What is this?
Find ideas, hints and tips for parents and carers, including activities that children can do on their own or families can do together.
In these uncertain times, parents, carers and families are under a lot of pressure, especially in supporting children to continue to learn. No-one expects parents and carers to take the place of teachers.
This weekly newsletter has ideas, hints and tips for parents and carers, including activities that children can do on their own at home or families can do together.
These activities are intended to complement the activities provided by your school and help your child have a broad range of learning experiences during the school closures. Follow this link to subscribe to the Parents and Carers newsletter.
Next half term we will be welcoming parents and carers once again to come into class and share in their child’s learning. We hope to focus on some literacy activities for this session.
This will take place on Friday 6th March at 11.30am
You will have an opportunity to explore and join in with some teacher-led and independent learning activities within the classroom. You will be asked to return to the playground as normal at home-time to assist us to dismiss the children safely.
