in meetings and planning after this time.

Thank you for your support.

Welcome to another busy week at Windrose Academy. We have KS2 Talent Show auditions taking place during breaks this week. It’s amazing to see the variety of talent that students have outside of their classrooms as well as inside.

The November Numeracy Challenge has been dominating math sessions and will end today on November 24th. We are very excited to see the improvements in math using Matheltics to support mental math.  Please remember to fill out and return health forms so we can assist your child in case of illness.  There are a lot of wonderful extra-curricular activities going on at school – look for more announcements soon.

Nov 17,2019

We have a full week of learning ahead at Windrose Academy. The November Numeracy Challenge kicks off tomorrow with a strong focus on numeracy computation skills for all students registered on Mathletics. The November Numeracy Challenge will run from Monday 18th November until Sunday 24th November (1 week). We are challenging you to earn as many participation points as you can. The first placed school will be the school with the highest average total of participation points. This will be calculated by taking the total number of participation points divided by the total number of registered students in the school. Students are beginning learning their parts for their Winter Concert and show.

There are also talent show sign ups for KS2 and KS3 out as well. The KS1 talent show will be in the spring. Come and see the new playground painting which allows for some movement and balance practice for KS1 and FS2. The chalkboard wall is ready and kids have been doing some amazing artwork on it. Please remember the winter uniform policy, but it’s still warm in the afternoon so layers are the best.
