Hi there, lovely Year 6 and families.

Just a quick post to say that I hope you have had a healthy, happy Easter. The weather has generally been really lovely and, at times when I have been feeling a little glum (generally related to missing my poor son, Ted, stuck in Spain), I try to remind myself that things could be so very much worse.

I wanted to let parents know that I have noticed a couple of offers near to where I live where people who have large gardens (and even woodland etc) have offered safe time (whole days, I believe) to play there for families who do not have a garden or safe outside space. Please do contact me if you would like me to pass on these details. It just seemed like a really lovely idea and I thought I would let you know in case you could do with a bit of time outside with your children where you could feel safe. The people making the offers say the gardens/woods would be totally yours to enjoy and there would be no interaction with them other than maybe a wave hello from a safe distance when you arrive. Anyway, have a think and let me know if you would like me to pass on the details.

Monday’s work will appear overnight on the blog. I am going to be in school on Monday morning (and part of the afternoon) so, if you KNOW you need something such as paper etc, please let me know in good time and I will leave some outside the front door for you.
