Back at School!

It is great to be back at school, to see the children and to begin to learn again.  The last two weeks have been busy getting use to new routines and for the children to renew friendships.

Learning from home was enjoyable but I did miss the contact with the children.  As the children in my class are only 5 years old, I had emails from parents and saw some of the children in class and team hangouts if parents were available to help the children join the hangouts. 

 On the first day back it was all a bit different.  Everyone was learning to use the new routines and the children found this tiring.  We just took things slowly, doing fun things, eating when they said they were hungry and doing Engage activities to help break up the day.  The children are being kind with their words when reminding others what needs to be done.  They are seated apart but we have had fun doing exercises, blowing bubbles, doing lots of art activities and even making "social distancing" hats!

We all agree on one thing - it's great to be back at school.
