Dear parents/carers,

Hope you are all safe and well, we are missing the children! But is cabin fever setting in? Are the children starting to get bored?

Following the decision to close schools and with the prospect of further disruption here are some ideas you might want to do at home to keep those brain cells going:-

Curl up under a blanket in your Onesie and read a good book, magazine or newspaper!

The Olaf challenge! Build a mini snowman and design a box/package that will keep it frozen for as long as possible!  This is a science based activity that we will be exploring more next term.
