Dear Parents, Carers and Learners,I hope this newsletter finds you all safe and well, whatever the circumstances you are currently facing, during this time of ‘lock-down’ within your own household and in those of your wider family and friends. There has been a considerable volume of information coming towards us all and you may have had times when you’ve felt overwhelmed but the priority over the past week has been to take time to transition into a new way of working and to prioritise health and wellbeing during what is a strange and alarming time for everyone. I hope that you have been able to figure out routines that work for your family, that allow for a good balance of the things that nourish and sustain you. A balance of active, creative and outside activities and perhaps a chance to check in with some of the learning on offer. It’s been brilliant to see the Happy News on the school website page.We are getting settled into our base at Holyrood High School for children of key workers. We have been learning how far 2 Metres is and doing our best to keep that distance apart from each other in our space! We made some rainbows today which we shared on twitter and had some fun in the school grounds. Look out for more activities we will share on twitter and ‘happy news’ on the school website. If you want to add any of your happy news please e mail it to Miss Smith.If you would like to share what you’re getting up to on twitter, then please use the tag @DuddingstonPS along with any of the class pages that you may be following.
