  It is hard to believe that we are entering the sixth week of lockdown. I hope that you are all staying well and getting into a pattern of home education that is working for you.
  I have kept the same information on page 3 about home learning with just some minor additions. Mrs Allcock is in school this week and will happily spend time talking your child through any maths difficulties. Please just email the school office if you would like her to give your child a call.

  Welcome back to the summer term. I know that this may mean the return of juggling your own work with that of the children and I hope that we can work together to make that as manageable as possible.

  I hope you all had a good bank holiday and hopefully the opportunity to switch off from work and enjoy the weather to some extent. I definitely read somewhere that the Easter bunny has been classified as a key worker so hopefully they were able to visit!
  My thanks to the teachers who met with me this morning to agree our plan going forwards a summary of which can be found on page 7. How Seesaw is being used is outlined in more detail in the letter that hopefully every family has received (a copy of it can be found in the Seesaw section of the website). The focus for teachers is on being in touch with families, setting work and checking Seesaw between 1 and 3pm each day alongside some curriculum development work in their own subject areas. They will also be on a rota to supervise the care we are providing for pupils in school. Going forwards, Teaching Assistants are playing a key role in school working with the children coming in and I am very grateful to them for their support with this. The office team are largely working remotely and my thanks to them for getting stuck into all the tasks that need doing as we start a new financial year as well as sorting things out such as the food vouchers going to families in receipt of free school meals.

  My thoughts have been very much with all of you over the past week. I have spoken to the teachers and so feel that I am keeping up-to-date with how our families are and it is lovely to have spoken to some of you myself.
  I know that you are working hard on so many levels to try and do the right thing for your children so the first thing to say is please do be kind to yourselves. I really want us to work together to continue with your child’s education as best we can but the most important thing is for us all to emerge from this as sane as possible! Juggling your own work if you work from home, dealing with a range of different children's needs, IT issues, concern for the health of members of the family etc all mean that you may not be able to give home education the full attention you would like to in an ideal world. As we are not in an ideal world please just do what you can!
