Newsletter – 15th January 2021

Another busy, happy, and productive week in the world of BAWB. Who knew that we would have a couple of snow days thrown into our current situation? Thank you for all the photos of snowmen and igloos etc. I hope you all had fun with your families.

Let’s fight Covid together!

We understand that lockdown presents us with many challenges and that helping your child with remote learning can be very difficult, especially if you are also juggling your own work. Thank you to those of you who are managing this so admirably. If your child is entitled to an onsite place, thank you for thinking carefully about whether or not you need it. We seek to protect our children, our families, and our staff by trying to keep our bubbles small; let’s continue to work together to stop the spread of the virus. Please remember the key message from our government: stay at home if you can.

Huge congratulations to all of our home-learners who have been engaging so wonderfully with our remote learning. The pictures you have shared with us speak volumes about how committed you all are to supporting your children from home. We understand that you haven’t chosen the route of home schooling and we recognise that the parent-child relationship is very different from the teacher-child relationship. This is an unprecedented, temporary, national situation and we hope that the expectations we place on you and your children are realistic. Our remote-learning package should be supportive; providing ideas, focus, and plenty to do to keep you busy and learning. We also recognise that sometimes a walk, a story, or a film is just what you need. Look after your mental health!
