Last week of Remote Learning!!

So after six weeks of remote teaching and learning, we finally heard the news that our doors will be reopening once again on Monday 1st March. We are delighted to welcome back all our students and see their happy smiling faces in person. 

We must however remain vigilant and remember that Covid-19 is still very much prevalent in our community and therefore we must ensure we continue good hygiene practices and social distance. Ms Whelan sent all families important information via Aladdin regarding the safe reopening of our school. Please read this information carefully and adhere to all the guidelines. In doing so, we hopefully will not have to return to remote teaching and learning ever again.

We would like to thank all the parents for all your hard work helping your child with their learning through school closures. You really have done a magnificent job and as for the children themselves, well, you have all been fantastic. We have loved receiving your photos and videos from home. Here are some of those photos and videos of the great work happening this week.

First Signs of Spring

Winter is over and the Spring is finally here. The girls and boys have been exploring nature and finding the first signs of Spring in their gardens and surrounding areas. They found daffodils shoots, crocuses, snowdrops and buds growing on the trees. In school, the Spring bulbs that our student council planted back in Autumn are starting to grow and will be in full bloom when we return. 

Alma Jordan  (@agrimammy) author of the books "Tales from Riverside Farm" and founder of Agrikids (@agrikids)-an online and community based initiative that promotes farm life and safety among young children, very kindly donated some of her fabulous books to the children that went out exploring, looking for the first signs of Spring. Thank you so much Alma, the children were delighted with their delivery in the post.
