Dear parents and carers,
Here we are at the end of another very busy week! I hope you’re all well, thank you for trying your best and supporting the children with their learning. We know it’s difficult and we appreciate all of your efforts.
You may have seen in the media today that there was an announcement which mentioned schools possibly beginning a phased return from the 22nd February. This information had not been shared with schools prior to the announcement and we have been given no detail around what this will look like for schools. As soon as I have any more information about what this means for us all, I will let you know.
Have a good weekend everyone, take care and stay safe.
Mrs Wangiel

Class Dojo Portolios
Thank you to everyone who has been using the portfolio section of Class Dojo to upload videos and pictures of the children’s work or activities at home. Portfolios are the best way of sharing pictures or videos because all staff linked to the class can see them, including myself. It’s a joy to see the children’s work but also to see the other fun activities they have been doing!
Please see the instructions at the link below for guidance on how to do this:
