A message from the Co-Heads of School…

Our second week of learning takes us to letter B of the alphabet!  Children at home and at school have had a very busy week. Activities beginning with the letter B have ranged from: baking biscuits, banana buns, boogying, balancing, taking part in bug hunts and (Spanish) bear hunts, playing badminton, basketball, bowling and board games – our children certainly haven’t been bored this week!

Children learning at home have completed similar activities and have been posting their work on Seesaw for all their peers to see. Google Classroom has also seen many children working hard to complete tasks – children have particularly enjoyed the PE challenges and comments between peers on each others work have been very positive and supportive. Well done everyone!
