Changes to Covid Regulations.
As of Monday 17th January there will be a further change to the COVID-19 isolation rules From Monday, if you are self-isolating you will have the option to reduce your isolation period to 5 FULL days. If you test negative with a lateral flow test on both day 5 and day 6 (and you do not have a temperature), you can end your isolation immediately after your day 6 test. For example, if you test negative on the morning of day 5 and the morning of day 6, you can immediately end isolation. For pupils, they would be able to return to school straight away on day 6. Please note that the first test must be taken no earlier than day 5 of the self-isolation period, and the second must be taken the following day. If the result of either of tests is positive, you should continue to self-isolate until you get negative results from two LFT tests on consecutive days or until you have completed 10 full days of self-isolation, whichever is earliest. Please contact the school office if you have any questions. Thank you.
Year 6 - Science
Year 6 are studying Light in science, and created investigations to prove that light travels in a straight line. Can you see the torchlight shining through all the holes in the cards? We discovered that the holes have to be lined up for this to occur - light doesn’t travel around corners!
Year 6 - Fire and Road Safety Visit.
Year 6 had a fantastic fire and road safety visit from the Darwen Fire Service this afternoon, and were lucky enough to get a guided tour around the fire engine afterwards!
Year 3 - Science
