Now that the Government has extended the Restricted Movement Order to Tuesday 14th April, this carries into our End of Term break which is from Saturday 4th April to Sunday 19th April. This end of term 1 break will continue as normal between these dates. All being well we now return to school on Monday 20th April, but of course this could change if the MCO is further extended.

To help during this upcoming holiday period, TISKL will be providing Holiday Packs. These packs will give your child a chance to review work they have been doing this term. We are also looking at keeping the community together by introducing other voluntary non-curriculum activities. Please follow our Facebook or Instagram pages to see them or check them out in the Primary Google Sites .

Thank you to everyone who has given the school feedback through the recent survey. Nearly 90% of families are happy with the continuity of learning that the school has been providing. The students survey showed similar results with 97% of the respondents actively involved in their learning.

Working and learning from home is very different to what we have experienced before. Advice from experts is to keep routines as before, especially with simple things such as sleep times, mealtimes and break times. This is a useful link from the BBC about effective working from home. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51868894

Finally, the news at the moment is quite depressing and filtering the overload of information we get can be quite difficult, especially trying to differentiate between truth and rumour. Remember, your children are hearing similar news and are perhaps stressed like you are.
