Tuesday 21st April





Good morning everyone!

I hope you are all well and staying safe (and sane!) at home.  

As you know, there is not yet any proposed date for us to return to school, so with that in mind, the Department of Education has provided some guidance for parents and carers seeking to support their children with learning at home.  You can read the details for primary children here.  There are some further links and suggested activities on that page, which you could choose to follow alongside the work set by school.  

From our point of view, the most vitally important thing is that you and your families stay safe and well - managing to complete school work on top of that is something of a bonus, especially since so many of you will be juggling your own home working responsibilities alongside supervising the children.  It is, however, really important for the children to try and read every day, and hopefully many will choose to do so independently, just for their own enjoyment.  

If you are running out of reading material, have a look at Libraries Connected which provides information about a number of different free reading resources for all ages.  Audiobooks are also a great way of enjoying different stories - don't forget that the website Audible has numerous free audiobooks for children to listen to, and that author David Walliams is continuing with his daily story podcast at 11.00 every day (although you can access it at any time).

Take care and look after each other,

Kind regards

Mrs Vaqueiro
