Zoom sessions
Next week the children who are learning from home will be invited to a zoom session with their teacher. This zoom session will be with a group of children from their class. You will find the focus of the zoom session on the website each Friday. Sometimes your child will need to bring something along with them. Your child does not have to join in with these zooms, they are optional. Unfortunately, the timings of these zooms cannot be changed as most teachers are teaching in school. Look out for the link to your child’s zoom, which will be sent, via email on a Friday. Look forward to seeing you all next week.
