Weekly Update

 

We hope you are remaining well and are still staying positive during the second week of lockdown.

 

It was nice to see you all last week when collecting your homework packs. If your child is getting through their work quickly and you need ideas to keep them going,  please keep checking the school website and our twitter feed for more ideas (see links below). Please keep sending your lovely tweets of the children working hard at home.

Ensure you keep following the governments advice and stay at home to keep yourselves safe:

Stay at home

• Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home)
• If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times
• Wash your hands as soon as you get home

Do not meet others, even friends or family. You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.

 

If you need anything to keep the children occupied in the meantime, please see the list of resources below:
