Welcome Back!

Welcome back to the Spring Term. First of all, we would like to say that we hope our Newsletter finds you, your family and your friends safe and well. Secondly, we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you. We understand and appreciate your continued efforts with remote learning. It is incredibly important that every child continues their education at home.

We are here to work with you and support you and your children, as we always are. If there is anything we can do to support you with remote learning please do contact us.

All the very best this year from: Mr Harvey, Mr Gibbons, Miss Nair, Mr Cartwright and Mrs Evans.

Physical and Mental Wellbeing

During your time at home it is important to keep

active and busy. Within the government guidance

please go for walks outside or play in the garden

for exercise. Exercise helps to keep a healthy

body and healthy mind.

Our school YouTube channel has a range of

videos for various learning or opportunities for you

to access linked to physical and mental wellbeing.

Miss Kahlon has given you ten challenges to try

which are in our Files area in Microsoft Teams.

These challenges will help boost your positive

mindset!
