This would be against all of the advice we have been given as you know. If she doesn't get a good answer maybe an email to the local LEA. It really isn't on when all of us are working so hard to get it right. 4 Quote

Its not our borough otherwise I would have said something via official channels to our team......having had an extra week you would have thought they had considered the guidance even more than those of us in last week. 2 Quote

We reopened this week with very few children, staggered starts, not open every day, social distancing for parents etc, as per the guidance. You'd think the parents would know better than to stand near each other as well Poor staff, as you say. 1 Quote

We've not opened so far (very low uptake not financially viable), we've been out delivering busy bags this week etc- one of the 3 parents that wanted to come back asked if we would still be having our end of year party this year.... even if it's for one big party for them on what would have been their/our last day! 1 2 Quote

Love the idea of 'busy bags' what have you put in them? Quote

The leavers was mainly transition type bits- usually this half of term we would be working on 'All About Me' type booklets to pass onto school (our schools don't actually like the formal transition documents from the LA 😂). We've gone against the grain this year - and I've actually printed off work books from Twinkle 🙀 for parents to do with the children. Set set of coloured pencils , a few scavenger hunts.... that type of thing. Information for parents to about what the children need to be able to do independence wise. Note: when I say workbook - it is more - A drawing of- me, my family, my favourite things etc and not actually 'work' The Youngers had a book each (curtesy of The Booktrust ) and a packets of sunflowers seeds (home grown from last year) asking them to plant and bring a photo back in September. The book was 'My Pet Star' -so we added a star to decorate and make own pet, recipe for a star biscuit ..... and again bits from Twinkle Them we added bits of collage type bits and card to make a Father's Day card. Having paid for Twinkle I was getting my money's worth! Usually I am against the printed fodder type things, but this year is defiantly different. 3 Quote
