First Week of Y5/6

It is so great to be back at school and working face to face again. We have a brand new classroom in a purpose built building. The class are doing really well at remembering social distancing and sanitising their hands regularly. I am also amazed at how well the children are coping with wearing masks or shields for extended periods of time.

Here we are in a socially distanced picture wearing our masks and visors

Each child has their own stationery pot and place to work. Tables have screen dividers for for extra safety

Tables are placed safely apart

Learning in our socially distanced classroom

Face coverings at all times, even when reading!
