Another week of home learning complete!

The teachers have been very impressed with the work being done by their pupils and have enjoyed keeping in touch over Teams.

Our mental maths skills have been put to the test with the Pupils v Teachers challenges and we are sure you will help our school get to top spot on the leaderboard in the Sumdog Easter Challenge.

Today is the last day of term, and so it is time for you all to rest and a enjoy a well-deserved break. There won’t be work added to your team over the next two weeks, but please pop on and say hello or share some pictures of what you have been getting up to.

The House Captains had decided that our monthly dress down day should also be a ‘crazy hair day’. We would love for you to get inventive with whatever you can find in the house and share you pictures on Twitter or your Team.

Have fun today, and for the next two weeks. Our new term of learning will start on Monday 20th April.

Stay safe everyone.

Team MPS

To all of our Morningsiders,

Below you will find all of the information you need to get started with home learning whilst the schools are closed. This is just a starting point and I’m sure there will be many changes as time goes on. Although we are providing you with suggested learning activities, we in no way want you to feel under pressure to complete all of these tasks.

This is a difficult time for our parents/carers and children, and it is important to remember that we need to take care of our mental health and acknowledge that emotions will be high and everyone will need a bit of nurture. Take this opportunity to do the things you might struggle to fit in to ‘normal’ family life. Teach your children to tie shoelaces and ties, cook/bake together, go for walks/bike rides or do some arts and crafts. Make use of the vast amount of mindful activities that are available online and try to find some peace and distraction from the worries we are faced with.
