• School Return / Photos for Weekly Update

  Wed 24 Feb 2021

  Dear parent,

  I hope you all enjoyed a good half term break.

  I want to draw your attention to a couple of things:

   

  1. There is currently a lot of coverage of school return plans commencing on Monday 8th March. The recent interventions and communications from the First Minister and the Minister for Education have led to some uncertainty about the plans and as far as I am aware, the issue is being 'revisited' by the NI Executive. I would hope to be in a better position by Friday's update to give you more concrete plans but, for now, the intention remains that P1-P3 will return from Monday 8th March for two weeks and they will then resume remote learning for the last week before the Easter break (Monday 22 March - Friday 26 March). P4-P7 will continue to learn remotely until after the Easter break at the earliest. Please look out for this week's Friday update for more definite plans. 

   

  2. If you wish to send any photos for the weekly update on Friday, perhaps from your half term break or from this week's home learning, please send them by Friday at midday.
   
  Many thanks

• A Few Bits and Pieces

  Fri 05 Feb 2021

  Dear parent,

  There will be no main update this week, but this is just a quick note to update you on a few things.

   

  KEY WORKER PROVISION/ONLINE LEARNING 

   

  There will be no supervised learning for key worker children or vulnerable children during the week beginning Monday 15th February. This is the half term week that has been planned since the start of the school year 
  There will be no online learning set during that week either. This is a chance for everyone to catch their breath and take a week away from home learning. 
  Key worker provision will end at 12.15pm next Friday afternoon (12th Feb) as this was the originally planned finish time for half term
  Online learning and key worker provision will resume on Monday 22nd February. 

   

  SMILE DAY

   

  Hopefully you've been able to do something a bit lighter today. Whatever you've been up to, please feel free to send any photos to include in our next update by midday on Friday 12th Feb. Also, a huge thank you to all who have donated to our appeal for Bandanas for the Brave. We have far exceeded our target. I will inform you of the final total in next week's update. Thank you again. 

   

  HOME LEARNING

   

  As I often like to do, allow me to share some of the most recent experiences of home learning and life in the Corbett household, so that none of you feel that you are alone in your struggles! The last couple of weeks have been typified by later starts in the morning and earlier finishes in the afternoons. Motivation levels have been slipping as we approach half term and we have had the usual, let's call them 'disagreements', over screen time!! All we can do is keep going until half term and then take a much needed break from it all. 

   

  Have a great weekend.
