It has been a strange few days and it's sad not to be back at school with you today. I missed you over the holidays and was looking forward to finding out what you had all been getting up to. Our home learning this term is going to look a bit different to last lockdown. We are going to be using Google Classrooms every day to have live lessons. This means we will be able to see each other and you will be able to ask questions about your work and other things like that. You will be expected to complete your work every day just like in school and you will be expected to join in all the live lessons. You will also be invited to join some other small groups in the afternoons. You will be receiving an email on Wednesday to remind you of your Google log in and to tell you what your timetable is for each day. I'm really looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, even if it is on a screen! Happy New Year! Ruth |
