Student-student relationships:
Good that the year started in class, especially for Y1 who now know all of the children. May take longer to build relationships with each other. It's harder for students to practise social skills online, and they have found it difficult for impromptu play etc

St <> Teacher quite respectful, supportive and caring. Students trust us to make mistakes which can be valuable

St < > in general students take care of each other, supportive in and out of the classroom. They trust each other in general Of course there are outliers from time to time.

Parent < > Student - high expectations, but there is increased awareness of parental pressure. The need to balance expectations with wellbeing and understanding of student competencies.

Pandemic makes it harder to connect with parents. Ts were excited to see parents and parents have been grateful for oppotunities to connect

Musing: How have parent child relationships evolved due to online learning?
