It feels like a long time in the making but I can hardly believe this chapter has come to an end. I am beyond excited to have the children back on Monday. Next week will be dedicated to settling the children back into school life and reuniting with their friends. I have planned a wonderful week of learning, with love and compassion at the heart of it. I know that Monday will be a big shock for the children but I want to reassure you that it will be a gentle transition back into school life and that they will be given lots of emotional and social support. Please bear with us during the first week; we will get the children’s reading books changed once we have assessed their reading and Read Write Inc. will commence the week after.
To all the parents and carers who have supported the children at home…thank you. I know it has not been easy but you have gone over and above to keep the magic of learning alive and the children’s work has been incredible. You have all been brilliant at keeping in touch and letting me know how your child has been getting on. These updates have been so helpful and very much appreciated. You all deserve a medal and I am in awe of you all!
On Monday we will be having the grand opening of our new outdoor classroom. The timing of this wonderful space could not be better…Spring has certainly sprung and as we all know, fresh air is important to keep us all safe. The outdoor classroom is fully equipped with a whiteboard and will be used to teach outside as much as possible. However, until our beautiful Acer trees fill with leaves, there is minimal shade. Please can you ensure that on sunny days your child arrives at school wearing sun-cream and wearing a sun hat to protect their head and neck. Thank you so much and please pray for sunshine for our grand opening!
Hip-Hip-Hooray!
