Its amazing what happens when you have time on your hands. Miss Neal has had lots of fun turning us into some of our favourite characters.
We thought that the children might enjoy these photos.

I hope you are all keeping well and are enjoying spending time together.
I have been putting lots of activities for the children to enjoy on our class page so I hope you have been able to access them. Please can you let me know if you want anything in particular extra putting on as I am happy to do that. You can email me and I will try and accommodate.
As the weeks pass it appears that we are becoming more accepting of the situation and many parents that I have spoken to are saying that they are enjoying this time. I am fortunate that I am still working and am able to be in school during the week. It is a very strange place as it is so quiet. Normally in the holidays if teachers go into school they often make the joke that its so nice to have the quiet. I WILL NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN, I HATE IT. It needs filling with children and hopefully we will be able to do that soon.
 We hope you liked the staff video on the website and keep checking as more may appear!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile enjoy the sunshine and stay safe.

Miss Chandler got carried away!

Well our two week Easter holiday is now over and we would normally be thinking about going back to school next week. I think under normal circumstances we would all have thought what an amazing 2 week we have had with fantastic weather. Unfortunately due to the circumstances it has made us feel differently. I do believe we have been very lucky as the weather has certainly brightened our spirits. I hope that you are all being positive and trying to enjoy our new daily life. I know there are many clips and video's out there that are very funny and some inspiring. I just wanted to give you this one. I don't know who wrote it but I felt it was quite a moving thought and a good message to us all.

We fell asleep in one world, and woke up in another. Suddenly Disney is out of magic, Paris is no longer romantic, New York doesn't stand up anymore, the Chinese wall is no longer a fortress, and Mecca is empty.
Hugs and kisses suddenly become weapons, and not visiting parent's and friends becomes an act of love. Suddenly you realise that power, beauty and money are worthless, and cant get you the oxygen your fighting for.
The world continues its life and it is beautiful. It only puts humans in cages. I think its sending a message." you are not necessary. The air, earth water and sky without you are fine. When you come back, remember that you are my guests. Not my masters"

I think and hope that we will all reflect on this time and learn from it. I certainly will. One big lesson I have learnt is that I NEED TO STOP EATING!!!!!!!!!
Please continue to send things to me by email. I will be putting new things on the nursery page for the children to do. Remember to check receptions as well. I will be back at school on Monday and will continue to miss you all but I know that soon we will be back together.
I am sure you will all have been doing similar jobs to me and one of those was going through old photos. Here is one that you may have a giggle at. Don't I look happy!!!!!

Good morning to you all. I hope you are all keeping well and trying to make the most of this situation. It seems such a long time ago when we were in school together. I am sat in the office with Mrs Munn and we have both been chatting about how quiet it is and how much we miss the hustle and bustle of school life. Something that we take for granted.
We will be adding new activities for you to do on the webpage so keep checking. I know I have mentioned this before but the best activities to do are on the website ABCdoes.com. If you search ABCdoes home learning you will find it. I have just been looking at it and it is full of really fun easy things that the children can do on their own or with you. If you navigate around that web page you will find lots of really interesting articles that he writes. You might even find a few blog comments from me as I am an addict to everything that Alastair Bryce Clegg does for early years.. Hence the name ABC does.
When you are looking for ideas please make sure you look at Mrs Sheehan's thumbnail as we have created enough activities between us to last you months.
Here are a few photos of Honey and Ginger chilling.
