Panders Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 My son brought home a 1000 jigsaw - something we can do together he said. Except - even at pre school I was known as a pretty bad jigsaw maker 😂 Anyway, we started it after evening meal stopped at about 11/11.30. When I came down next morning he's already at it and we finish it at about 2.30. He has done the majority I was sorting and sifting pieces. Don't think he quite got it that jigsaws this big should be done over a week or so😂 Or is that just me? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I've been tucked up watching The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Soc - my absolute fav film at the moment ooh........ and mine. Loved the book as well and one of the very, very few film adaptions that I wasn't terribly disappointed in. It's a lovely film isnt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Early Years Early years settings (including nurseries and childminders) should continue to allow all children/pupils to attend as normal. School-based nurseries in primary schools have discretion to follow arrangements for the primary school. Attendance expectations: Early years Attendance at early years and childcare settings is not compulsory.
