We’ve had stunning weather this week, how about you? It’s been glorious and we’ve taken the learning outside as much as possible, once all the bits and bobs we need to do online have been done.
HOME SCHOOLING DURING COVID-19: WEEK 12
Children’s lockdown birthday? No problem with Non-Stop Kids

HOME SCHOOLING DURING COVID-19: WEEK 11
This week, some children in England have returned to school. In Wales, that hasn’t happened yet, but this week we have heard that schools in Wales will re-open at the end of June.

Plans were also announced regarding extending the summer term by one week.

I’ve generally found that the lower I set my expectations at the start of the day, the better the day and the more we achieve, so I’ve been trying to roll with that as much as possible.
