Have a wonderful half term!

Well done to everyone for a whole half term of live lessons incorporated within your home schooling. This half term has illustrated the boys’ resilience and various other ‘learning powers’.

In preparation for if/when you may be returning to School, please see the image below of the stationery pot shown during this mornings registration. This pot may also come in handy for use at home. Suggestions for this are gardening pots, yoghurt pots, other pots or a recycled plastic cup. Please decorate your pot however you would like!

Here are a selection of pictures from this week:

A terrific week of home learning- well done everyone!

Your hats and hair looked great during show and tell today!

Well done to everyone for another week of home schooling and live lessons. The boys (and grown ups!) are showing the ‘Learning Power’ of ‘resilience’ like ‘Terry the Tortoise’ by adapting to new challenges and a new way of working. There has been lots of independent learning and numerous skills involved.
