Good afternoon!

I hope you and your family are keeping well.  Please tell the children I am missing them already and Room 5 was a very quiet place today.

I posted last week some ideas for activities to do at home for those already self-isolating and I will copy these onto the bottom of this post too.  A folder of work with activities and website suggestions has also been given out which you can work through in any order and at any pace.  However,  as every families’ circumstances are different, don’t worry if you don’t get it done.  Please make sure in the days ahead you are making lots of time for play and having fun at home, this is more important than any task I set.

Take care of yourselves and I will hopefully see you all soon.

Mrs Lindsay
