Our next two weeks of Spring/Easter learning/activities that our staff teams have planned are designed to be fun and keep our children occupied throughout the Easter period as this 'holiday' will feel very different for most as annual leaves have been cancelled for many, nobody of course can go and explore if they are off and our children will be limited in what they can do...so I hope you and your family enjoy what has been compiled. I would like to add that none of the activities set are compulsory - you do not need to insist that your children do all of the tasks outlined. They are suggestions! We hope now we are planning topics for the whole family - this will be much more manageable for families with children in different year groups. 

Just encourage your to do their children best.. and we know that you are trying your best by your family too. Reducing stress and improving your well-being is important - so take things in your stride.

 

We are enjoying the resources on the Action for Happiness website during this challenging time. Have a look here - Action for Happiness. Click the link for an enlarged version of the calendar

As today it is April 1st, have a look at the April Calendar from the website. April's calendar focuses on coping strategies and, we don't know about you, but we all need some different strategies to help us manage the challenge of being so restricted! 

The activity for today - 1st April - is definitely a good one to do right now given that seeing people for 'real' is so restricted. We'll make a list of all the people we plan to have FaceTime and Zoom calls with and begin to arrange when these will take place - keeping in touch with our friends and family is so important during times of (personal, local, national or worldwide) crisis and challenge. Who will be on your list?
