Hello Everyone!!!

 

Welcome to my first blog in this crazy new world and the sun is shining!!!

I know that the last few days have been very confusing for the adults let alone the children, so I firstly wanted to say that you are all doing an amazing job with your young people, so please enjoy spending some quality time with them...that is the most important thing. 

To help support you at home and to give you ideas on keeping your child occupied, you will hopefully all have received lots of information regarding your child's learning, either through the post or in your child's book bags. In the packs are logons for the two main platforms that we use in school i.e. Purple Mash and Education City. I will be using both of these in suggesting activities for you to use at home to support learning at home. Please note that both of these websites are seeing a large amount of traffic and therefore sometimes you may have to try a few times to log on. 

 I will be contacting you all via email on a weekly basis to catch up and provide more activities. Should you want to speak to me, please email me directly to arrange a convenient time for me to call you. (powella@astleypark.lancs.sch.uk.)

I have already had some fab photos sent through of my students doing some wonderful things at home. It would be great if you could send me more as the weeks progress so that I can share them with our other students and parents in our blogs. 

Lastly, I want to personally say a huge thank you to those parents that remain front line workers.

Stay safe everyone and enjoy the sun while it lasts!!!

 

Mrs Powell
