Letter to the children at Joseph Hood,20th April 2020

To all the children at Joseph Hood

Good afternoon to you, Mrs Saville here! Today would normally have been the first day of the summer term and we would have been welcoming you all back to school this morning. Instead school is still closed and we have to continue with our home learning.

I hope you are all well and have been enjoying the lovely weather over the last two weeks and I am sure many of you enjoyed some chocolate Easter Eggs.

As we start the Summer Term, I wanted to remind you about your learning tasks over the next two weeks. If you are in Early Years or Key Stage One, your home learning tasks are on our school website. If you are in Key Stage Two, you can access your home learning via the Google classrooms where teachers are available to support you every morning from 10.00-11.00am. You shouldn’t be spending all day on home learning-remember to take time to do the things you enjoy, like spending time with your families, playing outside if you can, doing some art and craft, cooking and reading. Read lots of books while you are at home!

Many of you will be wondering when you can come back to school and at the moment, I’m sorry that I don’t know the answer to that question. We will all be back together again when the government tells us it is safe for us all to return. I am really looking forward to when school can properly reopen and we can all be together. Your teachers and I are really missing you all.

Finally keep remembering to listen to your parents and carers. It is a worrying time for the grown-ups too and they need you to be kind. I know you can do it!

I will be in touch again next week and am looking forward to when we can all be back in school together again.

With best wishes and lots of love,
Mrs Saville
