Friday 1 May 2020


First of all I would like to thank everyone who sent me kind messages about how much they liked our 'catch up’ message that we sent out to everyone. We thought it would be a good idea for the children to see our faces again so that they know we are still around. We are going to try and do more in the future so that the children can keep seeing us and do not feel that we are so far away. We are also missing the children so any pictures or work that they are completing is much appreciated.

I hope the home learning is going well. As I said last week all the children can do is their best and if they are really struggling with anything, either contact the class teacher by email or move onto something else. We are going to have to modify the curriculum whenever the children return and we can always catch up with any ‘gaps’ then. The important thing is that the children experience ‘learning’ every day so that the transition back to full time schooling will not be so much of a shock when we do return - whenever that will be.

As yet I have received no information about schools re-opening. Please do not pay too much attention to what is written in the papers about schools re-opening. For some reason journalists appear to want schools to re-open but no education body is going to let that happen until the safety of both children and staff can be guaranteed as far as possible during these challenging times.

That is all for now. Keep safe and well and let us all hope for the return of the warm weather.
