The pupils who are still attending school have now completed the artwork on the wall in the playground! Thanks to you all – it looks great! I am sure you will agree that it certainly brightens up that area!

Creative Work at School
Whilst enjoying the weather, we have decided to brighten up a corner of the playground by using chalks to create a pattern – we used masking tape to create a geometric pattern and coloured each section during the morning!
I am sure that you will agree it looks fantastic!
Advice for Pupils: Newsround – How to be ‘Boss’ Being Stuck at Home!
Newsround – which we use daily at school as a source for news and discussion – has produced a guide to staying at home…and how to do it well!
It is definitely useful for parents AND children!
Volcanoes!
This afternoon, the children at school made volcanoes using plasticine.
Easter Cards
Today at school we made Easter cards as part of our learning activities.
Rainbows of Hope
Today the children in school have been painting rainbows to display in the hall windows as a symbol of hope (one of our school values) for everyone in our community.
Free Audiobooks!
Whilst school is closed, Audible are offering children the chance to listen to some FREE books! There is a wide range available at https://stories.audible.com/start-listen
Listen to the stories with your child, ask them questions about the character or plot (to check they are listening carefully!) and, most of all, enjoy them!
Our School Closure Prayer
A daily prayer for you to share while we are closed.
Dear Lord,
The world feels a strange place right now.
Our classrooms are empty and it is hard to play with our friends.
At this time, please look after my friends, my family and the people in our community who live on their own.
Help us to remember that you are always there and that one day this will pass.
Amen
