Yesterday the Prime Minister announced that schools will not open for all children until at least 8th March. We are all sad about this and know that the decision will be disappointing for many families especially our children. We also know that it has been made to keep everyone safe and that by working together, we can try to make sure that everyone is back in school as soon as possible.

I can think of lots of ways in which we are all working together to overcome the difficult time we are experiencing. Can you think of some of the things we are doing to help each other? Can you make a list?

Watch this video and look at what happens when everyone works together.

What was happening in the clip?

For me, the net breaking at the end is like the moment I am looking forward to when you are all back in school bringing your sense of humour, good learning skills and desire to be the best you can. Some of you might remember this song and I expect Mrs Summerfield knows all of the moves too! You can dance along with it too!

Keep going with all that you are doing.

Dear God

Thank you for our families who are taking good care of us during this time.

Help us to work together to find something good to do every day

Help us to continue learning wherever we are today

Help us to stay strong, positive and keep our sense of fun

Amen
