The summer term is here!
A warm welcome back to all of our swans, whether that be in school or at home.
Over the last week, and this week, the school has opened up to more pupils in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6. We have also welcomed more children into our 'Key worker family' group.
We are now finding our feet, working in new 'bubbles' and the teachers have been very busy planning 'in-school' and 'at-home' lessons so that we can all share the exciting learning opportunities.
Please bear with us as we move into a new phase of home-and-school learning.
In the meantime, please continue to use the BBC bitesize online learning and Purple Mash.
We look forward to working all together again soon.

The question is... How important is it to have a routine?
The week beginning 25th May is half term, so Mrs Ellerby and Mrs McLeary thought you might like to try out some of these activities:
- Build a den, then snuggle up with a reading book inside;
- Try baking or cooking something tasty;
- Pick a skill to learn or improve at e.g. riding a bike, throwing and catching a ball, sewing etc.
- Play a board game or design, make and play your own board game;
- Go on a scavenger hunt - this five senses one is fun.
Resources and Activities for week beginning 14th May, which stand alone, but also supplement BBC Bitesize, set by Mrs Ellerby and Mrs McLeary.
