Update Friday 5th February 2021

Hi Everyone,

 
I hope you are all well. It was really lovely to see the sun today, I'd almost forgotten what that was like! 🔆 I think we are expecting it to be colder on Sunday with the potential of snow. We're not expecting it to be too bad at the moment so will be open as usual. If this changes we'll let you know in the normal way. I'm hoping it will be less icy this time so the children have a chance to properly play out in it. Don't forget to wear something warm! ⛄
 
Google Classroom
Thank you all for your patience and perseverance this week... it's definitely been interesting and also really encouraging. We are already up 30% with pupil engagement for online learning which is amazing. We'll continue to think of ways to improve the experience. Don't forget to let us know how we can help. Miss Hook is becoming quite an expert! 
 
Reminder: home learning will be set entirely on Google classroom next week so we will not be using the Show My Homework platform.
 
Mental Health Awareness
I heard on the radio this week that 20 mins of natural light first thing in the morning helps to set the 'body clock', making it easier to fall asleep in the evening. I found this quite intriguing as I often feel better after an early morning walk. If you try it - let me know what you think.
 
We hope you all have a relaxing weekend.
 
Stay safe,
