Good Morning! I hope you have all had a well-earned break and have managed to spend some quality time with your family. It has been lovely that some of our lock down rules have been eased slightly and I hope some of you have been able to see loved ones that you have been missing. It’s been the perfect weather for a socially distanced chat in the garden with some friends or family!
And just like that, we are entering week 9 of your home learning. I cannot believe how quickly time has flown by and yet it does feel like such a long time ago that we were all together in school. It is at this time of the year that you are probably thinking more and more about your high school. Over the coming weeks, I am sure you will have some lovely transition activities to complete from you high school or from me. I have also had the privilege of talking to many of your high schools, either on the phone or via Zoom, to tell them about how wonderful you all are and how lucky they are to have you joining them in September. Please do email me and let me know if you have any questions/concerns about the transition process, and I will do my very best to answer these for you (or find someone who can answer these questions for you!)
