Saturday 12th September - Message from Mr Gray:
Dear Year 4 Parents/ Guardians,
We have just been informed that a Year 4 child who was in school on Friday has 2 of the COVID-19 symptoms. The problems with the testing system mean that the family have been unable to access a test to be certain, however it looks very likely. I have taken the decision to close to Year 4 until we know for certain. For the time being, please self isolate. Tomorrow morning, we will provide a home testing kit to the family with the hope we will have a result by Tuesday. If the result is negative and no one else develops symptoms, we will re-open straightaway. If the result is positive, your child will need to carry on isolating until Friday 25th September.
Household members (and siblings) of a child who is sent home do not need to self-isolate themselves unless the child who is self-isolating subsequently develops symptoms. If someone in the class that has been asked to self-isolate develops symptoms themselves within their 14-day isolation period they should follow guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. They should get a test, and:

Whilst your child is self-isolating at home, please check the school website, where Mrs Southworth, Mrs Steele and Mrs Ahmed will be posting learning activities.
We are genuinely disappointed to have had to make this decision tonight, however the rate of transmission in Moseley is very high. When or if further information becomes available school will inform parents as soon as possible but we will keep in touch with everyone regularly by email.
Kind regards
Mr Gray

If someone in the class that has been asked to self-isolate develops symptoms themselves within their 14-day isolation period they should follow guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. They should get a test, and:
- if the test delivers a negative result, they must remain in isolation for the remainder of the 14-day isolation period. This is because they could still develop the coronavirus (COVID-19) within the remaining days.
- if the test result is positive, they should inform their school immediately, and should isolate for at least 10 days from the onset of their symptoms (which could mean the self-isolation ends before or after the original 14-day isolation period). Their household should self-isolate for at least 14 days from when the symptomatic person first had symptoms, following guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection.

Dear Year 4 Parents and Carers,
We have really enjoyed meeting your children again. It was great to find out about how they have been getting on during the last few months and spending time with them reflecting on their experiences away from school.
We have really enjoyed meeting your children again. It was great to find out about how they have been getting on during the last few months and spending time with them reflecting on their experiences away from school.
This half term, we will be focusing on helping them to settle into school and to become familiar with new and old routines. We want all the children to feel safe and happy at school.
We will be communicating with you through email and BGfL. We will put anything new on BGfL on Fridays. This will include messages about what is happening in Year 4 and homework other than maths homework.
This year, PE will be on a Wednesday. Your child will need to wear to school, a t shirt, joggers or leggings, trainers and a jumper. They will not need to come in school uniform on this day.
Please contact us via the school office if you have any questions or concerns.
Best wishes
The Year 4 Team
