Well first of all , Happy Easter to you all! I hope this blog finds you safe and well as the lock-down continues.
I want to take this opportunity to say an enormous thank you to all of the adults who are supporting the pupils with their learning, keeping their patience and encouragement to ensure that each and every child has access to learning each day. I am so proud of all the lovely pictures, messages and contact we have had this week with all the evidence of learning taking place. I say this often, but none more so than now, that we could not be as successful without you; the adults at home teaching their own children which I know can be a much more challenging task than teacher others... trust me I am experiencing it too! Please keep doing what you are doing! I also want to thank all of the children who are facing the same challenges of motivation, enthusiasm, boredom and the desire to be with family and friends. I ask you to be patient and keep with a routine of doing learning tasks, exercise and spending time with those you live with. It is extremely important we follow the rules to enable us all to be able to come back together once this is all over. Finally, I know I do not do this often but I wanted to thank all the staff at High View for those that have been in school supporting our pupils, ensuring we have food to eat, the school is clean and for those attempting to have Easter holidays but are also providing support through Class dojo, Purple Mash, planning our weekly tasks and ensuring that learning continues to take place. Again, without you the school would not keep running, in whatever way that is at the moment, without you. New and exciting changes as of Week Commencing 20.4.20 As I type, it is looking likely that school will continue to be on partial opening for our key workers and vulnerable over the next few weeks. Based on this assumption, we are now looking at launching a programme Seesaw which will provide a platform for teachers to plan work, pupils to upload their work and then teachers can comment on the work they have completed. This will hopefully encourage all pupils to engage in their learning and feedback can be shared. More information will follow this next week as we begin to orgainse the information needed and actions you need to take to get in up and running. Support at home Before the lock-down, we sent letters out asking for those that do not have access to the internet or have a tablet or laptop to use. Please contact school next week if you do not have access to either of these and we will offer whatever support necessary and that is available to school. Once again thank you to each and everyone of you for supporting the school and the learning of our pupils. If you need any support please contact school. Thanks Miss Smith

Hello to you all!
Another week has passed and I hope this message finds you all well and safe. First of all, thank you to all the families who have shared their work and photos on dojo and on twitter. It is so wonderful to see your faces happy and well, and makes all the staff feel a little bit closer to you all, as we are missing you all so much and counting down to when we can all be back in school together as a team! Please, please, please can you keep doing this as it lets us all know you are safe and well. Secondly, it is supposed to be the Easter holidays so we have put some wonderful and creative activities on our home schooling page to complete over the two weeks. A small number of staff will be in school during these weeks but the majority of staff will be taking their Easter holidays so please be patient should you contact them and they do not respond immediately. For an urgent response, please ring school and a working member of our team will be able to support you. Please remember though it is a holiday so please take time to relax and hopefully enjoy the longer days in the garden and having quality family time. Finally, please can I beg and plead with you all to stay at home as this virus continues to spread. That way we can contain it as much as possible is to remain with our household and only go out when necessary. We are all thinking about each and everyone of you and you are never far from our thoughts, hoping and wishing you are all safe and well. You know where we are should you need anything at all. Please keep in touch, we all need the contact and personal touch through photos and message during this time. Keep talking, keep being kind and keep being you! It is always good enough! All my love Miss Smith xxx |
