Letters From Home

We have been thinking about how our lives have changed over the last month. What are some positives and what are some negatives about these changes? How are we now spending our time with the Covid19 Lock-down in place? Here is a grid with a link to each child's letter to the teacher about how this is going for them. It is great to read the positive things that our children are doing with family.
