Share some photos with each other
Do you have some photos of yourself as a child?
These days we take lots of photos but often only look at them when they are being taken. Take some time to share some old photos with your family – last month’s pictures can often provide as much to talk about and enjoy as those from years ago.
Lego Fun
With your child make Lego versions of yourselves as superheroes – choose your powers, share them and enjoy them. There are adventures waiting to be made!

We will continue to update the website each week and you can look to the class pages or the ‘Other Fun Activities’ sections for ideas. Do let us know if you want more, or different, from the suggestions that we have made.

WELCOME BACK TO A NEW HALF TERM!

We hope that you are all safe and well, that you had a relaxing half term and enjoyed the wonderful weather.

As in-school provision moves forward this half term be assured that we will be continuing to update the website with activities for your children to get involved in. We continue to be delighted to hear from you, finding out about how you are spending your time and what you have chosen to ‘get involved with’ from the website, either from class pages or the ‘Other Fun Activities’ section. Do let us know if you want more, or different, from the suggestions that we have made.

Our school team will continue to get in touch by telephone, especially where your children are not in year groups that we are able to welcome into school yet. The purpose of the call is simply to say ‘hello’ to you and your children – these calls bring us an enormous amount of pleasure, and we hope that they allow you and your child too continue to feel ‘connected’ with us. We love hearing about whatever it us you are getting up to and are really grateful for the time you give us when we get in touch.

In spite of the lovely weather, which has changed a bit today (!), we recognise that it continues to be a complicated and stressful time – you are certainly not alone in feeling this so do get in contact with us in the usual way if you want to talk anything through.
