Year 7 'Make Your £5 Grow'

Congratulations to both our Year 7 classes for taking part in the Financial Capability Themed Week.  They worked together to organise and offer a range of activities, eg, nail painting, games, puppet show, craft and food stalls.  Other pupils were able to visit the stalls during the week and spend lots and lots of money!!  Thank you for supporting this event.

THE CLASSROOMS MAY BE CLOSED BUT THE LEARNING CONTINUES

I really hope you are all keeping well especially in these circumstances as we come to terms with the horror of COVID 19.

The classrooms may be closed but the learning continues. As we approach the Easter holidays the work in your learning packs will near completion and learning will commence online. Every Monday and Wednesday your teacher will post a note along with learning activities based on your class topics. These may be accessed through the Learning From Home Fun and Games Tab. Click on your year group to access your learning and guidance from your teacher. Aim for approximately one hour of online learning daily.
Working in isolation is tough for pupils and a lot of the teaching which we do in school allows for communication with peers. Without this one hour working on your own might seem a lot more to a child. Once we get back to school teachers will make sure that everyone gets back on track.

Enjoy the time as best as you can as a family. Do the things that regular life doesn’t always allow time for, watch movies, cook meals together, play board games and enjoy each other’s company.
Let’s use this era of enforced empathy, and when the storm clears let something beautiful unfold. We’ve never needed each other more, we will get through this and come out stronger and wiser.

Join us for a clap for our kids on Monday 20th April 2020 at 7pm as we commence our learning online and celebrate the beginning of the Summer term.

Take care and stay safe

Our little heroes have stayed indoors without really understanding why they can’t go out or see their family and friends.
At the blink of an eye their lives have been turned upside down and they are expected to follow rules they have never known and live a life they couldn’t have ever imagined.
To show how proud we are of them all, let’s get everyone clapping for our little heroes at Edwards!
