We wanted to send a quick message to say 'thank you' to all of the parents who have engaged with the home learning this half term. We understand that it is not easy at times but it really will have such a positive impact on your child’s progress when they’re back at school, hopefully in the not too distant future. We have also really enjoyed seeing photos of lots of the children’s happy faces and of the fantastic work that they have been producing.

After half term (from June 1^st), the Year 2 home learning will continue as normal (sent by parent mail and uploaded on to the class padlet). Although this is the case, we will both be in school teaching during this time so Mrs Morgan (Kingfisher class teacher) will be responding to your emails and uploading the home learning as she will be continuing to work from home. From 1^st June, all emails can continue to be sent to our normal class email address (nightingale@st-whites.gloucs.sch.uk_) and they will be diverted so that Mrs Morgan receives them. Mrs Morgan will be happy to pass on any messages that you want to send us. 

We are looking forward to seeing some of our Year 1 pupils in school on the 1st June. For those who will be remaining at home, a list of useful websites will be sent home nearer the time. These can be used to support your child's learning. Please also remember to keep using the websites that we have signposted you to over the last few weeks. If you have any questions, or need any support with the home learning, please do email the class email address. 

We hope that this all makes sense. Thank you so much again for all of your hard work and well done to all the children for being so committed to their home learning. We hope you all have a lovely half term!

Mrs Hewitt and Mrs Conlin
