Hello everyone

We are sure you will agree that this week has had many successes, as well as quite a few challenges as you, your children and staff settle into the routine of learning from home.

Thank you for getting in touch if you had any initial difficulties with the digital side of things – we are glad that we’ve been able to sort these out for you – hopefully the solutions we have provided have helped. Your child will be enjoying seeing their keyworker and some of their friends from nursery during our Google Meets at 2.30pm every day. To help us just a little and to ensure the safety of all, we ask that you leave the session promptly – before the member of staff please and also continue to direct any questions or comments to us via email, and not via Google Classroom or at the end of the live session.  Many thanks for your help with this.

When emailing, it would be really helpful if you could please include your child’s name and also their keyworker’s name.  This will ensure that emails can be dealt with really quickly for you and by the right person – thanks.  Next week, Miss Weldon and Mrs Kerr will be hosting some of the Google Meet sessions on Google Classroom as a support to staff working in our Nursery Hub or working from home.

If you could post some photos on Twitter of some of the fun learning at home activities that are happening we would be delighted to see these https://twitter.com/sand_nc.

Remember that we are here to help, this includes if you need any resources from us in relation to your child’s learning activities eg cardboard, glue etc., then please do just get in touch and we will be happy to help.

Next week, Mrs Sweeney and Mrs Kerr will be hosting a live Google Meet Drop In for nursery parents/carers.  This will be an informal opportunity for you to drop in, if you wish, to ask any general questions that you have.  More info will be sent out to you in relation to this and also including the date and time of this session early next week.

Meanwhile, have a lovely weekend….we are sure you will be looking forward to some rest over the weekend as much as we all are. J

Warmest wishes

Yvonne Donaldson (HT) and Angela Kerr (PT)
