Dear Parents and Carers
As we come to the end of this half-term, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work in supporting your children and our school since the start of January. School is not the same without all our Red and Green Apples and we miss them very much. Thank you for helping to assist your child's learning and development, whilst also juggling the many challenges we are all currently facing.
It has not been easy trying to meet the needs of our young children (both emotionally and educationally), meeting work deadlines and trying to keep our homes calm in these uncertain times. We have all done the very best that we can, and you deserve a big 'well done' for making it to half-term!
I would also like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to all our school staff for the work they have undertaken to operate ongoing childcare support for the children of key workers, whilst continuing to provide high quality remote learning resources for the children staying at home.
Hopefully after half-term, we will receive information from the Department of Education about our return to the classrooms and we will look forward to being together again at school. In the meantime, new Contingency Packs have been sent home for your child and the videos to support each learning activity in the pack will be made available via our website after half-term. Please only use the current topic Contingency Packs (as outlined on the website clips) to support the learning videos uploaded each day. These have been carefully organised to cover the termly topic content, in line with our pre-school curriculum here at Knockbreda Nursery School.
If you have been unable to collect your new pack this week for use after half-term, these will be available again for collection on Monday 22nd February.
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy half-term break.
Kind regards,
Dr Mitchell-Barrett
